Connect Nutriely to your AI assistant

Your assistant can then answer from your food diary, your targets and our catalog instead of general knowledge. It takes a couple of minutes and works with a free Nutriely account with a verified email. Subscribers can also ask about their full history and trends.

Turn on Developer mode

  1. 1

    Open ChatGPT's settings

    Go to chatgpt.com, sign in and open Settings. On a workspace plan, an admin may need to allow Developer mode first.

  2. 2

What to ask first

  • Which vegetables gave me the most vitamin A this month?
  • Which nutrients have I been low on this month?
  • Where does my fibre come from?
  • What would this recipe add to my day?
  • Add what I had for lunch, and tell me what it adds up to.

Values are estimates based on what you logged, and they aren't medical advice.

What gets shared

  • Nothing is shared unless you connect an assistant and approve it on our consent screen.
  • Once connected, the assistant can read your food diary, notes, goals, nutrient data and insights, along with your nutrition standard, diet and unit preferences. When you ask, it can add foods to your diary or remove them, create and edit your own foods and recipes, and update a diary day's totals. It can't change anything else.
  • Your name and email address aren't shared through this connection.
  • This data goes to the assistant you connected and its AI provider, under their terms and privacy policy. Please read them first, and only connect if you're comfortable with that.

You can read the details in our privacy policy.

How to disconnect

Sign in on the Nutriely website and open your account page. Under Connected assistants, click Disconnect.

We then stop sharing data with that assistant, but we can't delete what it has already received. For that, contact its provider. You can also remove Nutriely from the assistant's own settings.
