Inspiration
Food waste is a huge problem. We often throw away food because we are not sure if it is still fresh. Microvita AI was inspired to solve this with AI.
What it does
Microvita AI scans food using the phone camera. It detects freshness, expiry date, and calories instantly. Users get 3 free scans, then can unlock premium with PayPal for unlimited scans.
How we built it
We built it with JavaScript and TensorFlow for AI image detection. We integrated PayPal JS SDK for premium payment flow. The app is hosted on Netlify and uses PayPal Sandbox for testing
Challenges we ran into
The main challenge was making the AI accurate for different foods and integrating PayPal checkout on mobile. We solved it by training the model with more data and using PayPal Developer Sandbox.
Accomplishments that we're proud of
We created a working app that combines AI and PayPal payments in a simple user experience
What we learned
We learned how to combine AI computer vision with real payment flows using PayPal APIs.
What's next for Microvita Ai
We plan to add more food types, nutrition tracking, and full PayPal subscription support.
