Build Cal AI
KINDAreplaces $9.99/mosaves $119.88/yrback to the verdict
Before step 1
you will need
- An API key for a multimodal model that accepts images
- Node 20 and a machine or cheap VPS to run it
- A phone browser, added to home screen, for the camera flow
- Acceptance that portion estimates will be wrong by 20 percent sometimes
Delivery order
Scaffold the smallest runnable application and document its commands.
done whenThe project starts from a documented command in a clean checkout.
Implement the primary data model and core workflow.
done whenThe main object can be created, read and changed end to end.
Add validation, safe failure states, and persistence.
done whenBad input is refused with a readable message and nothing is left corrupted.
Cover the critical path with automated tests.
done whenThe highest-risk behavior fails the suite when it breaks.
Exercise a clean install from the README and fix every missing step.
done whenA fresh clone reaches the first successful workflow using only the README.
That is the whole plan for Cal AI. What it deliberately does not cover is below · check the gaps before you call it a replacement.
- A native app with widgets, notifications and instant cold start
- Barcode scanning against a maintained packaged-food database
- HealthKit / Google Fit / Apple Watch sync
- Streaks, coaching copy and the habit scaffolding that makes tracking stick
- Whatever portion-size calibration they have learned from millions of corrected logs
