About Coach Ivy
Coach Ivy is a kawaii-themed artificial intelligence (AI) calorie tracking application for the iPhone, designed to make meal logging enjoyable and quick. With the application, users can snap photos of their meals and receive instant information about the calories and macro-nutrients. It is also equipped with a built-in assisting system to guide healthier eating habits. Functionality extends to features like tracking water intake, setting personal dietary goals, accessing healthy recipes, and receiving daily motivation. The application also uses gentle reminders and streaking system for motivation, promoting a stickier habit of regular use. One standout feature is its in-app AI coach that interacts gently and in a friendly manner, offering recommendations, celebrating small wins, ensuring a non-clinical feel. The AI also recognizes and evaluates food from pictures, eliminating the need for manual logging and searching through databases. Goal-setting in the app is flexible, with options to suit different lifestyle needs, such as losing weight, maintaining weight, or starting gym workouts. The app is intended for different types of users, including busy students, gym beginners, habit builders, and those interested in 'kawaii' themes. While free to download and use, there are in-app purchases available for additional features.
