Are you eating the same types of food everyday? There is a a huge variety of food out there. What you need is an app can recommend you different food, by looking at what you have been eating. An app? Yes, there's an app for that. "Next Meal" is THE app for that! Just add a few photos of your common meals to Next Meal's gallery. Next Meal will analyze those photos using AI, and recommend to you meals that add more variety to your current diet. Keep eating different food and taking pictures, so that it can give you a "variety score". The app also doubles as a record of your meals. Next Meal is completely private. Not a single bit about what you record will be shared with us, or anyone else. It contains no ads and does not track you. Next Meal uses AI technology based on recent research in Meal Image Analysis and Artificial Intelligence. While AI technology is still not good enough to estimate nutrition information of your meals using photos, it is good enough to improve the variety of your meals. We thought of bringing you an app that could do the same. Enjoy!
