Photo calorie app Cal AI was built by two teenagers

a year ago

Zach Yadegari and Henry Langmack, both 18 and still in high school, founded Cal AI.
Cal AI has over 5 million downloads, a 30% retention rate, and $2 million in revenue last month.
The app uses AI models from Anthropic and OpenAI to log calories and macros from food photos with 90% accuracy.
Yadegari sold his first business, a gaming website, for $100,000 at age 16.
Cal AI's co-founders include Blake Anderson, known for ChatGPT dating apps like RizzGPT.
Yadegari decided to attend college after experiencing life in a San Francisco hacker house.
The company now has eight full-time employees and another co-founder, Jake Castillo, as COO.
