Is Açaí the berry, or the app?
Both. And a third thing. Açaí is a Brazilian superfruit, it’s an AI nutrition tracking app built by Edgecase Labs, and it’s also the name Fitatu gave to a photo-scan feature inside their separate calorie counter. Three different things, one sound. Let’s untangle it.
Açaí the Brazilian superfruit
Açaí (pronounced ah-sah-EE) is a small, dark purple berry that grows on the açaí palm tree in the Amazon basin. It’s famous for being high in antioxidants, fiber, and healthy fats. You’ll usually see it as a smoothie bowl topped with granola and banana. That’s the fruit. We love it. We just aren’t it.
Açaí — the AI nutrition tracker
Açaí is an AI nutrition tracking app built by Edgecase Labs. You take a photo of a meal and it returns 245 micronutrients in seconds: every vitamin, mineral, amino acid, and trace element. Available on iOS and Android. That’s us.

Fitatu is a separate calorie counter from Poland. In 2024 they released a photo-scan engine inside their app and branded it ACAI 2.0. It’s not a standalone app. It’s a feature of the Fitatu app. Same sound as us, entirely different company and product.

Açaí the berry is nutrient-dense in a single, small, edible object. Açaí the app is the same idea applied to software: the full nutritional picture of a meal, delivered in one shot, from one photo. The name was a metaphor before it was a brand.
We picked it in 2025, before Fitatu rebranded its own AI engine ACAI 2.0. Name collisions happen in a global app market. The easiest way to check which one you have is to look at the developer line on the App Store. If it says Edgecase Labs, you have the right one.
Now you know which one you’re looking at.
If it’s the standalone AI nutrition app, it’s here.
