Announced at CES 2018, Samsung's Meal Planner is about to join the suite of apps available on the Family Hub series of smart refrigerators.
Meal Planner allows a users to plan meals based on personal preferences, dietary restrictions, and expiration dates.
As a proof of concept we (the Team) developed a chatbot to demonstrate Meal Planner using APIs to the Calendar, Food List, Shopping list, and Recipe App.
