Assist With Plants

Assist you and your AI with the plants you grow, encounter and care about — what you planted, what you observed, and what it needs next.

A garden is a multi-year experiment you have been running from memory. Plants keeps the plant, the dated observation and the research that goes with it in one record, so next season starts from evidence instead of a guess. It is open and deliberately early: a real account and a real record, with more of the garden still being built.

What it assists with

8 kinds of help

  • assist with the garden
  • assist with keeping it alive
  • assist with what to plant
  • assist with seasons
  • assist with what went wrong
  • assist with watering
  • assist with harvests
  • assist with identifying it

Research loops

Good ideas your AI can borrow.

Short playbooks for a kind of growing work — the right questions, in a sensible order. Entirely optional: your AI can follow one, adapt it, or ignore them all.

  • Plan a season

    5 steps
    1. record what worked and what failed last year
    2. check your frost dates and your real light
    3. choose what you'll actually eat or enjoy
    4. sequence sowing so it doesn't all land at once
    5. write the calendar down

  • Diagnose a sick plant

    5 steps
    1. photograph the whole plant, then the damage close up
    2. check water, light and drainage before pests
    3. look under the leaves
    4. note what changed in the last fortnight
    5. record the diagnosis and whether the fix worked

  • Identify something you didn't plant

    4 steps
    1. photograph leaf, stem and any flower
    2. note where it's growing and how fast
    3. narrow to a family before a species
    4. record whether it stays or goes

  • Set up care you'll keep

    4 steps
    1. group plants by what they actually need
    2. set a schedule around your week, not theirs
    3. note the ones that die without attention
    4. record what you skipped and what happened

  • Save what you learned

    4 steps
    1. record the variety, not just the crop
    2. note the sowing and harvest dates
    3. photograph the result
    4. write the one thing to change next year

What it keeps

Your plants and your notes stay in Plants.

What you grow, where it is and what you privately think of it is yours. Plants keeps the observations, the photographs and the research, and it keeps what you first wrote next to whatever anyone concluded later. Handing any of it to an AI is a deliberate act you can see and undo.

Works with what you already use

Your AI brings the identifying, the diagnosing and the research.

When you authorise it, your AI can work out what you found, read the symptoms in a photograph, compare this season against the last three and check what actually grows in your conditions. Today that handoff is a deliberate copy-and-paste rather than a connection — the record, the queue and the export are what work now.
