Hey Product Hunt! š
A couple of years ago I was building a small app to help me track what I eat. Nothing fancy ā just something personal to stay on top of my diet.
I needed a food recognition API. Seemed simple enough.
It wasn't.
Everything I found was either way too expensive for a side project, returning wildly inaccurate data, or so poorly documented I gave up after 20 minutes. I just wanted to point a camera at my lunch and get calories back. That's it.
So I built it myself.
Months of experimenting, iterating, and way too many late nights later ā CaloAI was born. Trained on 150,000+ dishes, powered by our own proprietary Vision AI, with mathematically verified outputs so the numbers actually make sense.
I put it on RapidAPI because I figured if I struggled to find this, other developers probably did too.
If you're building a fitness app, a calorie tracker, a smart food diary ā I hope this saves you the months it cost me.
Would love to hear what you're working on š
