Phila — your nutrition coach, in your kitchen

Phila is an AI coach trained on South African foods and POPIA-safe for your health data. Ask anything — a recipe substitution, what's missing from your week, what to cook tonight from what's already in the pantry. The full coach (personal plan, RDI tracking, trial cohorts, lab-grade nutrient analysis) unlocks when you sign in.
