I made one for myself (and my son, both type 1 diabetics) and decided that I might roll it into a possible possible product: https://carbcount.ai
Allows diabetics to easily get carb estimates for their meals by just snapping a picture. Free for now, would love some feedback.
I built the basic idea in like 2 days using Google Antigravity. It's all serverless on Google cloud run and uses Google for auth, doesn't store any data. MVP while I am working on the marketing and testing.
I used a similar concept I originally used to train my son (9yo) to be better at counting his carbs with a custom GPT. But that idea didn't work for others to use. Most people don't know what a 'custom GPT' is, so explaining it was difficult. Web-apps everyone gets, it has PWA support so you can save it as an 'app' on your phone.
I am a software engineer so it's already in my wheelhouse and it just costs me the tokens right now so it's cheap to run.
Would love feedback or questions if anyone wants to know more.
here is a basic youtube short of it in action: https://youtube.com/shorts/Kb9NQIbZCP8
