What foods would you like to see in Nutrify?! Let us know in the comments! Also, if you have any questions feel free to ask and Josh and I will answer as best we can!

[@vizualyse]

This is the working "See Food" app from the TV Show, Silicon Valley! Awesome work fellas!

[@mrdbourke]

Hahahah yes yes yes, it sure is! It even does Hot Dogs too! 🌭📸

[@abhishekshandilya5644]

Makes me so happy, daniel. You’ve always been so helpful & my go-to guy for ML stuff (my first starred repo of gh was pytorch for deep learning). This demo was amazing. Nutrify’s been such a central part of your work for so long. Finally it’s here. Going to go try it right now! Congratulations! Love you, man

[@ranieratemoni]

Congratulations Daniel and Josh! It's so great to see the "fruits" of your labour! I have enjoyed following your journey and wishing you great success.

[@mrdbourke]

Thank you thank you! We really appreciate it!

[@vaibhavrana]

Congrats Daniel! Been learning through your bootcamp and Pytorch courses and it's so cool to see this finally come out!

[@mrdbourke]

Thank you! It's finally out!! Keep machine learning legend!

[@manifestasisanubari]

Great work! Been following you since Learn PyTorch in a day video and waiting for this app progress. Bananas to both of you!!! 💖

[@mrdbourke]

Thank you legend! Bananas and pineapples to you to! 🍍🍌

[@Zoe-eu7si]

How awesome it is to see this come to life. Poured your heart and soul into this and it’s so damn good. Proud of you both!!! 👌🏼🍍

[@mrdbourke]

Thank you thank you thank you!

[@ibrahimadiallo7444]

😂😂 Daniel, this is awesome!! Congratulations to you and your brother. I've been watching your journey for nearly 4 years now. I'm ecstatic about Nutrify. Well done!

[@mrdbourke]

Thank you so much for the support brother! We really appreciate it!

[@levelup2014]

Wow you really built it I remember talking to you about your project on Twitter during its early days, love to see the follow through will definitely check it out!

[@mrdbourke]

The follow through took a little while! But it's here!

[@joaoalexdesabugelli7890]

This is one of the best demos, pitches, and product journeys I have ever seen. Nutrify seems to be a great idea, and the implementation you have done to turn this into a product was perfect. I'm looking forward to trying it out (I use Android 😅). Great job. A hug from Brazil! Keep learning, keep creating P.S.: This product has potential for Y Combinator. Are you applying for?

[@MDeusCode]

I am currently enrolled to your deep learning course with tensorflow, but this is really inspiring work

[@yogeshhasabe4931]

And yes The Nutrify Launch Day presentation was awesome 🔥

[@TheBerkaay]

Congratulations Daniel! Great work

Congratulations 👏🏻 I have been following since the idea of nurtify. It's really amazing watching you growww

[@mrdbourke]

Woohooo!!! Thank you for the support brother! I really appreciate it!

[@dipamvasani8727]

Great job :) you are inspiring. This app along with Yuka will be really useful

[@mrdbourke]

Thank you thank you! You're right! We think the same! Yuka is a phenomenal app and they do a great job of scanning different food and cosmetic products with barcodes. We fill in the gap with whole foods!

[@misterzurg7874]

Hey Daniel, congrats! 🎉🎉🎉 You've done an awesome job! Still grinding your pure gold, ml & tf & pytorch couses! Thank u!🗿

[@mrdbourke]

Thank you! Glad to hear you're enjoying the ML/TF/PyTorch courses!

[@peter102]

congrats guys. really awesome product and creative idea. wishing you all the best

[@mrdbourke]

Thank you so much Peter! Really appreciate it! 🍍

[@kevinmccallister7647]

I love the pokedex way this is being done, helping discover new foods

[@Khaled_ML]

Happy to see you again bro after a long time without a video; I have been replicating your Learning Intelligence Journey;

[@yogeshhasabe4931]

Well... it was a ride full of Nostalgic moments of learning & creating 🙌 Truly loved the Nutrify App! Well done Daniel & Josh 👏 Keep Learning ~ Keep Creating has now been on a different level 😄 💯

Thank you!

[@AAMATE]

Mate, I'm so proud of you guys. I'm now at the point you were at in 2017, Collecting ideas and learning machine learning. wish me luck :)

[@mrdbourke]

Thank you so much! And welcome to the world of machine learning my friend! It's a wild one!

[@exvynai]

meanwhile: Jian Yang casually adds Nutrify to his whiteboard

[@tikkydore6973]

Congrats on your wonderful work!! I would like to know the reason why you don’t choose a Mac to train your model?

