Lolo is an easy food tracker. Just tell Lolo what you eat in plain text or voice and it will track your food and keep your calories in check. No more complicated drop-down lists and food databases.
This product has been a dream of mine for many years.
Someone wise once said, “We are what we eat,” and although it’s a bit of a stretch, I always wondered who we are considering the food environment today.
Food is everywhere, and living a casual city life, it’s hard to find yourself more than a hundred steps from a food source. The last time, I was surprised to find a food shelf in a bookstore. (I thought it was about “food for the soul”)
An even bigger problem is the contents of that food. It raises a lot of questions about the worst traits of capitalism and human exploitation.
So, I believe it’s always good to push back on this and make tools that facilitate mindful eating or help us get and stay in shape.
I tried many food trackers over the years, but was never satisfied - it’s just too much hassle. All these interfaces, lists, lists, lists. It takes hours to keep your food diary.
I imagined a good one, where you can just type what you eat, without any effort, but it just wasn’t possible. There was no such tech to make it. Until GPT-4 came on stage.
When I tested it, I was like, “Wow. We can really do it now!”
So, first, we bootstrapped a simple telegram bot and gave it to ten friends.
Many seemed to like it, so we invested in developing it further and finally released it as an iOS app.
So, this is the story of Lolo.
We would be happy to hear what you think and gather any feedback.

Thank you!
@mihail_kulyasov Congrats!
I really like the option of audio messages!! This app feels like a tamagotchi 🤡🤡
I work with a nutrition specialist, we analyze the statistics over some time. Is there expected sth like a weekly review? Could be handy.
@mihail_kulyasov I've been wanting to make the same kind of thing! I made a Coda doc with a couple of GPT-3 columns a while back and used it to track calories for a few weeks. But sadly without a nutritional info database, the calorie estimates were sometimes wildly inaccurate.
How does Lolo work? Do you use GPT-4 to *find* the most relevant food in food database (which one?)?
@anna_0x Hi, Anna! I think you were too early. I find GPT-4 estimates quite relevant and much better than GPT-3. Will be happy to tell you more about the product, feel free to get in touch on twitter https://twitter.com/MKuliasov or telegram: @mikky_a
Congratulations on the launch of Lolo! It sounds like a fantastic and user-friendly food tracker that simplifies the process of keeping calories in check. The plain text and voice input feature is a game-changer, eliminating the hassle of navigating through complicated drop-down lists and food databases. Wishing you great success and continued innovation with Lolo! 🎉🚀
