Mir Labs Wants AI to Answer One Question Properly

Editorial interest 78/100 Selection signal · not a rating of the site

A small studio building camera-based AI apps for identifying affordable product alternatives and checking packaged-food ingredients.

Landing page captured for the 2026-09-01 issue.

Field notes

The studio separates two narrow camera workflows rather than presenting a general assistant: Dupely compares photographed fragrances, cosmetics, bags, and shoes, while Bitewise processes packaged-food labels against a dietary profile. Its stated privacy flow removes EXIF and GPS data on the phone, and its response system rejects outputs that fail a shared schema. Both apps are described as account-free, but the homepage marks them as coming soon on the App Store.
