A Flutter mobile app with AI nutritionist - backend and database 100% on Ubex.
Nourish AI is a community-driven recipe app built with Flutter for the frontend and Ubex powering the entire backend. Users submit cooking recipes, admins moderate content, and an AI nutritionist agent - built entirely in Ubex - gives personalized meal advice, analyzes nutritional info, and suggests recipes based on dietary goals.
From a static recipe list to an AI-powered nutrition companion.
Before
After (Ubex)
Everything a recipe app with AI nutrition needs.
From recipe submission to AI-powered meal planning - backend and agent fully built on Ubex.
Recipe submissions
Users submit their own cooking recipes with ingredients, steps, photos, and tags. Recipes go into a moderation queue for admin review before being published.
AI nutritionist agent
A full AI agent built in Ubex that acts as a personal nutritionist. Analyzes recipes for macros and micros, suggests meals based on goals, and answers nutrition questions.
Admin moderation
Admin panel with full control over all submitted recipes. Approve, deny, or edit content. Manage users, flag inappropriate submissions, and maintain content quality.
User management
Full user system with profiles, submission history, saved recipes, and dietary preferences. Admin manages roles and can ban or restrict users.
Flutter mobile app
Native mobile experience built with Flutter. Smooth animations, offline-capable recipe browsing, and a chat interface for the AI nutritionist. iOS and Android.
Ubex backend & tables
All data stored in Ubex tables - recipes, users, favorites, moderation logs. All API endpoints built as Ubex workflows. Zero custom server code.
Smart recommendations
The AI agent learns user preferences and dietary goals to suggest relevant recipes. Recommends meals that fit calorie targets, allergies, and nutritional balance.
Favorites & collections
Users save recipes to favorites, create collections by meal type or cuisine, and track what they've cooked. Personal recipe library built into the app.
Content quality control
Multi-stage review process. Recipes checked for completeness, accuracy, and appropriateness. Admin feedback sent to users on rejected submissions.
Workflows, tables, and AI agent - all inside Ubex.

We built the Flutter app in-house but dreaded building the backend - auth, moderation, image handling, all of it. With Ubex we had the entire backend running in days. But the real magic is the AI nutritionist agent - users chat with it like a real dietitian and it's built entirely in Ubex workflows. Our app went from a simple recipe list to something people actually use daily for meal planning. The moderation system means we never worry about content quality.
Nourish AI's backend runs entirely on Ubex.
Yours can too.
Recipes. AI Agent. Moderation. Users. All Ubex.
