Hey Raj, this looks super interesting yet useful. The UI is also very clean and modern, I will definitely use it myself and recommend to my friends as well.

Good, as there are some successful AI food logger like Bellybook, it would be easier for you to get the PMF. Their main market is China so you won’t compete directly.
@mobileraj Congratulations on your launch! I tried it out today and was surprised that it also worked when I took a picture of the nutrition label on a couple things. It scanned the calorie reading right off the label! Healthkit integration and protein estimates would be a couple great features I'd love to see in the future. Thanks for sharing this with us!
@blitlabs Thx for the feedback. Healthkit integration is coming soon. Torn on showing macros like protein, I'm trying to de-emphasize the numbers and emphasize the habit but I am still thinking about it. We have the data, just not displaying it.

Hi @mobileraj, congratulations on the launch! 🚀 I love how simple and streamlined the app experience feels. I’m curious about your decision to use Google Gemini Flash—did you explore other models as well? What led you to choose Gemini?
@sylvain_zircher Well, there are only a finite number of multi-modal models to choose from. We did start with GTP-4o-mini and that worked fine. We ultimately chose Gemini Flash b/c it's about 1/2 the cost in terms of tokens for processing images and b/c we're making this app free, cost vs ads to keep the app at break-even is important. GPT-4o-mini might have been negligibly better but it was hard to tell with my daily food logging.
Hey Raj,
Do you have any plans to improve the accuracy of the AI for specific types of foods, like home-cooked meals or exotic cuisines?
Congrats on the launch!
@kyrylosilin So we use an AI model called Gemini Flash which is from Google. If you're not familiar, you can think of it like ChatGPT. I have generally found that as long as the photo is at a good angle and the food item isn't lathered with hot sauce or other, it does a pretty good job providing a calorie range. You can always add a text hint and this may improve the result. The models themselves are continuing to improve so we should assume that over the coming months, the accuracy will only get better.
Omg, @wudmc this is product of your dream. You should try!

Congrats on the launch!
I just tried it, and I love how easy it is to get started!
Quick question: are you planning to add more information beyond calories? I’d love to see an estimation of the nutritional intake, maybe with a weekly report, and even recommendations for the following week!
Either way, congrats again and thank you for making it free!
@morgane_prr So my experience has been, the minute you want macros like protein, fat and more, you probably want precision and so for that, I suggest things like MyFitnessPal where you have to type in specifically what you're eating with serving sizes and more. With GPT Food Cam, I wanted it to be super simple and I didn't want a ton of focus on the calorie number (it's a range). In my opinion, it's really about creating the behavior of food logging. In some ways, I'm trying to make something for the 95% that find using MyFitnessPal or other to be too tedious. With this audience, if they just simply use GPT Food Cam as their diary, everybody wins.
So full circle, although the AI has details like macros, we're not currently planning to expose it but we may revisit that in the future.
