Building the World's Trusted AI Layer for Safe, Sustainable Food Choices.
Application to Google AI Futures Fund.

Consumer Pain Point: Shopping Blind

  • The "Minefield" Experience: For millions with allergies or strict diets, every grocery trip is stressful and time-consuming.
  • Information Overload: Labels are confusing, inconsistent, and often hide critical data in fine print.
  • The Safety Gap: McKinsey confirms that despite 50% of global consumers having preferences, no real-time safety tool exists.
  • High Stakes: One mistake can lead to hospitalization or severe health issues.

The Solution: AI-Driven Food Intelligence

Gemini Vision Input

Scan a barcode, type a name, or snap a photo of a product/dish for instant analysis.

50+ Smart Tags

Deep personalization including Sustainability (Recycled, Non-GMO), Allergens, and Values.

Generative Explanations

Not just "Unsafe" — our Gemini Reasoner explains why a product conflicts with your diet.

Instant Results

10M+ pre-analyzed products mean zero lag. Medical-grade safety checks in milliseconds.

FSG Smart Shop

Auto-curated "Safe Shop" UI showing only products that match your profile. One-click buy via Amazon.

Ubiquitous Access

Seamless intelligence ecosystem via Android App, iOS App, and future Google AR Wearables.

Gemini-Native Experiences

Visual Dish Decoder

Powered by Gemini Vision: Identify allergens in packaged/ unpackaged foods, even where no barcode exists.

Smart Substitutions

Powered by Gemini Reasoning: "This pasta has gluten. Based on your Keto profile, try Zucchini Noodles by QiTo."

The "Why" Engine

Powered by Gemini 1.5 Pro: "This is flagged 'Unsafe' because 'Natural Flavors' here likely contain Soy derivatives."

The "Brain": Pre-Analyzed Intelligence

We don't just read labels; we understand them.

  • Pre-Analyzed Database: Unlike competitors who scan on the fly, our database of 10M+ items is pre-processed by AI for speed & accuracy.
  • Global Ontology: Raw text is mapped to a proprietary ontology of 50,000+ ingredients.
  • Ingestion Pipeline: Gemini 1.5 Flash processes thousands of labels per minute for real-time updates.
  • Reasoning Engine: Gemini 1.5 Pro handles complex cross-referencing of medical/dietary conflicts.
