Lafai
Beyond Prompt Engineering: Is your food right for you?
π· Scan or upload any food (label, plate, drinks, any) and pick a built-in prompt such as General Ingredient, Youth & Student, Unlabelled Food or Additive Deep Dive. In seconds, get a detailed AI analysis: what's in it, whether it's good or bad for you specifically and why, and what to pair it with for a balanced meal. βοΈCreate any custom prompts like vegan check, weight control, baby food, gym focus, π€ tailored to your lifestyle, π with zero personal data, all powered by Google Gemini.
I'm Adrian, the maker of Lafai, and I want to tell you why I built this.
After 30 years in software engineering and as an amateur runner, I am passionate about nutrition. I'm convinced that, as Linus Pauling once said, "Optimum nutrition is the medicine of tomorrow". I always thought I knew what I ate and how to avoid unhealthy products. Until one day, when I scanned a "perfectly fine" boxed meal and asked AI (Gemini) if it was healthy. It was not. I continued scanning and that's how I discovered that many products I'd been buying didn't match my lifestyle at all.
Through testing different AI prompts and lifestyle profiles, I noticed something amazing: the AI didn't just tell me a food had too much sodium, it taught me what excess sodium, sugar, or refined flour actually means for my health. The label told me the what. AI told me the so what!
But working with AI, I knew that getting these tailored answers required carefully crafted prompts, and typing them manually every time was too tedious. So I built Lafai, packing expert built-in prompts into a seamless camera app that requires zero typing. When friends and family started using it and having the exact same surprise, I realised this needed to be a real product. [Read the full origin story on our website.]
One funny thing: my student son complained that the 'General Ingredient Check' was too strict for him, like any young people wanting a relaxed lifestyle. That's how the 'Youth & Student Realistic Check' prompt was born. π
