AI Content Transparency

Our goal is to make IBD research and content more accessible. We use AI to turn research into practical guidance across the Fathom app, our resources library, and Fathom Cooking. This lets us move quickly, but it also means we owe you clear disclosure about what is AI-generated and what its limits are.

How we use AI

• Research summaries, educational resources, and recipe drafts are created with AI.
• In Fathom Cooking, every recipe and cooking image is AI-generated.
• Some in-app guidance and responses may be AI-generated.
• Every recipe is reviewed by a human on our team, but not by a registered dietitian and not clinically verified.

How we review and validate

We run AI output through a multi-stage process that checks sources, compares claims to known IBD dietary guidance, and looks for obvious safety issues. The goal is to keep ideas rooted in current research, while acknowledging that evidence for IBD diets is still evolving and much is still unknown.

What this means for you

Fathom does not provide medical advice, diagnosis, or treatment. Use this content as a starting point and talk with your gastroenterologist or dietitian for personalized guidance, especially during a flare or when symptoms change.
