AI Use

Where AI is used and where rules decide.

Clinical constraints are calculated by fixed rules, not by AI: protein per kilogram, energy targets, fibre and fluid ranges, allergy and intolerance exclusions, symptom adaptations and dose-phase behaviour.

AI is used in one place: reading a photo of real food, to name the dishes and estimate portions. Meal wording, swaps, shopping lists and your weekly summaries are produced by the app's own rules.

When you use the food camera, the photo and the meal occasion you selected are sent to our AI provider (Google Gemini, accessed through the Lovable AI Gateway) to produce that estimate. Your name, contact details, medical history and other account data are not sent. The provider processes the request to return a result and does not use it to train its models.

Photos are not stored in your account after the estimate is returned. What is saved is the food you choose to log: the dish names, portions and nutrition figures you accept.

AI output can be wrong or incomplete. Always check it yourself, especially for allergens, intolerances and religious or cultural food rules. The app also checks scanned and typed dishes against the foods you said you avoid and blocks them, but that check works on names and cannot see hidden ingredients.

You can use the whole app without AI: type what you ate instead of photographing it. Corrections you make are stored in your own account to improve your future estimates and are not shared with other users.
