More Fun With The Google Health Assistant

All I ask is that it be able to consistently to track my meals.

I have the same breakfast every day. It recognizes the full list of items, then enters only a part of it. Then it tries to fix it and gets it wrong again. Then it tries to fix it again and now has duplicates in the log. After I complain and show it the error it tells me it will remove the duplicates. Then I ask it to confirm and it tells me sorry it doesn't have the power to delete entries and I have to delete them.

Could it be any more useless?

Are You Finding The AI Helper Useful?

I see the promise of using the AI helper. I have never logged calories/supplements before so I was wanting to use this to keep track of what I am eating/what supplements I take (I was hoping it could potentially add up the amounts of each supplement too - x mg of magnesium, y mg of calcium etc - perhaps in a future update).

I was hoping it would allow me to say things like "my breakfast is the same as yesterday or it is the same as yesterday except I didn't have a coffee...or I added an extra Y". I am finding it very unreliable. It will randomly change things, say it posted the breakfast but I will find it didn't post anything at all (it will repeatedly lie to me and say that it did), tell me I didn't have any supplements at lunch yesterday when I clearly did. Is there some trick to this for it to make it actually do what you ask of it accurately? I eventually have resorted to swearing at it, calling it stupid etc. and that seems to make it a little better...but that shouldn't be the way.

It is unfortunate there is no web interface for this. I could much more easily give this information...than trying to type things again and again into the phone. When working with something like claude I can point it to additional files in Obsidian to ensure it always has the right context.

Anyone else had better luck with the assistant?
