GutWell is an educational demonstration project exploring how AI can be used to build practical, real-world health tools. It was created to showcase prompt engineering and AI-assisted app development using Claude by Anthropic.
A structured gut health protocol with Caribbean-specific meal guidance, herb rotation, daily symptom tracking, journaling, and an AI wellness assistant — all designed for general educational and wellness reference.
This app is for educational and demonstration purposes only. It is not a medical application and does not provide medical advice. Always consult a qualified healthcare practitioner before making any changes to your diet, supplements, or health routine.
Under 2 minutes. Honest answers build the clearest picture over time.
A few sentences is enough. How did your body feel? What did you eat? Any patterns noticed?
Tap a coloured day to see details.
Across all logged days.
All data is private on this device only. Export creates a file you can email to your practitioner.
Rotate herbs rather than drinking the same one daily. Today's are marked.
Tap each circle when done. Ticks reset automatically each morning.
My mummy is a health enthusiast.
In one of our many conversations about wellness, an idea came up regarding the brain-gut connection and the links between digestion, energy levels, and how that can be tracked.
That conversation planted a seed. Because while GutWell is a demonstration of AI-assisted development, it is also something more than that — it is about encouraging healthy habits. Sound health begins in the gut, and small, consistent daily habits are where that journey starts.
Around the same time, I had been curious about the real capability of AI — specifically Claude by Anthropic. Not the surface-level "ask it a question" kind of use, but something deeper. Could I use it to actually build something? Something functional, useful, and deployable?
GutWell became the answer to both questions at once.
This app was created entirely through structured collaboration with Claude, Anthropic's AI assistant — using prompt engineering, iterative testing, and clear thinking rather than traditional coding.
Every feature was scoped, built, tested, broken, fixed, and refined through conversation. The AI generated the code. The judgment, decisions, and direction were mine.
This project is a demonstration of what becomes possible when domain knowledge meets the right tools and the will to keep going.
A few things this project reflects in practice:
GutWell saves everything privately on the device being used. Here is what you need to know to get the most out of it.
All logs — check-ins, journal entries, and symptoms — are saved directly on the device. Nothing is sent to the internet. Only the person using the device can see it.
Export data first from the Progress tab. History cannot be transferred automatically — it lives on the current device only.
