MakanSihat is a state-machine chat concierge: Asian-guideline BMI, three meal-plan tiers, and food swaps, all hardcoded logic. Proof that a useful assistant does not always need an LLM bill.
Health tools with live AI backends carry recurring costs that kill small projects.
Generic BMI tools use Western guidelines that misread Asian health risk.
Meal plans fail when they ignore what Malaysians actually eat.
A scripted conversation that feels assistant-like while running entirely client-side.
Risk categories calibrated to Asian guidelines, not borrowed Western cutoffs.
Three tiers with swap-able local alternatives, nasi included.
The tools, prompts, and 5 workflows behind 9 live systems. Free.
