Zia Sofia, Italian by origin and heart, is the result of advanced AI technology that combines the wisdom and tradition of Italian cuisine with the modern and innovative perspective of artificial intelligence. The chef is an AI-created avatar with blue eyes, short white hair, and a friendly and reassuring smile. She made her debut just a few months ago in Italy and now aims to conquer palates around the world with her gourmet yet simple approach to cooking.
Zia Sofia communicates on Instagram and can be considered a virtual food influencer. Every piece of content is created by AI, from images to recipes, texts, and videos. Zia Sofia’s communicative narrative is a virtual journey that started in Italy, region by region, and will continue abroad. The initiative can be followed on Instagram through #ziasofiaintour.
These days, Zia Sofia is visiting New York, adding an exciting and significant stop to her world tour. During her stay in the Big Apple, Zia Sofia will explore the city’s cosmopolitan flavors and share her unique culinary experiences with her followers. Food lovers around the world can expect exclusive content and inspirations directly from New York’s kitchens.
In addition to daily communication on Instagram, the chef is interactive through a free app available and optimized in both Italian and English. Zia Sofia’s app offers three pre-trained models to meet users’ diverse culinary needs:
- Gourmet Model: Ideal for those who want to prepare elaborate and refined dishes, perfect for special occasions and high-class dinners.

“Artificial intelligence will radically change gastronomy. With Zia Sofia, everyone has a personal chef at their fingertips with whom they can interact for recipes and advice at any time in a simple way. Even professional and amateur chefs will find valuable support in Zia Sofia, including from a creative standpoint. And we’re just at the beginning; soon, it will be possible to request recipes and content in video format as well,” said Zia Sofia’s co-founders and creators, Marian Adel and Eugenio Azzinnari.
