Amplifx uses AI to score your meals and help you build habits that keep your energy stable all day long. This isn't calorie counting. Amplifx doesn't ask you to log every gram or hit a daily number. It looks at how your food actually affects your energy, focus, and blood sugar stability, so you can eat smarter without the tedium of tracking. Scan any meal — by photo or text description — and get an instant Energy Score from 0 to 100, showing how your food choices affect your blood sugar, focus, and energy throughout the day. UNDERSTAND YOUR ENERGY Every meal gets a score based on its impact on your glucose stability. Green Zone (70–100) means steady energy. Yellow Zone (40–69) means some fluctuation. Red Zone (0–39) means high swings and likely energy dips. Higher is always better. GET PERSONALIZED RECOMMENDATIONS Each scan comes with AI-powered ingredient recommendations ranked by impact — showing exactly what to add or swap to boost your score. Add recommendations to your grocery list with one tap. TRACK YOUR PROGRESS Build daily streaks, track your hydration, and review your Daily Summary each evening for a recap of what went well, what to watch, and tips for tomorrow. KEY FEATURES - AI meal scoring by photo or text description - Personalized ingredient recommendations ranked by impact - Daily energy score tracking and trends - Hydration tracking with customizable goals (oz or mL) - Smart grocery list with AI-suggested ingredients - Daily summary with actionable tips - Streak tracking to build consistent habits - Save and quick-log favorite meals Amplifx is for informational purposes only and is not medical advice.
