Instantly understand what’s in your food. Simply send a product label via WhatsApp and get quick, clear nutrition insights to help you shop smarter and eat healthier.
👋 Hey everyone! I'm super excited (and a little nervous!) to launch Wellbot today.
I'm a product designer who’s always cared about eating healthier, but I hated downloading bloated apps just to scan a yogurt label at the store 😅
So I built Wellbot, a simple AI-powered nutrition assistant that lives inside WhatsApp.
Just send a product photo, and it gives you a Health Score, highlights good ingredients ✅, flags the sketchy ones 🚩, and helps you shop smarter, no extra app needed.
I built this in about a month using a mix of AI tools, lots of prompt-tuning, and a lightweight Framer landing page. It's free to try, and I'd absolutely love your feedback 🙌
Thanks so much for checking it out!
P.S. I’m hanging around all day if you have questions or ideas. Would love to chat!
In this state of the app, yes it identifies allergens, but not every time
(now its working like this)
An update is already in progress, where you can set up your allergies or intolerances in the first message. Every time you scann something will display an allert, if the product contains te ingredient you are allergic to.
I will keep in mind te option for Vegans, sounds cool!
@balint_horvath2 Haha, that PH Queen title was a parody thing :D
I think it is solid, showcasing the list of allergens. I have in my mind my auntie who cannot eat things with lactose, he is also on a gluten-free diet and has diabetes, so her options are practically very limited.
Congrats on the launch! 🎉 Just tried Wellbot and love how simple it makes checking nutrition facts - no more squinting at tiny labels! 😅 One suggestion though: would be amazing if it could read non-English labels too, it would be a big help especially for travelers. Still, such a handy tool for everyday health-conscious shopping. Great job team! 👏
In current version it supports multiple languages, when it responds with:
It's an image quality problem, not a language, maybe the image was not clear, or blurry. I tested multiple languages, RO,HU,EN,DE,HR,PL and others. I will try my best to introduce other languages, really good idea for travellers. Thank you!
This is such a smart and elegant solution, @balint_horvath2! Using WhatsApp as the delivery channel is brilliant, especially considering how bloated most nutrition apps have become and how over a billion people use WhatsApp! I’m curious on two fronts:
From a data privacy angle, are the product photos processed locally or on a third-party server? Just thinking about user comfort with sharing packaging details that might be location- or culturally specific.
And from a content guidance POV — are you planning to expand the feedback beyond scores (e.g., simple tips, swap suggestions, or explainers around sketchy ingredients)? I have worked with consumer tools before, and I have seen how those micro-educational nudges often build long-term user trust.
Very cool — I gave it a try and really liked it! As a developer and a parent, I built something similar 15 days ago just to explore AI. it scans food labels and gives feedback and tips to help kids and parents avoid unhealthy options: https://nutrifyiq.vercel.app/.
One suggestion: if the scanned food isn’t healthy, it’d be great to also show healthier alternatives that could make it even more valuable!

@balint_horvath2 congrats on the launch. Do you think it will work for products / labels in different languages?
Wellbot
@k_piotr Hello, thank you!
Yes its working in many languages, can detect, and translates to english.
Also if you initiate the conversation in any language, Wellbot will respond in that language, until you specify one.
You can try it 😉
@balint_horvath2 nice launch and neat idea. My nephew has a nut allergy and reading the fine print is crucial. Wellbot helps solve that 🙌
Congratulations on the launch, Balint! Love the fact that this integrates with an app that a lot of people already use.
Also, I enjoyed the creative Q&A section on the landing page!

@davidskr Hi! Thank you
That was the goal, why i would build and bublish another app on the app store, and do the marketing from 0, when everybody is using WhatsApp
minimalist phone: creating folders
Can it identify allergens? (P.S.: It would be pretty cool if there were alerts whether it is for Vegan or not) :)

@busmark_w_nika OMG, the Queen of PH on my post 😮

Hey Balint! It's super cool. Wish you all the best in this impressive launch! Congrats

@german_merlo1 Hey, thank. you! I'm trying my best!
Quick nutrition insights are a must-have! 👍

@balint_horvath2 I'll try again with HD picture. Thanks for your prompt response.

@virajmahajan22 Hi, thank you!
Currently, all photos are processed via third-party servers, but nothing is linked or stored to any account. No account, no tracking.
Maybe! I didn’t want to overcrowd the response or make it too long. But you can always ask follow-up questions and Wellbot will reply.
ex:
@balint_horvath2, ah! That's actually very nice!
