I’m Motty Shanu, the founder of Karrot AI.
I built this because I realized that labels like "Sugar-Free," "Organic," or "All Natural" are often just marketing smoke and mirrors. They don't tell the full story. I wanted a tool that could look past the branding and tell me exactly what I was putting into my body.
Karrot is an AI-powered food detective designed to give power back to you, the consumer. We’ve focused on making our AI scanning near-instant and our database incredibly deep when it comes to the things that actually matter: endocrine disruptors, carcinogens, and ultra-processed additives.
What makes Karrot your new grocery essential:
No Calorie Distractions: We focus on biological food quality, not just the math.
Science-Backed Scoring: Transparent 0-100 ratings based on independent health studies, not industry claims.
Instant 'Clean' Swaps: If a product scores "Poor," we immediately suggest a cleaner, safer alternative you can find on the same shelf.
We’re officially live today! I’d love for the PH community to download the app, scan a few items in your pantry, and tell me: Which "healthy" snack surprised you the most?
I’ll be here all day to answer your questions about our scoring algorithm or what’s coming next on our roadmap!

@jerrybyday Thank you, Jeremiah! Location-based purchase suggestions is a fantastic idea and honestly something we have been thinking about too. Knowing where to actually buy a better alternative nearby makes the whole experience so much more actionable. Adding it to our roadmap. Really appreciate the thoughtful feedback!

I am big into being healthy and treating the body well. I have used multiple apps for scanning products and they always seem to be missing something. I'll have to try this! Great job.
