If you've organized a hackathon (or any large-scale event), I'm sure you know fully well how tedious catering for every single dietary restriction. Maybe you're going out with someone who has Celiac Disease, and you're wondering, what's gluten. Can they eat this?
Step in Aller-Free. We've built out a web-extension and mobile app that lets you take a photo of whatever menu you'd like and see what items they can eat there! Just snap a picture with your phone, or right click, highlight the space you want to select, and you're done.
View the Figma here! We worked pretty hard on it.
We have 3 different codebases:
- Node
- React
- React-Native
Under the hood, we've opted for two AI/ML integrations, one for OCR (select only the text elements in the image) using Tesseract JS, and a LLM to reason about whether or not the given food items may contain the allergens.
