Hi everyone, I’m Lukas, a 15-year-old developer from California, and I’m on a mission to end student burnout.

We’ve all been there: It’s 2 PM, you have a mountain of homework, but your brain feels like it’s in a fog. After months of research, I realized the problem isn't just lack of sleep—it’s neuro-nutrition. What we eat directly dictates how we think.

That’s why I’m building Nous.

What is Nous?

Nous is an AI-powered app that uses computer vision to "scan" your meals and provide an instant Brain Score. It tells you exactly how your food will impact your focus, memory, and cognitive energy for the next four hours. No more guessing—just data-driven fuel for your mind.

Where We Are Now

I have officially completed the final prototype! The computer vision models are trained, the Gemini-integrated AI is logic-tested, and the first build is currently in the hands of student testers.

Why I Need Your Help

To take Nous from a working prototype to a public launch on the App Store, I need to cover the final "founder hurdles":

Server Costs: To keep our AI lightning-fast for thousands of users.

App Store Licensing: Getting the app officially verified and published.

Legal & Trademarking: Securing the "Nous" brand and protecting our IP.

Final Beta Testing: Scaling our cloud infrastructure to support more student testers.

The Vision

I believe that every student deserves the tools to reach their full potential. By supporting this campaign, you aren't just funding an app—you’re investing in a future where we use AI to understand our own minds better.

Every dollar helps, and even a share goes a long way!

Thank you for helping me build the future of focus.
