An agent that reads food labels, logs meals and sends reminders

Given a label photo and the amount eaten, Grok Bot extracts the numbers, adds them to a food log, and provides reminders throughout the day.

Grok Bot

How it works

  1. The author built a food-tracking app with Grok Bot and added a bot called 'Diet Tracker' as a coach.
  2. After receiving a food-label photo and portion amount, the bot reads the label, calculates or asks follow-up questions if numbers are blurred, and records the entry.
  3. According to the author, it proactively sends reminders throughout the day, such as maintaining a fast until noon, resisting snacks, and finishing meals at 8 p.m.

Results

The author said there was no longer a need to enter calories manually or search food databases. When the author tried to eat more mortadella, the bot reportedly warned that the salt limit had been exceeded.

Notes

No specific figures such as weight changes were disclosed. The post does not explain how the app was built.

Example prompt · Grok Bot

Build a food-tracking bot that logs nutrition from food-label photos and amounts eaten, and helps follow the dietary rules I set throughout the day.

Inputs: daily targets [e.g., calories, salt, protein], eating-time rules [e.g., noon to 8 p.m.], recording destination [e.g., spreadsheet, app], and reminder time windows [times]. First demonstrate whether calories and nutrients can be read from two or three sample label photos.

Implementation: 1) Read serving size and nutrients from each label photo, then calculate values for the amount I specify. 2) Do not guess blurred or cropped numbers; ask me. 3) Record only numbers I confirm. 4) Compare daily totals with the targets and alert me immediately if a target is exceeded. 5) Send short reminders at set times according to the eating-time rules, with no more than [number] reminders per day.

Deliverables: the logging table, daily summary format, and reminder schedule. Start with a one-day trial so I can check calculations against the labels, and allow reminders to be reduced if they are too frequent. For questions requiring medical advice, recommend consulting a qualified professional.
