Field notes
The setup described on the page asks for a plant photo and a few details about its surroundings, including the window, pot, and last watering. Sample conversations show plant-specific voices, while the site says reminders can be snoozed or corrected when the soil is still wet. It also describes a shared task list and a photo-based history for tracking care over time.
