AI Tinkerers

Imagine an AI health companion that doesn’t just track your health data—it proactively partners with you. ?? In our latest episode of “One-Shot,” we explore MetabolixAI, the groundbreaking health monitoring system that just won the grand prize at the latest AI Tinkerers Humans-in-the-Loop Hackathon in Seattle. ?? Developed by Varun Pant and his team, MetabolixAI combines continuous glucose monitoring (CGM) with AI to empower you to make smarter health choices every day. They designed AI agents to adapt to real-time glucose data and process user-uploaded meal images, and from there continuously improving its recommendations. Picture this: You’ve been eating quinoa salad all week, and your blood sugar’s thriving. SmartNourish notices the pattern and encourages you to keep it up. Or maybe you miss logging a meal—it might just nudge you with, “Hey, what did you eat?” It’s not just passive data but an accountability buddy nudging you into real behavioral change. Turning data into actionable insights, helping people manage prediabetes and prevent long-term health complications are some of Varun's goals. With 1 in 3 Americans facing this challenge, solutions like SmartNourish are more critical than ever. ???

What if limiting your AI made it smarter? In this week’s AI Tinkerers "One-Shot," Yohei Nakajima shares a counterintuitive approach to building smarter tools—purposefully building BabyAGI to work within constraints like 3.5 instead of GPT-4o. Why? Yohei’s philosophy is that if you can make something work under tighter constraints, it’ll thrive when given more resources. ?? Want more strategy on building? Full episode out now!
