CultivAIte aims to be helpful without overstating what assisted tools can know, read, predict, or promise.
Common questions
How CultivAIte helps
What is Garden Coach based on?
Garden Coach draws on your saved garden records and built-in guardrails. It can help reason through choices, but it does not replace local expertise or careful observation.
Will the seed packet scanner read photos?
Seed packet scanner photo reading is coming soon. Manual review will be required because packet text, growing conditions, and regional details can be misread or incomplete.
Are frost dates and harvest dates guaranteed?
No. Frost and harvest dates should be treated as estimates, not guarantees. Weather, microclimates, soil, pests, and plant health can change the real outcome.
Beta expectations
What developments are upcoming?
Beta work may include photo-supported workflows, community sharing, richer journals, and more guided education. Those features should be treated as upcoming until they are shipped and tested.
What makes helpful beta feedback?
The most helpful feedback is specific, kind, and grounded in real garden use: what was confusing, what saved time, what felt risky, and what would make planning easier.
How to get the most from CultivAIte
The illustrations below are placeholders for now — real diagrams, app captures, and photographed examples will take their place as they are ready.
Start with your space
Add bed shapes, sunlight notes, plants, and location details before asking for guidance.
Review photo reading
Treat seed packet photo reading as a starting point once available; manual review stays part of the workflow.
Use guardrails
Keep estimates, suggestions, and Coach responses connected to real observation and local common sense.
