• Smart food logging via image input, description-based estimates, and calorie tracking
• Adaptive check-in system that adjusts based on user preference (from hourly reminders to daily prompts)
• AI-based insight engine to give health advice and suggest daily habits (e.g., caffeine moderation, magnesium intake)
• Gamified progress tracking and encouragement system
• Integration of data from health trackers via manual input, screenshots, or OCR
• Collaborate with founders to iterate based on early user feedback
• Ship and demo the working MVP with clear documentation
