FAQ

Competitive Edge

  • Why choose Exhive over other free AI tools like ChatGPT? AI-generated recipes are only as good as the data behind them. Unlike generic platforms, we start with your company’s own data, past products, recipes, ingredients, and sensory tests ensuring accurate, constraint-compliant recipes instead relying on generic “close-enough” databases. If you do not have data, Exhive can also be used with zero data to start with as it will gather the necessary data through experimentation.

Customization & Fit

  • Can Exhive adapt to our product development process? Yes, it’s built to flex around your workflow, no matter the complexity or category.

  • Is it made for product developers like us? Absolutely. Exhive is designed for daily use by product developers, with a simple interface and management-friendly overview. Product Developers are the main users of the platform, no deep technical skills needed.

Data Integration & Usage

  • Can Exhive integrate with our internal data? Yes. It seamlessly connects to your data and builds on what you’ve already done — no info gets lost.

  • Can we use consumer or sensory data? Yes. Exhive supports internal tastings, sensory panels, and consumer test data. You can keep adding new data as needed.

  • Can recipe or ingredient data be anonymized? Yes — the platform works with any naming convention, so ingredient details stay private.

 Data Ownership & Security

  • Who owns the data and recipes? You do. All generated content is fully owned by you.

  • Is our data shared with others? Never. Each client operates in their own secure environment. No data or models are shared.

Platform & Tech

  • Do I need coding skills? Not at all. It’s built for non-technical users.

  • Are you using LLMs? Yes, for tasks like ingredient parsing — but not in formulation, where precision and constraints matter.

  • How do you handle ingredient variation (e.g. agriculture changes)? We track ingredient-level detail and update formulas when nutritional or supplier changes occur.

  • What categories do you support? Exhive has been used for everything from baked goods and candies to spice blends, beverages, and more.
