Food, beverage and ingredient companies have led global food innovation but still depend on the same manual tools used in the 1980s. While most industries digitised their R&D, food application development continues to rely on spreadsheets, disparate systems and paper records.
AKA Studio fixes that.
It transforms the food innovation process from reactive problem-solving to continuous, data-driven improvement; connecting every element of product design, from formulation to sensory validation, through the Food-Specific AI Assistant within one secure and intelligent environment.
The AKA Studio
Unifies and unlocks your knowledge
It centralizes every formulation, result, and report into one structured data framework that the AI can understand and reason over.
Experiment smarter and faster
Use digital workbench for product & process design with statistical, modeling, and Design of Experiments (DOE) tools to cut wasted cycles.
Integrate sensory intelligence
Connect human feedback with machine learning for continuous refinement, improving market adoption and product quality through sensory-in-the-loop validation.
Optimise confidently
Balance cost, compliance, sustainability, and nutrition without compromising taste or texture; guided by the Food-Specific AI Assistant that recommends optimal trade-offs across parameters.
Collaborate securely
Empower teams across locations while keeping data fully siloed and protected, with access and context managed through the AI Assistant.
With AKA Studio, food innovators move from reactive fixes to proactive, data-driven innovation.
