Over 100 million tourists travel internationally each year. Ordering food is a universal challenge with significant cultural differences. Current apps just take a photo and give you awkward translations, leaving you pointing at menus. Hidden problems that remain unsolved: • Menu in English doesn't tell you how the dish is prepared • Many menus lack photos, especially for local specialties • Photos without descriptions are still confusing • Which dishes suit your taste or avoid allergens? • How much to order? Just pointing "this, this"? AIDishes' complete solution: • Snap a photo - instantly transforms into a familiar ordering interface like delivery apps • Auto-generates dish descriptions and images - what you see is what you get • Don't know what to order? Let AI help - suggests specialty sets or personalized choices • Ready to order? Generates text and audio for the waiter to see or hear • Waiter says the fish is still at port? Press and talk - instant two-way translation This is your complete dining solution! End User License Agreement (EULA): https://www.apple.com/legal/internet-services/itunes/dev/stdeula/
