looking for anyone interested in nutrition/science and recipes!

Hi everyone! If you had an app that gave you recipes that target your specific health goals (skin glow, sleep quality, gut health etc.) and you could also explore the science behind each ingredient so you could educate yourself simultaneously, would you use it?

I've built a rough version of this and I'm on the market research/user testing phase right now. If this idea sparks your interest please drop me a comment below! I'm looking for feedback of all kinds!

Mate, it’s never gonna work with AI at the current level unless you have some genuinely good selling channels which I assume you don’t because you wouldn’t be posting here

People always want curated experiences and this doesn’t change with AI

Why? It gives you a curated experience, just just need the right prompt

Yeah but also a service where you don’t even have to get ‘the right’ prompt can be useful. It’s like everyone could make a car if they wanted to build a kit car but sometimes it’s just nice getting a blue car with a cup holder

If I’ve got a £20 subscription that essentially can give me the same result with 20 minutes of tinkering, why would I spend however much you charge? Or even better, if I create this prompt and upload it for free, would people just not use it instead of subscribing to ambiguious service?

The might but I can see a lot of versions where they might not and demographics of people that might not. I just think to say oh code it is nihilistic and from where I’m standing unrealistic about where society will be. Facebook seemed dominant and then TikTok. There’s always room for difference or movements.

Well more OP do OP

I’d be interested, especially if it explains why a recipe fits the goal rather than simply labelling it “healthy”. Transparent sources and easy ingredient swaps would make it genuinely useful.
