How it works
Three steps, about eight seconds
- 01
Snap it or say it
Photograph your plate, or type “chicken burrito bowl”. Either way you get a full breakdown in seconds — calories, protein, carbs, fat and ten more — broken out ingredient by ingredient rather than lumped into a single number.
Underneath it, the assumptions it made, written out. Assumed oatmeal cooked in water, no added sugar. No guacamole or sour cream included. Those exist so you can see which one is wrong, which is the only way a one-word correction can work.
If a photo is genuinely unreadable, AIM logs a blank entry and says so. It does not guess a meal.
- Works on home-cooked food, which is the case a food database handles worst
- Works on a sentence, for the meals you did not photograph in time
- Works on yesterday — say when, and it goes on that day

Adjust anything on the fly
Got something wrong? Say so. “Actually it was a double.” “No rice.” “Add guac.” AIM revises the meal you were just talking about rather than logging a second one at 12:04 — it replays the recent turns of the conversation and the meals they refer to, which is what makes a follow-up land on the right thing.
You can ask it things too. “How much protein have I got left?” is answered from today's totals, and answering writes nothing to your log — including no helpful corrections to meals you did not ask about.
- “No rice” removes an ingredient and recalculates the meal
- “Add guac” adds one
- “Make that lunch” moves it to a different meal

Edit any number by hand
When a sentence is more trouble than it is worth, just type. Open the entry, tap the number, type over it.
Your value is laid on top of the estimate rather than replacing the meal, so correcting the calories does not discard the ingredient breakdown underneath. The estimate is a starting point; what gets stored is your version of it.
- Corrections stick, including next time you eat the same thing
- Any nutrient can be pinned to the meal card or left behind “more”
- Goals and caps are yours to set, daily or weekly
