Gemini vs Vitalume
Gemini can describe a plate and answer questions, and it is starting to connect to Fitbit data. It still is not a diary, has no verified food database, and does not build or adapt a plan. Vitalume is a full nutrition and training coach native on Android with a persistent log and closed-loop targets.
