Snap an optional photo
Take a photo in the app when you log. Skip it any time.
AI poop analysis, explained honestly
"AI poop analysis" sounds grander than it is, and we'd rather be clear. In PoopAI, AI is a shortcut for logging, not a lab test. It helps you pick a Bristol type quickly so your diary stays consistent.
Why does that matter? The Bristol scale describes poop form from type 1 (separate hard lumps) to type 7 (entirely liquid). Doctors use it because "normal" means different things to different people. A consistent label every time makes your weekly trends meaningful.
Who is it for?
- People who find choosing between types 3, 4 and 5 fiddly
- Anyone who wants a photo record they can look back on
- People logging for a GP or dietitian who want consistent Bristol labels
- Anyone who would rather tap than type
How does it work?
Check the suggestion
AI photo analysis suggests a Bristol type. Accept it or change it.
See it in your trends
The entry joins your meals and trigger tags in weekly reports and trend charts.
Bristol stool logging
Pick a type from 1 to 7 in a tap. Add a photo only if you want to.
AI photo analysis for faster logging
Snap it and let AI pre-fill the entry. You stay in charge and can change anything.
Discreet mode
Stealth mode shows the app as "HealthAI" on your home screen, and poop photos can be pixelated.
What does the AI do, and what doesn't it?
| It does | It doesn't |
|---|---|
| Suggest a Bristol type from your photo | Read poop color |
| Speed up logging | Look for blood, mucus or anything medical |
| Let you change the suggestion | Diagnose or rule out any condition |
| Keep photos optional | Replace a doctor's exam |
If you see blood, or poop that is black or dark red, contact a doctor. The NHS says ask for an urgent GP appointment or call 111 for black or dark red poo or bloody diarrhea. Don't wait for any app.
What is the Bristol scale, quickly?
| Types | What they describe |
|---|---|
| 1 to 2 | Hard lumps or a lumpy sausage; often linked with constipation |
| 3 to 4 | A sausage with cracks, or smooth and soft |
| 5 to 7 | Soft blobs, mushy pieces, or entirely liquid; toward diarrhea |

How does it compare with other photo apps?
Dieta Stool AI Tracker also centers on AI analysis of stool photos, on iPhone and iPad. Poopier Plus says its photo checks happen on the device and photos are never uploaded. PoopAI's store listings don't say where photos are processed, so we won't guess; ask us at the support address below. See PoopAI vs Dieta.
What does a week of logs look like?
Mon 07:45 Poop: type 5, photo added (AI suggested 5) Mon 12:30 Meal: burrito bowl tags: FODMAPs Tue 08:10 Poop: type 3, photo added (AI suggested 4, changed to 3) Wed 08:00 Poop: type 4, no photo
What do you log, and what don't you?
| You log in PoopAI | PoopAI doesn't log |
|---|---|
| Each poop as a Bristol type, 1 to 7, with an optional photo | Symptoms such as pain or bloating |
| Meals by photo or text | Mood, stress or sleep |
| Trigger tags such as dairy, gluten, FODMAPs and caffeine | Fluids, medicines or periods |
| Times, so meals and poops line up | FODMAP amounts or grams |
Fewer fields is a choice: it keeps each log to a few seconds. If you want to remember a sore tummy or a stressful day, jot a paper note next to the date.

Quick answers
Do I need to take photos to use PoopAI?
No. Photos are optional. You can log by tapping a Bristol type.
Can I correct the AI?
Yes. Treat the suggestion as a head start and change it if it doesn't match what you saw.
Does the AI check for blood or color changes?
No. PoopAI does not analyze color. If you see blood or black poop, contact a doctor rather than relying on any app.
Is AI poop analysis accurate?
We don't publish accuracy figures, so always review the suggestion. The log is for spotting your own patterns, not for medical decisions.
Where are photos processed?
The store listings don't say, so we won't guess. See the privacy policy at docs.haaatch.com/privacy or email poopai@haaatch.com.
Are poop photos hidden?
The Google Play listing says poop pictures are pixelated, and stealth "HealthAI" mode disguises the app icon.
Is my data private?
Google Play's Data safety section says PoopAI collects and shares no data, encrypts data in transit and lets you request deletion. The App Store label says contact info may be linked to you and health data is not. The full policy is at docs.haaatch.com/privacy.
