Chatbot

Get the List of Commands

Ask the chatbot to list its commands and it will reply with a dynamic list of all available functions and example phrases for each.

Try saying:

• “What commands do you have?”
• “What commands can you do?”
• “What can I ask you to do?”
• “List your commands”
• “Show me your commands”

Log a Food Entry

Tell the chatbot what you ate and it will search the databases, find the food, select the right measure, and log it to your food diary.

Try saying:

• “I had 2 slices of whole wheat bread”
• “I consumed 1 cup of rice for dinner”
• “I drank a glass of orange juice”

• “Yesterday I ate a bowl of cereal”

Correct a Logged Food Entry

After logging food, the chatbot may ask you to verify the match when it is not fully confident. You can fix a logged entry by sending a follow-up message in the chat. The chatbot will search again using your corrected description and update today’s matching log entry.

Use either format below. The part before should be helps identify which entry to update; the part after is the food you want instead. Be as specific as you can about preparation (for example, with skin vs without skin) so the right database item is chosen.

Try saying:

• “large cosmic crisp apple should be apples, raw, with skin”
• “2 slices of toast should be 2 slices of white bread, toasted”
• “correction: chicken breast should be chicken, broilers or fryers, breast, meat only, roasted”
