How the AI reviews actually work

What happens to each photo

Every photo is reviewed individually — not batch-skimmed — against your yard's actual context: your plant inventory, your sprinkler zones, recent weather, any active watering adjustments, and soil sensor readings if you have them. The review looks for disease, pests, drought and overwatering stress, nutrient problems, and mowing or pruning issues.

What comes out of a review

• Findings written on the photo — what it sees and what to do about it.
• Tasks for hands-on work, each linked to a how-to.
• Plant status updates (healthy / watch / problem) on your inventory.
• Watering proposals when a change is justified — never applied without your approval.

The guardrails

• Every watering change is capped per proposal and in total across proposals.
• Every change has an expiry (a few days to three weeks) and reverts automatically.
• A zone with active fungus cannot receive a watering increase — more water spreads fungus.
• The AI can propose but never approve; approval is yours alone.
• Everything is logged: the photo, the finding, the proposal, your decision, and the sprinkler write.

What it will not do

It won't diagnose from a blurry photo of a distant lawn (get close-ups of anything concerning), it won't identify plants it can't see clearly, and it errs on the side of a cautious recommendation plus a task rather than a confident guess. When it isn't sure, it says so.
