FieldMonocle
A field-guide style AI assistant
What is this?
FieldMonocle is a photo-first outdoor identification tool. Take or upload a photo of a plant, mushroom, tree, insect, houseplant, or other outdoor find, and get a structured, field-guide style identification report — including safety information, lookalikes, confidence level, and recommended next steps.
Safety First
This app is designed with safety as the first priority. Every result clearly shows a safety tier, dangerous lookalikes, and explicit warnings. We never confirm mushrooms or wild plants as safe to eat based on a photo alone. The app's tone is inspired by respected field-guide traditions: practical, careful, and honest about uncertainty.
Identification approach
Identification reasoning is inspired by respected field-guide and expert approaches including mushroom mycology caution, botanical family-based plant reasoning, USDA plant range awareness, BugGuide insect identification style, and RHS houseplant care guidance. This app does not invent citations or fake references.
