COMMERCE-BASED SHOPPING EXPERIENCE WITH DIGITAL TWIN SIMULATION INFUSION

Abstract

In an approach for creating a digital twin representative of a user and the food consumption of the user and for performing a simulation of the digital twin to create a food buying plan for a shopping cycle, a processor creates a digital twin representative of a user. A processor mines for data about the user from a plurality of sources to personalize the digital twin. A processor performs a simulation of the digital twin to create a food buying plan for a shopping cycle. A processor identifies a price of each food item on the food buying plan and one or more available offers on each food item on the food buying plan to determine whether a monetary budget for the shopping cycle is sufficient. Responsive to determining the monetary budget for the shopping cycle is sufficient, a processor outputs a shopping list for the shopping cycle.
