Long Island Teen’s AI Food App Rakes in Millions
« on: April 30, 2025, 12:48:49 PM »

Using the app, users can scan any food, and Cal AI figures out what’s in the picture, estimating calories, protein, carbohydrates, and fats.

Long Island teen Zach Yadegari created Cal AI, a calorie-tracking app with over 5 million downloads and a projected $30 million in revenue this year.
Despite a 4.0 GPA and a 34 ACT score, Yadegari says he was rejected by 15 out of 18 colleges, including multiple Ivy League schools.
After he posted about the rejections on X, Yadegari’s story has gone viral, sparking debate about whether elite schools value entrepreneurial accomplishments.

"I think this balance between a human and AI interaction is really where the future is headed," Yadegari said.
