PlantWatch is a non-profit digital platform dedicated to raising awareness of global flora biodiversity. We believe that technology can bridge the gap between scientific data and public appreciation for the natural world.

Our Technology

Our platform is an advanced, custom-built system that operates automatically. Here’s how it works:

  1. Our automated scripts (`fetcher`) explore vast botanical databases like the Trefle API to discover new plant data.
  2. For each new plant, another script (`processor`) gathers detailed characteristics and sends them to Google's Gemini API.
  3. Gemini then acts as an expert botanical writer, generating a unique and engaging article for each plant.
  4. The final content is stored and indexed in our system, ready to be explored by you.

Our Mission

Our mission is to make botanical data accessible, understandable, and interesting for everyone, from students to seasoned naturalists. By creating an interconnected web of plant knowledge, we hope to foster a deeper appreciation for the complex ecosystems that sustain our planet.
