Based on a number of questions answered by customers, the company is able to infer the best recipes for a user and the groceries to deliver.
A New York-based startup called Hungryroot is going one step further. The nine-year-old company — using artificial intelligence, of course — is providing a more curated experience and delivering the precise amount of food a consumer will use. "Hungryroot is entirely designed to give you just the foods that you're going to need for your week," Ben McKean, the company's CEO, told CNBC. "And it gives you simple recipes, so you know exactly what to do with them, and as a result, food waste with our customers is significantly reduced."
