Hi Product Hunt 👋 Excited to share GPT Food Cam, a hobby project stemming from my experience working with a food coach where I would text a picture of each meal and we'd discuss async. After I wrapped-up with my food coach, I sought a replacement and I tried popular apps like MyFitnessPal and LoseIt! but I found them to all be too cumbersome. You have to select the meal, enter the items, choose the serving sizes and more. No wonder most users churn from these apps after a few weeks -- it's simply too much work and they are expensive! Welcome GPT Food Cam: 1. I wanted the experience to be super simple and fast. GPT Food Cam may be the only app in the category that opens straight to the camera. Simply take a pic, post it, see your AI calorie estimate, and you're done! 2. AI estimation isn't perfect, so GPT Food Cam displays a calorie range and this works a lot better. It's still not perfect but the AI will improve and more importantly, the app is so simple, we hope it encourages a behavior of food logging to make you a more mindful eater. 3. It's totally free, like seriously, actually free without any spam or upsells or anything else and as far as we know, it's the only AI calorie counter in the App Store that is free! We are able to do this by inserting an occasional ad in the food photo feed to cover the cost of the AI calorie lookup. I know this product doesn't have all the bells and whistles of some of the paid apps but it's simple, it works and it's free. Very much looking forward to your feedback and I hope you have as much fun using GPT Food Cam as we do. Cheers to a more healthy lifestyle!

Hey @mobileraj thats look amazing and can simplify the way how people track their calories 💪🏻 It says "will estimate the calories". How accurate is the calculation? What is the average deviation? Congratulations on the launch 🚀.

@crebuh We use an AI model to estimate the calories similar to a ChatGPT. It's not perfect by any means but it continues to get better. To help address some of the inaccuracy, we display the calorie results as a range vs a specific number. Unfortunately, I don't have an average standard deviation. Sometimes it's wildly accurate and sometimes it's pretty off. I have found in these instances, adding a hint text can make a big difference. The biggest issue which I think is hard for the AI to discern is the portion size. I photographed a full pizza the other day but it can't readily tell if that's a small or a XL pizza and so you end-up with a number close to a medium unless you add a hint. Fortunately though, as mentioned earlier, the AI is getting better so we should assume that the calorie range estimate will only improve over the coming months.

Oh cool! Those apps are so annoying to use. I recall many years ago there were a few apps that tried to do this but of course ML is a lot better now. For about 6 months once I took a picture of everything I ate - that by itself (even without analysis) was helpful to make more intentional eating decisions.

Neat to see some positive coverage of GPT Food Cam today, really happy if we can help make healthier lives (and for free!) https://thespoon.tech/ive-seen-t...

Very good! If you could add a recipe recommendation feature or a community function, I think it would help more people with similar eating habits.

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.
