Snap, a nutrition tracking feature that can analyze photos of food and quickly identify nutritional content, has also undergone an update. The latest version is 40 per cent more accurate, capable of identifying over one million types of food with over 90 per cent accuracy. These new features will soon be available for both Android and iOS devices.
The company claims that its food detection algorithm surpasses some general-purpose generative AI models like ChatGPT 4 and Google Bard. According to Healthify, this achievement is attributed to fine-tuning the large language models (LLMs) using extensive data and context generated on the platform.
Healthify has also partnered with Swiggy, enabling users to conveniently order food recommended by Ria with a simple tap starting December 15 in select markets like Bengaluru. In the future, users will also be able to order groceries required to prepare various diet meals suggested by the health coach.
