- supportengineer 2y agoVery cool, it works great!
- Cranot 2y agoIts a very early version, glad you enjoyed!
- rozap 2y agoCongrats, and it seems to work well. It gives similar ratings to the ratings my grocery store has on the product. What's the rationale behind the ratings it gives to different categories? Some are obvious, like "Sugar is bad", but other things are less clear, like Graham Flour is rated as a "good" ingredient - why is that? I know citation of sources is hard with AI but it's pretty useful here. Also, I know this is a hard thing to solve (AI or not...) since opinion on an ingredient being good or bad shifts like the wind and with how much money is pushing it. I remember when coffee was good, then it caused cancer, then heart attacks, but now I think it is good again, or at least it only causes cancer to Californians, or something?

- higgins 2y agoWhat happens after 24 hours?
- Cranot 2y agoActually nothing there always be daily free scans, maybe with a limit.
- thecatwentup 2y agoCongrats! The product looks very promising and I know people who would use this all the time. One feedback I have is to pre-load a demo label so that we can see it inaction without having to find a label.
- Cranot 2y agoThank you very much! Actually before i launch it i had it with 2 demos, but i thought people could abuse it and dry out my credits. I will built a cache system and re-implement it.
- flaburgan 2y agoHow is it different from OpenFoodFacts?
- throwaway87483 2y agoOr the USDA food database that American taxpayers have so graciously given us? https://fdc.nal.usda.gov/ https://fdc.nal.usda.gov/
- add-sub-mul-div 2y agoI think the only differentiation is that it happens to be this particular person's attempt to cash in on the AI slop era as opposed to someone else's.
- teolemon 2y agoHello, Pierre co-founder of the Open Food Facts NGO. We have a multi-year AI effort you can help with. https://wiki.openfoodfacts.org/Artificial_Intelligence https://wiki.openfoodfacts.org/Artificial_Intelligence We have weekly community meetings, compute to get things rolling, and a swell/quick from Test to Production and Impact loop :-)
- senectus1 2y agothiss owuld be an excellent candidate for combining with the Monash university's FODMAP app https://monashfodmap.com/ibs-central/i-have-ibs/get-the-app/ https://monashfodmap.com/ibs-central/i-have-ibs/get-the-app/ trying to find foods that dont trigger IBS etc is such hard work..
- pkaye 2y agoOne thing I found was if you give a image of a nutrition label to ChatGPT, it could extract all the nutrition information into a text format like JSON. I was thinking of using that to automate my daily nutrition tracking I do for health reasons.
