You are not sleeping through an electric dream (shoutout to Philip K. Dick fans out there); AI is creeping into all aspects of daily life, and the CPG industry is no exception.

Food and beverage businesses are starting to apply AI tools to track trends, streamline product development and meet pent-up demand with new innovations.

With consumer data in abundance, tracking sales numbers and buying pattern fluctuations in real-time is increasingly difficult. One startup is taking these tools to merge real-time market insights with its own proprietary AI platform that, over its four-year journey, has launched four new brands into the market. Now, it’s opening up access for others.
