CONNECTING INTELLIGENCE ACROSS K-12 NUTRITION

Our Partnerships with AskJen and Saavor

A t Gaia, our mission is simple: give school nutrition teams the tools, data, and clarity they need to do their jobs well. Every feature we build and every partnership we form comes back to one question — does this make life easier for the people feeding students every day? Our partnerships with AskJen and Saavor AI are a direct answer to that question. Both companies are building technology specifically for K-12 foodservice. Their approaches are different, but the goal is the same as ours: use smarter systems and better data to cut

through complexity and help school nutrition teams run more effectively.

Phase One: Better Data Behind the Answers AskJen will now draw from Gaia's product catalog — a living database integrated directly with manufacturers and enriched with child nutrition data. This means verified spec sheets, CN information, and nutritional details, all reviewed through a compliance lens. For directors making decisions about substitutions, menu changes, or procurement, this matters. Instead of hunting for product information or relying on generalized guidance, they get accurate, manufacturer-backed data they can actually trust.

AskJen: Smarter Answers, Faster AskJen is a AI model built specifically for school food professionals. It pulls from USDA guidance, compliance materials, training resources, and equipment documentation — so whether a director needs a quick answer on a regulation or a cook needs help with a piece of equipment, AskJen has it covered, by chat or voice, on any device. Here's how our partnership makes it even more powerful.
