Pl@ntNet

Point your phone at a plant, take a photo, and Pl@ntNet tells you what species it probably is. That is the whole job, and the app does it as a participatory science project, so the photos people submit also feed research on plant biodiversity.

Pl@ntNet is a plant identification app that works from pictures rather than from keys or field guides you have to learn first.

The project says it runs as a platform for plant biodiversity without advertising and without reselling data, which is a meaningful promise for an app that collects images from its users.

Support comes from the Agropolis Foundation, so this is a research-backed effort and not a commercial product chasing engagement.

The listing also tags Pl@ntNet under AI image recognition and AI API, which suggests developers may find it relevant too.

For most people, though, it is a simple tool for naming the plants you come across and adding to a shared scientific record while you do it.
