Notes on fitness, AI coaching, and building Physiq AI as a solo founder, including the parts that don't make it into an App Store description.
Fitbod earned its reputation. Here's what it does well, where it actually falls short, and where Physiq AI does something different, no exaggeration either direction.
The biggest food database in the category, but zero coaching. Where it's genuinely strong, and where it stops being enough.
Fast photo scanning, and a genuinely rough 2026. What's real, what to know before you subscribe, and how the two food scanners actually compare.
India's biggest health app, with a genuinely unmatched Indian food database. Where that strength holds, and where the coaching model falls short.
Strong no-equipment HIIT training, built on self-reported effort instead of real context. Where each approach actually holds up.
Research-backed behavioral psychology coaching, at a real premium price. Why these two might not even be competing for the same person.
