Inspiration
We’re building CrunchD to solve a problem we face ourselves — eating clean but still feeling bloated, inflamed, and low on energy, without knowing why. We saw an opportunity to use AI to solve real-world problems and deliver more intelligent solutions than current apps offer.
What it does
CrunchD is the world’s smartest conversational AI nutritionist that lives in WhatsApp. Simply take a photo, log a voice note, or text CrunchD to get instant insights. Or book a call to discuss your health goals and nutrition.
How we built it
We used Bolt for the initial prompting of the solution. We got some nice designs made using 21st.dev, which had a neat way to copy prompts directly to Bolt. We used n8n to build the AI workflows, which ended up being many more workflows once we got into the detail. Eventually, we had to work with Cursor as the project got more complicated. We also started with Elevenlabs conversational ai and will be bringing CrunchD's voice to life!
Challenges we ran into
Running out of Bolt credits (we upgraded). Then running out on Cursor’s pro plan (we upgraded). Delivering a superior user experience and making it really simple — so simple that even our moms can use it. Security - we haven't yet had the chance to share this live here, but we will be doing soon. Costing, how to make this as efficient as possible so we can make this very affordable.
We’re sure there will be more challenges as we continue bringing CrunchD to life, but we're excited for the world to try it!
Accomplishments that we're proud of
Putting together a working MVP in weeks with no prior experience building full solutions. This would have taken months and probably would have been impossible for us to do without AI and tools like Bolt.
What we learned
Be persistent. Prompt hard, play hard. Prompting is key.
What’s next for CrunchD
We’ll take it to production and go live before 22 July. Still more to build.
