MyNetDiary launches first AI-powered food app for personalized nutrition
The nutrition and health platform MyNetDiary unveils PlateAI, a personalized diet and wellness app. The app combines instant AI-powered food logging with real-time nutrition coaching and health tools to support better habits and sustainable results.
MyNetDiary explains that the new app helps users eat better, lose weight, and stay consistent. The app’s AI Coach delivers instant feedback, motivation, and meal guidance tailored to each user’s specific goals.
Consumers can log meals in PlateAI by speaking, taking pictures, or scanning a menu. The app will then instantly estimate nutrition and offer personalized suggestions. It is linked to a database of over 1.9 million foods, including micronutrients and over 100 different micronutrients.
“PlateAI is your complete support system,” says Sergey Oreshko, founder and CEO of MyNetDiary. “We’ve taken the trusted foundation of MyNetDiary and layered in real-time coaching, photo-based and voice logging, and a smarter, more connected experience. It’s everything people need to succeed in one app.”
AI-backed solution
MyNetDiary notes that PlateAI delivers speed and depth compared to other solutions on the market. For example, the company notes that traditional calorie counter apps rely on manual entry and a “do-it-yourself” approach. Meanwhile, basic AI apps offer quick logging but limited features or generic guidance.
PlateAI’s coach provides personalized and actionable support based on a user’s habits, goals, and progress, to unlock consistency for sustainable results.
In addition, the app offers intermittent fasting tools with flexible tracking and support, can be integrated with fitness goals and smartwatches, and has built-in community support where users can ask questions, share meals, and get encouragement.
It also provides daily nutrition feedback, with suggestions to help users adjust in real time, and allows them to build expert-designed programs for weight loss, strength, or balanced eating.
Personalized nutrition advances
As consumers are increasingly aware of personalized nutrition and potential health benefits, the nutrition and tech industries are exploring AI to develop tools and mobile apps that help consumers reach their health goals.
For example, Noom has upgraded its GLP-1 weight management app to accompany these drug therapies. Lifesum offers an AI-powered Multimodal Tracker to analyze meal and calorie intake through photo, voice, text, or barcode scanning. Also, DexCom recently upgraded its over-the-counter glucose biosensor with AI photo logging for smarter diet tracking.
At the same time, the European Institute of Innovation and Technology’s Food Consumer cautions that tools must address consumer concerns over data privacy, effectiveness, and costs to succeed, as these limit the use of available tools.
Experts also underscore the importance of ethical frameworks in the AI revolution; without them, the technology risks deepening health inequalities and cultural gaps.
To illustrate, researchers warned that non-Western diets may be harder to track using AI-powered health apps, highlighting that image recognition apps struggle to identify individual food components of Asian mixed dishes.
