The problem it solves

Clients want quick answers about meals and nutrition, but you can't be available around the clock to review photos and answer questions one by one. Repetitive nutrition questions eat into time you'd rather spend on paying consultations.

Who it fits

Dietitians, nutritionists, and health coaches offering client support over WhatsApp.

How it works

  1. A client sends a text question or a photo of their meal on WhatsApp
  2. The system tells whether it's a question or a meal photo and handles each differently
  3. For meal photos, it analyzes the food and estimates calories and nutrition
  4. For questions, it answers using nutrition guidance and suggests meals when asked
  5. The client receives a clear, mobile-friendly reply with recommendations
What you get

Instant nutrition answers for your clients

You get clients answered instantly on WhatsApp with meal photo analysis and nutrition guidance, any time they reach out.

What you get

An instant nutrition breakdown or dietary answer sent back to the client on WhatsApp.

What you need

A WhatsApp Business account and a Google Gemini API key.

We can build this. But should you?

The hard question is not how to build it. It is whether this is the right thing to build first.

That is what a Fractional Chief AI Officer figures out with you, before anyone writes a line of code.
