AI summary

In one embodiment, the present disclosure is directed to a method for producing a product. For each sample chemical composition of sample chemical compositions, the method inputs into a first model chemoinformatic properties of ingredients of the sample chemical composition, and a value of a property of the sample chemical composition. A new chemical composition is determined via the first model based thereon. The method inputs into a second model, for each sample product of sample products, a value for one or more visual properties of a packaging of the sample product, and one or more characteristics of the new chemical composition. A value is determined for each of the visual properties via the second model. A new product is produced comprising the new chemical composition and packaging comprising the values.
