Foodtastic
Foodtastic is a nutrition-tracking application designed to make food logging simpler.
Instead of entering every food manually, the visitor describes a meal in natural language. An AI agent analyses the description and automatically extracts the key nutritional information: calories, protein, carbohydrates and fat. Each meal is then stored to provide an ongoing nutritional record.
Why this project?
After using several calorie-tracking applications, I kept running into the same limitation: the time required to enter every meal. That friction makes the habit difficult to maintain over time.
To work around it, I started using an LLM to estimate meals from written descriptions. The experience was much faster and more pleasant, but it lacked one essential feature: data persistence. There was no way to monitor progress or analyse eating habits over time.
Foodtastic answers that need by combining the speed and flexibility of AI with a structured, usable data model.
Beyond its personal use, this Project is also a technical demonstration. It shows how an AI agent can be integrated into a product to:
- simplify a complex task
- improve the visitor experience
