Overview
You can start working in TraceGains AI with the information you already have, whether that's a product idea, requirements, an existing file or photo, or a question you want to explore.
Start with an idea or product requirements
Tell the AI Agent what you're trying to create and provide the requirements you already know. This might include nutrition targets, ingredients to include or avoid, texture, shelf-life goals, or other product requirements.
The AI Agent can use this information to propose a formulation and identify additional considerations as you work.
Start with a file or photo
If you already have formulation information, upload the file or photo and tell the AI Agent what you want to do with it.
Start with a question
You can also begin by asking a technical or ingredient-related question before creating or changing a formulation. For example:
- What function does soluble fiber serve in a protein bar?
- What are some alternatives to peanut butter for this formulation?
- What should I consider when formulating for a 12-month shelf life?
What's next?
Once you've created or imported a formulation, you can continue working with the AI Agent to make changes while preserving the requirements that matter to you.
