❓ Frequently Asked Questions

FyTevΦ is an AI Operating System for everything that grows. It combines plant identification, garden management, landscape design, professional contractor tools, and a community of plant explorers — all in one platform.

Go to Scan and take up to 4 photos of the plant (whole plant, leaf, flower, unique angle). FyTevΦ Intelligence uses a two-stage pipeline — Plant.id followed by PlantNet for confirmation — to identify your plant with high accuracy.

FyTevΦ Intelligence returns a confidence score. Results above 80% are confirmed immediately. Below 80%, a second identification request goes to PlantNet for cross-verification. DeepSeek then enriches the profile with care, benefits, and safety data.

Yes — the free tier includes scanning, garden tracking, community access, and the plant encyclopedia. Upgraded tiers (Sprout, Grower, Pro) unlock more monthly scans, landscape design tools, AI coaching, and marketplace features. See Pricing for details.

Take 4 photos: (1) the whole plant, (2) a single leaf close-up, (3) any flower or fruit if present, (4) one unique identifying feature like bark, stem pattern, or seed pods. Good lighting dramatically improves accuracy.

Yes — FyTevΦ Intelligence covers over 400,000 plant species globally including houseplants, trees, shrubs, herbs, vegetables, wildflowers, aquatic plants, and weeds.

The plant is saved to your garden collection with a full profile: care schedule, water needs, sunlight, toxicity warnings, culinary uses, medicinal history, companion plants, and ecological role. You also earn FyTev Coins for each confirmed scan.

Yes — browse the Plant Encyclopedia and add any plant directly to your garden from the plant profile page.

The Grow Dashboard is your personal garden command center. It shows care schedules, watering reminders, harvest tracking, plant health monitoring, AI coaching, and seasonal guides — all tailored to your specific plants.

The AI Garden Coach uses DeepSeek to analyze your garden profile, current season, grow zone, and individual plant needs to give you specific, actionable advice — not generic tips.

The 2D Landscape Planner is a drag-and-drop canvas where you design your outdoor space with plants from your collection plus 16 hardscape elements (paths, patios, fences, water features, etc.). AI rendering creates a photorealistic preview.

After designing your layout, FyTevΦ uses Pollinations.ai (Flux architecture) to generate a photorealistic rendering of what your finished landscape will look like. Tap "Render with Φ" in the planner.

Yes — from My Projects, tap "Post for Bids" and qualified landscaping pros will submit proposals. You review, compare, and choose. The Pro Hub connects homeowners and professionals.

AI Progress Check lets you upload a photo of your in-progress build. FyTevΦ Intelligence scores your work 0–100 and gives specific feedback. Approved builds earn 15 FyTev Coins.

Every action earns reputation points: scans, harvests, designs, posts, and challenges. Points move you through levels: Explorer → Contributor → Plant Guide → Expert Guide → Verified Professional. Your level is shown on your profile and the leaderboard.

Badges are permanent achievements earned by hitting milestones (First Scan, Green Thumb, Harvest Master, etc.). They appear on your Profile → Community tab.

The Leaderboard ranks all FyTevΦ explorers across 6 metrics: Reputation, Coins, Scans, Harvests, Designs, and Community Posts. Your rank is always shown at the top.

Your garden, scans, and profile data are private by default. You can toggle public visibility in Settings → Privacy. We never sell your data to third parties.

Toxicity information is sourced from verified botanical databases and is displayed prominently on every plant profile. FyTevΦ Intelligence flags toxic plants immediately on scan results — before you confirm identification.
