Last updated 5 months ago

Welcome to Body Byte! Our AI-powered platform is designed to provide personalized health and weight loss support through predictive insights, conversational coaching, and seamless tracking. Getting started is quick and easy. This guide walks you through creating an account and setting up your profile to ensure the app tailors recommendations to your unique needs.

Step 1: Download the App

  • Body Byte is available on iOS and Android devices as a PWA (Progressive Web App) which you can get at https://app.bodybyte.ai

  • Download and install the app. It's free to start, with optional premium features for advanced personalization.

Step 2: Create Your Account

  1. Open the Body Byte app.

  2. On the welcome screen, tap Sign Up.

  3. Choose your sign-up method:

    • Email: Enter your email address and create a secure password.

    • Social login: Use Google, Apple, or Facebook for faster setup.

  4. Verify your email if prompted (check your inbox for a confirmation link).

  5. Agree to the terms of service and privacy policy. We prioritize your data security—review how we handle information in the app's settings.

Once signed up, you'll be directed to the profile setup wizard.

Step 3: Complete Your Initial Profile Setup

Your profile is the foundation for Body Byte's personalized AI. The setup wizard guides you through key details to generate accurate goals and predictions.

  1. Basic Information:

    • Enter your name, age, gender, height, and current weight. This helps calculate metrics like resting metabolic rate and body composition estimates.

    • Select your primary goal (e.g., weight loss, maintenance, muscle gain, or overall wellness).

  2. Health and Lifestyle Assessment:

    • Answer a short questionnaire about your daily habits, such as typical sleep patterns, activity level, dietary preferences (e.g., vegetarian, low-carb), and any restrictions (e.g., allergies).

    • Provide details on environmental factors like your location type (urban/rural), work schedule, and commute style—these influence recommendations for things like weather-adjusted activities.

  3. Set Personalized Goals:

    • Body Byte suggests initial targets based on your inputs, such as daily calorie range, macro breakdown (e.g., protein leverage ratio), or step goals.

    • Customize them as needed—e.g., prioritize fiber intake or sleep efficiency. You can edit these later in the app's settings.

  4. Connect Devices and Integrations (Optional but Recommended):

    • Link wearables like Apple Watch, Fitbit, or Oura for automatic tracking of steps, heart rate, sleep, and more.

    • Integrate your calendar to factor in schedules, travel, or social events.

    • Connect smart scales for weight and body composition data, or grocery apps for pantry management.

    • Grant permissions carefully; you can manage these in More > Devices & Integrations.

  5. Customize Preferences:

    • Set notification preferences: Choose quiet hours and receptivity levels (light, normal, high) to control when the app sends predictive nudges, like snack risk alerts.

    • Adjust AI coach tone (warm, neutral, concise) and frequency for conversational check-ins.

    • Enable accessibility options, such as larger text or high-contrast mode, under More > Accessibility.

Step 4: Review and Confirm

  • The app will summarize your profile and show a preview of your dashboard, including initial predictive insights (e.g., optimal activity windows).

  • Tap Finish Setup to access the home screen. If anything looks off, you can edit your profile anytime via the avatar icon in the top corner.

Tips for a Strong Start

  • Accuracy Matters: Be honest in your assessment for better AI predictions. The app uses data patterns to refine advice over time.

  • Privacy First: All data is encrypted, and you control what to share. Visit More > Data Privacy to export or delete information.

  • Explore the Dashboard: After setup, check the home screen for today's at-a-glance metrics and prediction chips.

  • Need Help?: If you encounter issues, tap More > Support for FAQs or contact our team.

By setting up your profile thoughtfully, Body Byte can deliver proactive, tailored support to help you achieve sustainable results.
