Describe a meal in a sentence
Type what you ate and Intake AI estimates calories, protein, carbs, and fat.
Optional add-on

Describe a meal, take a photo, or scan a label. Intake AI turns it into editable calories and macros so logging is faster when you want the help.
The core app stays a one-time purchase and keeps working without AI.
Intake AI
Fast logging for messy real meals
Intake AI works like a small chat built for food logging. It estimates, explains uncertainty, and lets you correct the result before anything is saved.
Take a meal photo
Use the camera or library for plates, snacks, and restaurant meals.
Scan nutrition labels
Prefill calories and macros from packaged-food labels before reviewing them.
Reply naturally to correct the result
If the estimate is off, tell Intake AI what changed and review the updated suggestion.

Intake AI vs. own API key (BYOK)
Own API key (BYOK) is the basic free AI logging chat with your provider key. Intake AI adds the richer food-logging workflow and is improved continuously.
| Feature | Intake AI | Own API key (BYOK) |
|---|---|---|
| Text chat and meal photos | Describe meals or send photos, then review editable suggestions before logging. | Send text or images to the supported AI provider of your choice with your own API key (BYOK). |
| Recognized ingredient handling | Log the result as one meal, or show ingredients separately and log them separately. | The provider returns a single product or meal item containing the ingredients it recognized. |
| Estimate corrections before logging | Correct estimates in place, choose larger or smaller portions, remove, edit, or add ingredients and amounts, and manually adjust the calories of an estimate before logging. | Basic single-item estimate from your chosen provider. Corrections only work by sending a chat message to the provider. |
| Nutrition-label product creation | Scan a nutrition label while creating a new product and Intake AI fills out the create-product form with values from the photo. | Not available |
| Ongoing feature work | Continuously improved as Intake AI evolves. | Basic AI food logging chat with your own API key (BYOK) and your provider's terms and costs. |
More control before logging
Only Intake AI lets you review recognized ingredients separately, adjust amounts, and correct estimates before saving them.
Review ingredients separately
Switch from one meal to components, review each recognized ingredient, and log them separately.
Correct estimates in place
Edit ingredients, change amounts, pick smaller or larger portions, and adjust calories before logging.
Review before logging
AI results are estimates and can be wrong. Intake AI creates editable suggestions; you decide what gets saved to your diary.
Clear data flow
Intake AI analysis sends food descriptions, photos, captions, and recent chat context through Intake's backend and AI providers to generate nutrition estimates.
