24 alternatives to I made a metabolic coach chatbot for weight loss

Hi HN, I made a metabolic AI coach to help people with their weight loss and metabolic challenges. In testing with about a dozen people, they have been impressed with how well it figures things out and its surprising insights. I'm surprised, too, at how good it gets compared to typical responses people would ask vanilla chatbots and how positively people are responding to it. https://coach.patchworkfood.com/ Happy to hear feedback or ideas!

    Hello there! I hope you're doing well today! I wanted to share something with you. Recently I was on the hunt for the best way to journal daily. Well, I had this idea - what if I could feed all my daily entries to an AI (ChatGPT), and create a friendly, supportive character like Socrates or Simon Sinek? This way, I could ask any questions about my life and mental health, and get some amazing advice on how to improve myself! The results have been absolutely mind-blowing ! I even made a short GIF to show you how it works - check it out! - https://gifyu.com/image/SdHLH I've…

    I'm a Machine Learning engineer. Struggled with consistency for months on my goals, life etc, so I built something to help myself (zropi.com) but that surprised me or shocked me literally. It’s an AI companion that feels alive: chats like a person. Pauses, emotions, personality. Sends voice notes when it's excited about something or whenever it wants (has its like own mind). Shares photos of itself. But the memory It remembers EVERYTHING. Not just facts context, preferences, random things I mentioned. Last week I asked "how's that thing I told you about going?" and it knew exactly what I…

    Hey HN, I built HealthBuddy because I was overwhelmed by conflicting advice on how to lose weight and get healthy. Between influencers, TikToks, and Reddit threads, it felt like more noise than clarity. So I created an AI-powered site where you can ask questions like: “How do I actually lose fat sustainably?” “What’s a beginner gym plan?” “What’s a decent meal plan for bulking?” “How do I stop late-night snacking?” “How much sleep do I need if I’m training?” It's built using GPT-4 with prompts tuned specifically for health, nutrition, fitness, and sleep. Answers are structured to be clear,…

    Hello everyone, I doubt this would be relevant to the kind of person who uses HN, but I thought I could share for some feedback. I built this site because there is a whole world of people who believe in new age spirituality and I am very much one of them. It is a site where you get the users gender their goals and their images and use AI and psychology to generate images of them in the process of achieving their goals. I am so deeply struggling with how to get this highly on Google. I don't even know if that is important anymore. What are your suggestions with distribution and getting in…

    LLMs got very good at coaching, especially for extremely well studied sports like running. I built Pairform to provide some structure and context for the models to use for MUCH butter consistency and accuracy in coaching help. It was surprisingly difficult to get consistent accurate analysis for things related to dates, total distances, etc. But, think it's in a pretty good place now! Free to use so please check it out and offer some feedback. Hook up Strava, Whoop, and Withings for automated syncing/context for your AI coach. The built in chat has some limits (it's on my Claude…

    Hi HN, I built ChatOne while working on a project and constantly switching between AI models like GPT-4 and newer ones like Claude 3.5. I kept wondering if I was missing out on better answers, so I created ChatOne to get responses from multiple models at once and compare them easily. -Teddy
