Earlier quoted context omitted.

Is it a cool idea, though, to turn over your health to a system that's both nondeterministic and opaque?

Depends how it’s actually used. Again, without more context on the home page it’s hard tell. There is a chance you can use it in a way where you can feed it vague non identifying info and still get use from it.

Very True, you're not required to provide your personal info to use the software

Very 1st impression: There are currently typos both on the starting page: " nutrutional " and in the title and the body of the post " nutrional ". 2nd impression: I entered a request and got an error message. I guess your server is overloaded.

Thanks for spotting the typo, server got overloaded but its back up now, you can try again

Lately I have been using ChatGPT for my meal planning. There are countless [1] threads on reddit on how to tailor this to your preference. I went through a cut phase with it and it worked out great. I prefer it better than the popular one eatthismuch[2]. [1] https://www.reddit.com/r/ChatGPTPromptGenius/comments/1hnjbm... [2] eatthismuch.com

Thanks for this

I’m interested based on the title but I have no idea how to use it. I think a placeholder prompt or basic instruction would go a long way, otherwise it just looks like a chatGPT clone

A chat interface seems like the wrong approach for something like this. This feels like an guided agent interface, the way we interact with nutrionists or personal trainers. If you need help with these things, a blank page is a bad way to start.

That would be limiting the products potential

Seems like a cool idea at a very high level, but I feel like the homepage needs a lot more context than what it has. How it works, what it does, best way to use it, etc. Also, just a heads up that the chat window is a bit broken on mobile. It has some weird scroll hijacking that breaks chats.

Heyy, thanks alot you can visit https://www.eko-bazaar.com/about to know more or get some inspos on how to use it, and thanks for highlighting the chat window, and scroll bug, would work on fixing that.

The "nutrutional" typo on the main page is only the first of several, so I'm wondering if this is some kind of spoof/joke/prank? And suggesting to us that we "Upgrage plan to enable agent shopping" is just a huge Nope, of course...
