How this classifier works

To start, upload your image. Our AI tool will then predict what type of meal it is.

This pretrained image model uses a Nyckel-created dataset and has 24 labels, including Appetizer, Beverage, Breakfast, Brunch, Cake, Cereal, Dessert, Dinner, Finger Food and Fruit.

We'll also show a confidence score (the higher the number, the more confident the AI model is around what type of meal it is).

Whether you're just curious or building meal categories detection into your application, we hope our classifier proves helpful.
