Like all great ideas, PlantSnap began with a simple question. While exploring a friend’s backyard in 2012, our founder came across an unfamiliar plant—but no one knew its name. That moment sparked a mission to solve the problem. The technology wasn’t ready yet, but the seed was planted for PlantSnap to revolutionize plant identification.
With a database of over 650,000 plants and 475 million+ images, PlantSnap leverages machine learning and AI to help anyone, anywhere, instantly identify plants and trees around the world.
Here at PlantSnap we’ve managed to create a system that allows you to upload a photo and instantly get detailed information of the snapped plant with no guesswork or human interaction involved. In addition, the iOS version of PlantSnap uses new technology called auto-detect and augmented reality. Auto-detect actually tells you when to snap the photo so that you get the perfect picture every time. Augmented reality adds and entire new level of immersion and education into the PlantSnap experience.
With over 650,000 plants and 475 million+ images in our database, PlantSnap is currently using Machine Learning technology and artificial intelligence to help anyone, anywhere, identify any plant or tree on planet Earth!
