By integrating the Open Food Facts API for nutritional data and leveraging AI tools like ChatGPT and Vercel v0 Chatbot AI, I created a responsive webapp that calculates insulin dosage based on carbohydrate content. The app also features internationalization (English/Spanish) and a sleek light/dark mode design. This project is a testament to the power of AI in rapidly turning ideas into functional prototypes.

I’d love to hear your thoughts and feedback on the process!</p> programming ai opensource
