The challenge

What needed to be easier.

A food photo is easy to take, but turning it into useful nutritional information requires accurate recognition and an explanation people can understand quickly.

Our approach

How we built it.

We combined a mobile capture flow, computer vision services, and calorie reference data to identify food and present a useful estimate.

Product capabilities

What we brought together.

We only include capabilities that are already public. We do not share client data, private architecture, commercial terms, or internal performance metrics.
