The problem it solves

Tracking what you eat usually means typing every meal into an app, guessing at portion sizes, and giving up after a few days because it's tedious. You want the tracking without the manual data entry.

Who it fits

Anyone tracking nutrition for fitness, meal prep, or general health, without wanting to use a food-logging app.

How it works

  1. You send a photo of your meal to a Telegram bot
  2. The photo is saved to Google Drive with a timestamp
  3. AI reviews the image and estimates calories, protein, carbs, and fats
  4. The nutrition data is logged as a new row in Google Sheets
  5. You get an instant Telegram reply with the full nutrition breakdown
What you get

Meals logged without opening an app

You get your meals logged automatically with calories and macros calculated the moment you send a photo.

What you get

A logged nutrition entry in Google Sheets, a saved photo, and an instant breakdown message.

What you need

A Telegram bot, a Google Gemini account, and a Google account for Sheets and Drive.

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.
