There are many everyday challenges…
I’m frustrated because
sometimes I have to tap and
scroll my phone many times just
to see how much sugar I need!
I’m worried because I want to
cook today but I’m not sure what
to make since my partner
handles the grocery orders

Two phrases to address these issues
1. Natural Interactions
2. Communal

Voice User Interfaces are convenient
- Users can get answers with any granularity, whenever
they need it, compared to click and scroll with a GUI
- Hands-free access to recipes is key when hands are
busy or messy with food
- The information is accessible by voice wherever you are
in the room, even when out of reach

Smart Speakers are communal
- Smart Speakers are not personal devices, but always-on,
and linked to a place, not a person. Like the kitchen!
- Anyone in the family can easily access information
- Everyone in the family can engage in the kitchen and
enjoy cooking!!

Make everyday cooking fun
I enjoy cooking more because I
don’t need to use messy hands
or look to read the recipe, I can
just focus on cooking by voice!
I can start cooking with
confidence because my smart
speaker in the kitchen knows
our current kitchen status with
Cookpad
