Plantnet is a platform that allows to identify plant and trees species through pictures. I don't know if it's AI based, it's been around for a long time, long before the dawn of AI.
Users can collaborate to confirm or rebut ID'ed plants.
It's also possible create geographical groups (like a specific region or a specific group of mountains).
I don't know if right now there's a revenue model behind this, probably either selling data and/or premium subscriptions.
This is an awesome app, and community.

I love it and use every time that I'm outdoors, it would be magical if there was some sort of community based, zapped funded version.
I imagine it functioning like polls on nostr: someone posts a picture of a tree, couple of people suggest a couple of species and users zap whomever they think it's right. It's an incentive to post and validate.
Very interesting.
I suppose the question will always be why do they need nostr over what they already have? Why go through that headache? And I don't know enough about nostr nor what they already have to give that answer lol
These are unanswered questions. Need to understand the people an organizers of that community first, before thinking about nostr.
They don't, if it ain't broke...
It's just that centralized servers are always a pain privacy-wise and it would be cool if the community will come together, but it's very difficult for a social twitter-like, i cannot fathom how difficult it will be for such a niche app like plantnet
