About

I’m Alex, co-founder and CEO of Emma – the direct evolution of our first app, Sugar Free. What began as a simple tool to uncover hidden sugars has grown into something much bigger – an AI that truly understands food. After years of living sugar-free, I saw how toxic additives, hidden chemicals, and misleading labels silently harm people every day – draining energy, aging the body, and damaging long-term health. That’s why we rebuilt Sugar Free into Emma – smarter, broader, and global. Emma reads any label, exposes what’s hidden, explains it in plain language, gives each product a health score, and helps you decide – eat it or avoid it. Because every bite shapes your future – your health, your youth, your life. Don’t wait for your body to remind you – start protecting it now.

From Sugar Free to Emma – our global evolution 🚀

First of all a huge thank you to everyone who supported our new Emma launch on 11.11.

Because of you, we hit Top 3 Product of the Day with our biggest update ever. Your support truly means the world to us.
Many of you also supported our original Sugar Free: Food Scanner last year and helped us reach #4 Product of the Year. You ve been with us from the start and you re the reason this project keeps moving forward.
As some of you know, I ve personally been avoiding added sugar for 8+ years. At some point, I got so obsessed with finding every hidden form of sugar that I ended up infecting my friends with this mission too and together we built a tiny prototype to detect hidden sugars.
That little idea has now grown into something much bigger.
Over the year, the scanner has grown into Emma an AI Nutrition Intelligence that that understands food globally. It reads any labels in any language and finds hidden sugar, E-codes, bad additives, toxins and allergens. It s like ChatGPT, but about food and health.
Unlike typical food apps, Emma doesn t rely on static databases.
If a product exists online anywhere in the world, Emma can:

find it
translate it
rebuild its ingredient list
detect hidden sugars, additives, toxins, allergens
and give a clear, simple verdict: Eat or Avoid
Emma runs on our proprietary AI model, trained on real scientific datasets (FDA, EFSA, WHO, etc). No myths just evidence-based clarity.
What Emma can do:
Scan any food label in any language;
Detect every form of hidden sugar (even behind 200+ names);
Spot harmful additives, E-numbers, INS codes, allergens;
Flag 500+ potential health risks;
Science-based food rating (1 10);
Plain-language Eat or Avoid guidance;
Full ingredient breakdown;
Built-in AI Nutritionist ask anything about food & health.
Even your grandma could use it and she probably should
How it works:

1. Scan a barcode or snap a photo of the label
2. Emma analyzes, translates, and scores the product
3. Ask Emma for recommendations, recipes, or nutrition advice
Just clear, stress-free food choices.
Special for the Product Hunt community:
As a thank-you to everyone here, we re giving 3 months of full access to our first 5,000 PH users this week.
Promo code: PH11EMMA (or tap PH supporter inside the app).
If Sugar Free wasn t available in your country before Emma is now!
We d love for you to try Emma, explore the new features, and share your thoughts.

What questions do you have about A.I. that you're too embarrassed to ask?

Hi all. Sarah here, Head of Content @ Product Hunt. I'm starting up a new article series in our AI newsletter, Deeper Learning, called Ask Kitty. It's a place where you can ask the questions you've been wondering about A.I. but have been too shy to ask. Why? One thing I've learned about A.I. is that a lot of people in tech assume you know a lot of things, and very few people actually know the things (or know them in-depth enough to explain them simply). Sometimes this dynamic prevents us from asking questions. And asking questions is one of the best ways to reduce our knowledge gap. And yes, you could ask ChatGPT, but based on my experience you're unlikely to get the full context you need. Not only will I work to answer your questions, I'll work to find the right people to help me answer them! So ask away!
