AI calorie scanning — how Andy reads your plate

Point your phone at the plate and take a photo. Overhead shots work best because Andy can see all the components, but angled shots work too. Try to include the full plate in frame — cropped photos miss items and undercount calories.

Andy handles common Bali meals well: nasi goreng, smoothie bowls, grilled seafood, nasi campur, bakso, and Western dishes. Multi-component plates (a main, a side, a drink) are identified individually.

Send the photo in your WhatsApp or Telegram chat with Andy. You can add a text caption for context — '2 eggs, not 3' or 'small portion' — but it is optional. Andy processes the image using Claude Sonnet's vision model, identifies each food item, and estimates portion sizes.

Processing takes two to four seconds. Larger images or complex plates with many components may take slightly longer.

Andy replies with a structured breakdown: each identified item, its estimated weight, calories, protein, carbs, fat, and fibre. The total is summed at the bottom. A typical response looks like:

• Nasi goreng (250g) — 420 kcal, 12g protein, 58g carbs, 16g fat

• Fried egg (50g) — 90 kcal, 6g protein, 1g carbs, 7g fat

• Kerupuk (15g) — 75 kcal, 1g protein, 9g carbs, 4g fat

• Total: 585 kcal, 19g protein, 68g carbs, 27g fat

If something looks wrong — Andy miscounted eggs, or missed a side — reply with a correction. 'Actually that was brown rice, not white' or 'add a small juice'. Andy re-calculates and updates the diary entry.

Every scan is automatically logged in your AGNT food diary with a timestamp. You do not need to manually save anything. The diary accumulates all meals for the day — breakfast, lunch, dinner, snacks — into a running total.

To check your diary at any point, message Andy: 'what have I eaten today' or 'show my food diary'. Andy responds with each logged meal, the per-meal totals, and the running daily total.

At the end of each day (9pm local time), Andy sends an optional daily summary if you have logged at least two meals. The summary includes total calories, macro split as percentages, and a comparison to your goal if you have set one.

To set a calorie goal, tell Andy: 'my daily target is 2000 calories' or 'I want to eat around 1800 kcal'. Andy stores this in your structural memory and references it in every daily summary going forward.

The diary data is private to your agent. It is not shared with venues, other users, or any third party. You can ask Andy to delete any entry or clear the full diary at any time.
