## What is Verdant?

Verdant is the AI-native nutrition and wellbeing coach for iPhone.

Talk to it. Verdant logs what you eat from voice, photo, barcode, or a quick line of text. Powered by xAI's Grok and Apple Intelligence on-device, it parses your meals in seconds, tracks 27 macros and micronutrients, and learns your favourite foods so future logs are instant.

WHAT MAKES VERDANT DIFFERENT

• AI-first logging — voice ("two eggs and toast"), photo, barcode, or natural text. No more tapping through huge food databases.
• Ask Verdant — "How's my protein today?", "What should I have for dinner?" Get warm, specific answers using your actual data.
• Smart meal plans — Grok-built 7-day plans tuned to your goal, fridge contents, dietary preferences, and your week's carbon footprint.
• Workout plans — 7-day training schedules for your goal and equipment. Apple Watch sessions auto-tick the planned slot.
• Recovery-aware coaching — HRV, sleep, and protein patterns flag low-recovery days so you don't push when your body's asking for rest.
• Live nutrient tracking — 27 macros and micronutrients (Vitamin D, B12, iron, magnesium, sodium) with science-backed targets.

MULTILINGUAL AI COACH

Verdant's AI coach speaks four languages: English, Spanish (Español), French (Français), and German (Deutsch). Set automatically from your device language, or pick your preferred language in Settings.

DEEP APPLE INTEGRATION

• HealthKit read/write — steps, heart rate, sleep, HRV, calories, body metrics, workouts
• Apple Watch complications + Live Activities for fasting
• Lock Screen widgets for today's macros
• Siri Shortcuts — "Hey Siri, log a meal in Verdant"
• Apple Intelligence on-device fallback when offline or when you'd rather keep data private
• Optional iCloud sync across iPhone, iPad, and Mac

REGIONAL NUTRITION GUIDANCE

Verdant adapts to your region. New Zealand users get Ministry of Health protein targets, NZ supermarket integration, and southern-hemisphere seasonal produce. US users get USDA Dietary Guidelines, US food database via USDA FoodData Central, and northern-hemisphere seasonal produce.

PRIVACY-FIRST

Your data lives on your phone. Optional iCloud sync uses your private iCloud database — Verdant has no server collecting your meals. AI requests go through a privacy proxy with xAI's zero-retention header, so your data is never used for training.
