Talk to PAL from the AI you already use
Connect Claude, ChatGPT, Grok or another AI to your PAL account. Say what you ate, ask how your day is going, log a workout. Your AI does the talking and PAL keeps the numbers right.

An example. Your AI uses its own words. The numbers always come from PAL.
Set it up in three steps
It takes about two minutes, and you only do it once for each AI.
Copy your PAL address
This is what your AI uses to find PAL. It is the same for everyone and it isn't a password.
Add it to your AI
Pick the one you use.
- Open Settings, then Connectors.
- Choose Add custom connector.
- Paste your PAL address and connect.
Set it up once on the web or your computer and it is there on your phone too.
- Open Settings, then Apps and connectors.
- Create a connector and paste your PAL address.
- Choose it when you start a chat.
Adding your own connector may need a paid ChatGPT plan with developer mode switched on.
- Open a chat with your GrokBot.
- Send it your PAL address and ask it to connect to PAL.
- Sign in when it sends you the link.
Using Grok on the web instead? Open grok.com/connectors, choose New connector, then Custom, and paste your PAL address.
- Open Settings, then MCP.
- Add a new MCP server and choose HTTP.
- Paste your PAL address and save.
- Look in its settings for Connectors or MCP servers.
- Add your own, using a web address. Some call this remote or HTTP.
- Paste your PAL address.
If it only offers a list of ready-made connectors, it can't add PAL yet.
Sign in and agree
Your AI opens PAL's sign-in page. Use the same sign-in as your PAL app, read what the AI will be able to do, tick the box and connect.
On a phone, your AI's built-in browser can get stuck on a security check. If it does, set it up on a computer instead.
Connecting an AI is invite only for now. If you have been invited, you are ready to go.
Your first conversation
PAL starts the way a good coach would, by checking it has you right.
- It says your goal and daily targets back to you, so you can put anything right.
- It asks what you have eaten so far today and logs it as you tell it.
- It points out anything missing from the last three days, one thing at a time.
- It suggests a routine or two, like a morning check or an evening wrap-up.
Things to say
- How is my day looking?
- Log a chicken wrap and a flat white
- I did 3 sets of squats at 60 kg
- I weighed 82.4 kg this morning
- What would move my LeanShield score most?
- Take me through my weekly review
You stay in charge
- You choose what it can do
- Before anything connects you see the full list of what the AI may read and change, and you agree to it.
- PAL checks with you first
- Anything that changes a target or your plan comes back as a question. Nothing happens until you say yes.
- Undo for 15 minutes
- Logged the wrong thing? Say "undo that" and it is gone.
- The numbers are PAL's
- Calories and protein come from UK government food data and our verified database. An AI can't make up its own.
- Disconnect whenever you like
- One tap removes an AI's access. See your connected AIs.
- Your AI's own terms apply
- What your AI reads from PAL is handled under that AI's terms, and it may keep a copy.
What stays in the app
A few things need your phone, so they are not part of this: taking a photo of a meal, scanning a barcode with the camera, connecting Apple Health and managing your subscription.
If your health answers mean PAL should never suggest eating less, connecting an outside AI is switched off for your account. Everything still works in the app.
New to PAL?
PAL is a food and training coach for iPhone. You log by typing, talking or taking a photo, and every food shows where its numbers came from. Set up your account in the app first, then come back here to connect your AI.
