Abstract

Chatbots and conversational systems are increasingly emerging as technologies to support decision- making systems and to improve human-machine interaction. Our paper aims to demonstrate how social media and chatbots can improve the decisions of a consumer of food products and reduce food waste, whereas simplified conversational systems are taken into account to facilitate the interaction between users and application. In particular the paper presents a mobile app for Food Purchase Decision and Waste Minimizing where social tools and chatbots play an important role to support the implementation of an electronic pantry to optimize food purchase and consumption. This smart pantry has a memory of all the foods present in the home pantry. This allows the app to recommend the use of products that are about to expire, to provide with the help of a chatbot advice for the purchase of products useful for making recipes that take into account the products present in the pantry, to highlight gastronomic events to participate in for the type of tastings that are offered.
