You can now test drive the MacroFactor AI and log your foods simply by snapping a photo.
MacroFactor AI is currently in Open Beta and will remain in Beta while we improve its accuracy and refine related workflows. Once the Beta release is fully rolled out, we will make a separate announcement with details about the new features, pro tips, and practical examples.
Our near-term goal is that MacroFactor AI will:
- Save veteran users time by automating the bulk search process for complex dishes.
- Perform better than an untrained human, removing barriers to entry for those who are new to food logging.
- Bridge the experiential gap for those who live in regions where food and/or branded product data is not as readily available.
- Prioritize high-quality, micronutrient-rich entries to give you a more complete picture of your nutrition.
Our long term goal is that MacroFactor AI will be an ecosystem of utilities that will nearly eliminate food logging effort for even the most experienced MFer, without compromising on results, transparency, or end-user control.
Key areas of focus:
- MacroFactor AI does not blindly rely on LLMs to generate food entries. We prioritize real, lab-analyzed results with complete nutrition data. MacroFactor AI will only generate a food entry when it is necessary or otherwise optimal, and its generation will be grounded in real life results.
- MacroFactor AI will do its best to group foods logically, using recipes and single foods, instead of giving you a single opaque result.
- Because we build each result from individual food entries, our output is inspectable.
- The plate is a fully featured interface for interacting with the AI result. AI is not perfect and can make mistakes, and we give you the control to edit and modify its results.
How it works:
- From the food logger, select the AI tab.
- Snap a photo and optionally add a meal description.
- MacroFactor AI will search our database and populate your Plate with the results.
- Inspect and manually adjust ingredient quantities before logging.
Beyond photo logging: This feature is a first step towards a smarter, AI-powered MacroFactor. We have an exciting AI roadmap ahead!
