Field notes
The page’s example material includes Thai dish names, English descriptions, and prices, followed by a staff-facing order card in Thai. Its planned workflow adds a food-goal choice before ordering and a plate-photo estimate afterward. Ask Auntie says those estimates will be ranges rather than exact figures, and that photos go to Google’s AI only when a user requests a read. The app is listed for iPhone, with Thai menus first.
