While AI can create almost any image imaginable, when given the task of creating a food image it often offers up disappointing results – from monstrous tomatoes and grotesque portions, to sauce splattered all over the place. Even AI needs help with cooking.
AI can play piano or launch a rocket, but when it comes to creating an appealing image of something as simple as a plate of spaghetti, it fails terribly. We knew Heinz, as the tastiest tomato-leading brand, had an ownable angle to this conversation and an opportunity to prove it can help everyone improve their tomato recipes. Even AI.
Using over 150 years of expertise in all things tomato, Heinz tackled the problem through the launch of its first recipe book for Artificial Intelligence. Developed jointly by Heinz chefs and an AI designer and prompts expert, the AI CookBook features more than 30 recipes and the prompts AI must follow to master them. Each one is perfected with an ingredient capable of elevating any meal, even digital ones – Heinz tomatoes.
Following the success of the first Heinz culinary tomato products campaign, Heinz Tomato Open Sauce, the brand has embraced an open-source tech philosophy to inspire its fan base to enhance their culinary creativity. Heinz’s free online cookbook allows Heinz lovers to create perfect tomato-based recipes digitally and in real life.
