Show HN: I made a metabolic coach chatbot for weight loss

5•mac-mc•1d ago
Hi HN,

I made a metabolic AI coach to help people with their weight loss and metabolic challenges. In testing with about a dozen people, they have been impressed with how well it figures things out and its surprising insights.

I'm surprised, too, at how good it gets compared to typical responses people would ask vanilla chatbots and how positively people are responding to it.

Happy to hear feedback or ideas!

This is great. It’s given me loads of information back based on just a few questions.

I like how it can explain why it has come to the reasons it gives as well.

For my case it insisted to getting crazy 48kcal/kg of LEA. However I stated specifically I'm not a sportsman and don't strife to be.
