How do I use the Fanak chatbot in Ubod?

By the Ubod team · · 2 min read

In Ubod, open the Chat tab and write to Fanak like you would to a friend, or tap a suggestion. Tell him what you ate: he prepares the entry with the calories and you tap Confirm. You can also ask him for a meal or snack idea, or to plan your recipes around your goal.

Before you start

  • Fanak is a fennec fox, Ubod's mascot, and an AI nutritionist. He knows your goal, your calorie targets and what you have already eaten.
  • Messages use your AI budget, shown in Settings > AI Usage. The Pro plan increases it.

The 3 steps

  1. Open the Chat tab

    Tap Chat in the bottom bar. A new conversation opens on "Your AI Nutritionist" and four suggestions: log an apple for breakfast, ask what to eat for lunch, plan the week's recipes, or log two glasses of water. The pencil at the top right starts a new conversation, and the icon at the top left brings back your previous ones.

  2. Tell him what you ate

    Type in the "Tell me what you ate" field at the bottom, for example "I had an apple for breakfast". Fanak looks up the food and shows a card with the meal, the day, the quantity and the calories (here a 150 g apple, 81 kcal, at breakfast). Nothing is logged until you tap Confirm. Dismiss cancels it.

  3. Ask your questions

    Ask for a high-protein snack idea, a light dinner or an explanation of your macros. Fanak answers in a few seconds, taking your goal and your day into account. The line that counts the tools he used shows what he checked, for example your diary or your targets.

Frequently asked questions

Is Fanak a real nutritionist?

No, Fanak is an AI assistant. He gives general nutrition guidance and does not replace advice from a doctor or a dietitian.

Does the chat log a meal without asking me?

No. Fanak shows a card with the food, the quantity and the calories, and nothing is added until you tap Confirm.

Is the Fanak chat free?

The free plan gives you a daily AI budget, renewed every day. The Pro plan increases it, and Settings > AI Usage shows what you have left and when it resets.
