Paris-based Foodvisor has raised $4.5 million in venture capital to accelerate development of its nutritional coaching app that uses artificial intelligence and computer vision to monitor users’ eating habits.

“How can I eat better?” was the first question, said Foodvisor cofounder and chief marketing officer Aurore Tran.
