“Calai is an app where you can track your calories just by taking a picture of your food. So it's the easiest way if you're trying to lose or gain weight.”
“I think it definitely is only possible now because of the breakthroughs with AI. However, that's mainly because of APIs like ChatGPT. We did not train our own model to do this.”
“Today, in the next twelve months, we're looking to generate over 35,000,000. That's just based on our annual run rate.”
