✦ Everyday food, smarter insights
The opportunity
Healthy choices begin with understanding.
Logging meals often means searching food databases, guessing portions and manually entering ingredients. Regional dishes and home-cooked meals make that even harder. 1Calo is developing tools to reduce that friction and make everyday nutrition information more accessible.
What we're building
One platform. Better everyday habits.
Our initial MVP focuses on two AI experiences, with additional nutrition tools planned as the product evolves.

Our technology direction
Combining multimodal AI with localized food knowledge.
Our roadmap includes evaluating and integrating Anthropic Claude for visual food interpretation, conversational guidance and structured information extraction. AI-generated estimates will be presented with appropriate limitations rather than as exact measurements.