[@mrdbourke]

Thank you thank you! As for Mac vs Deep Learning PC, the dedicated GPU (NVIDIA TITAN RTX) is just much faster for any kind of larger scale deep learning work.

[@developerjosh]

Gosh did I have some shocking hair cuts during the development of Nutrify. 🤣

[@mrdbourke]

Bring back the mullet! 🎣

[@Zoe-eu7si]

I love that it’s now out for the world to see 😂

[@SaschaRobitzki]

Downloading now!

[@mrdbourke]

Woohooo!!! 🍍📸

[@mohamadhasanzeinali3674]

wow, good lock bro. There is no version for android device? I see the application in google play but that was not related to you. Is that right?

[@mrdbourke]

Thank you! And yes, no version for Android just yet. We're a small team (2x developers) so we had to focus on one platform for now. But we'll be looking to expand Nutrify to Android in the near future!

[@Sohail30]

Woooooo🥳🥳🥳🥳 let's goooooo🔥🔥🔥

[@mrdbourke]

Thank you! 🔥

[@sohamshah1806]

What exactly is the usecase for this app tho? People wanting to log whatever they ate? Cant you do the same thing in other apps

[@mrdbourke]

Yes, that's one potential use case. Another is if you wanted to teach your kids about different foods, you can encourage them to learn about foods by taking a photo of them (my friend has been teaching his 5 year old about different fruits and vegetables at the store with it). Another is to discover foods you've never tried before. Another is to see how you eat over time (other apps do this yes, however, they focus more on calories rather than specific whole foods). And more will come! But yes you're right, other apps do this and our use case is not 100% new, just a different way of approaching it - a fun way!

[@mailoisback]

Btw, is it going to be available for Android?

[@mrdbourke]

Yes! Eventually it will be. However, since we're 2 person developer team (for now), we chose to focus on iOS.

[@davepunk2077]

It"s working Daniel, I scan my mom cook green bean the apps detect "Green Bean", I scan my dog the apps detect "No Food Detected"... Niceeee😅👍

[@mrdbourke]

Woohoo!!!! Glad to hear it's working in the wild!

[@krishnakaushik4294]

Great congratulations 🎉

[@mrdbourke]

Thank you!

[@kingthame]

Just realized this whole app can actually catapault people into communities. Food communities.

[@mouniaelkoraichi2502]

Android users are like 😢😢😢😢😢

[@mrdbourke]

We would love to bring Nutrify to Android! With a small team we had to focus on one to begin (iOS) but it will be on Android one day!

[@AlexanderWinter0]

Good app.

[@mrdbourke]

Thank you! We agree!

[@hemanthchowdary7820]

App is soo goooood

[@mrdbourke]

Thank you thank you!

[@CreativeAiArtistry]

❤❤❤❤wow.

[@aliyahsulaiman4695]

What you guys got against android

[@mrdbourke]

Nothing against Android, just had to focus on one platform to begin with. Of course, we'd love to bring it to Android sometime soon!

[@aliyahsulaiman4695]

Thanks. We android users are all waiting😁😁😁😁

Login does not work :/

[@mrdbourke]

Oh no! What error are you getting?

If I try to Sign in with Apple, I just get the checkmark but nothing is happening after and then I’m still not signed in ^^

[@vankram1552]

API when?

[@mrdbourke]

good question! once we improve our models a bit more, an API could be on the cards!

[@RR-et6zp]

just do kinobody

[@mrdbourke]

Sensational idea!

[@zhwarhiwa]

Hello Daniel , iam Zhwar I am happy that you serve human beings with artificial intelligence. I am the first level of this work. I would like to reach a high level of service to everyone with artificial intelligence. I really want to be better than you because I really like artificial intelligence and I don't want anyone who is better than me، I'm from Kurdistan the people of Kurdistan are in bad financial straits and I'm not deprived of that bad. So I want to make it my livelihood. I want to serve myself and everyone thank you very much.

[@vankram1552]

Ok but is it a hotdog?

[@mrdbourke]

hahaha, the app will tell you!

[@gtaonline3542]

Bring it to android

[@mrdbourke]

We will!

[@krishnakaushik4294]

Waiting for android

[@mrdbourke]

Soon!

are you looking to hire more ML engineers ? I can work for 2.5 bananas a day

[@mrdbourke]

How about 2 bananas and 1 pineapple a day??

[@SnipeSniperNEW]

@@mrdbourke I'll consider it with my dietitian

[@solidname9085]

Useless app, because google lens does it better . And still not a day to day app, a very rare use app....

[@mrdbourke]

You're so right! Google Lens does do a fair few more foods than Nutrify, however, I'd argue our vision models are better for every day usage of foods. Plus, I personally use Nutrify every day. So not rare use for some ;)
