The problem it solves

Logging meals by hand into a calorie tracker is tedious enough that most people quit within a week. Estimating portion sizes and looking up nutrition info for every meal takes more effort than most people are willing to give.

Who it fits

Anyone tracking their diet, plus fitness coaches or wellness apps that want a hands-free food logging option for clients.

How it works

  1. You text a photo of your meal to the connected chat number
  2. The system checks the message for an image attachment
  3. AI identifies the food, estimates portions, and calculates calories and macros
  4. It scores the meal for health and confidence
  5. It replies with a friendly nutrition summary and remembers your history for next time
What you get

Meals tracked without typing anything

You get an instant breakdown of calories, macros, and a health score by texting a photo of your meal.

What you get

A conversational nutrition report sent back as a text message, with your history saved for future context.

What you need

A messaging account for photo texts, an OpenAI account, and a Postgres database.

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.
