Assist your AI to assist you with everything related to plants.

An example

A short answer, and the record it stood on.

Your AI answers in a sentence or two. What makes the answer about your plant, rather than plants in general, is what it read first.

Bay laurel, west wall

Laurus nobilis · terracotta pot · west wall · in your care 14 months

“New growth at the tips, but the older leaves are cupping again. Should I change anything?”

Your AI answered · 19 Mar

Cupping with new growth like this is more consistent with uneven deep watering than with a deficiency. Two regional sources say the same. Compare against your 12 Jan photo before changing anything.

You, your AI, and this site

  • You

    You choose your AI, what to ask and what to share — and every real-world act, from watering to pruning, is yours.

  • Your AI

    It identifies, researches, compares and explains, then saves what it found here with its name on it.

  • This site

    It keeps your plants, places and dated entries private and in order. It never waters, diagnoses or decides anything.

Ideas for AI and your plants

  • Things AI is great at

    Remembering what you told it.

    Within a conversation your AI holds everything — the tree you described, the photo you sent, what it suggested and why.

    Take it up a level

    Plants remembers across every conversation and every AI. Each plant keeps one timeline of its photos, measurements, care, harvests and questions, and a new AI can read it on day one.

  • Things AI is great at

    Identifying almost anything.

    A leaf, a flower, a seedling, a weed, a mushroom at the base of a tree — from one photo, with its confidence and the look-alikes.

    Take it up a level

    The photo, the date, the candidate species and who suggested it are kept together, so next spring you can check whether it was right.

  • Things AI is great at

    Reading symptoms like a detective.

    Yellowing, curling, spots, scorch and fruit drop, with the likely causes ranked and the one photo that would tell them apart.

    Take it up a level

    “The lemon is dropping fruit — what happened this same week last year?” is answered from your own record first, year by year, before any new research starts.

Questions people ask

What is Assist With Plants?

A private field journal for your plants that your own AI can read and write. You bring the AI you already use; Plants gives it a lasting memory of your plants, your places and your seasons, so its help builds on everything it learned before.

Which AI can I use?

Any AI app that can add a custom connector (MCP) can connect directly. No app is named here as supported — whether an app can add a connector is a question about that app, and some handle photos or voice better than others.

You can switch whenever you like; your record stays here. And you do not need an AI to begin: keep a record or two first, and connect when you want your AI to see them.

Setup help: Connect your AI

Who can see my plants?

Only you, signed in, and the AI connections you approve. Records are private by default, and there is no public page of your garden.

Can I record plants I don't own?

Yes. A tree on a hike, a hedge on a walk, or a plant at a friend's house can be saved as something you encountered or are following, without becoming a plant in your care. A relative's garden you visit often can be its own place, kept apart from yours.

What does it cost?

Plants is free today, and no price has been set. Some accounts have optional Pro extras, such as voice-note transcription, and we may offer Pro more widely later.
