Tera for Grocers — The AI Nutritionist Powering Personalized Health Shopping

Your Store Has Thousands of Products. Give Every Customer Their Own AI Nutritionist.

Tera embeds a real-time AI Nutrition Coach inside your grocery experience—helping shoppers create meal plans, build shopping lists, get nutrition advice, and discover the right products for their health goals while they shop.

Choice Overload Kills Healthy Shopping at Scale

Your store may carry tens of thousands of "healthy" products—but shoppers still don't know:

  • What supports their condition
  • What fits their diet & allergens
  • What aligns with their metabolic goals
  • What avoids harmful additives

Even motivated shoppers face too many choices—leaving confusion about what to choose:

  • Kills conversion
  • Shrinks basket size
  • Increases returns & swaps
  • Weakens loyalty

Your shoppers don't need more products. They need guidance.

An AI Nutritionist + Food-as-Medicine Engine Inside Your Store

Tera gives grocers two powerful, unified capabilities:

① AI Nutrition Coach Agent (Customer-Facing)

Your shoppers get a real-time AI Nutritionist that can:

Create personalized meal plans
Generate smart shopping lists tied to your catalog
Provide on-demand nutrition advice
Answer ingredient, diet, and health questions
Recommend recipes & products in-basket
Adjust guidance by:
Health goals
Conditions
Diets
Allergens
Budget
Household size

The AI doesn't just recommend — it guides, explains, and adapts.

② Food-as-Medicine Product Tagging + Recommendation APIs (Under the Hood)

Every product is automatically tagged with:

60+ health conditions supported
50+ health goals
30+ diet compatibilities
Food allergens
Key nutrients & phytonutrients
Harmful additives & chemicals
Health scores (Nutrient Density, Glycemic Load, Nutri-Score, Tera Health Score)

Then every aisle, search result, PDP, and basket is ranked & personalized by health relevance.
