Food Guru AI Agent

This is my very first AI Agent. It is a humble start, very basic, and intended to help me get my feet wet.

It was developed by following a Voiceflow feature review and tutorial by Edwin Chen and from learnings from a course by Denys Linkov.

Click on the Food Guru bubble below, ask for a type of food, and it will provide the number of calories, grams of sugar and grams of fat.

Agent Type:

  • Basic One-Shot Agent:  This agent just provides some information about a specified food item. Over time I may add to it and develop a workflow.  Ideas are to have it track foods eaten and provide summaries and recommendations.
  • Agentic Workflow AI Agent:  This isn’t a full blown AI agent yet, as there is not a series of tasks in a workflow.
  • Truly Autonomous AI Agent:  Maybe someday…

Personal Learnings:

  • Conversation design using Voiceflow
  • Use of an LLM to retrieve food information (GPT-4o Mini)
  • Use of a JSON structure to capture return values from the LLM, and use of variables with dot notation for outputting the individual values to the user
  • Attaching the agent to a WordPress-based website using HTML / Voiceflow widget
