Content Moderation & Anti-Spam Filter

Every image analysis now includes automated content moderation. The AI detects objects in each upload and applies a weighted scoring engine to block off-topic or abusive content before it consumes analysis quota. Flagged transactions are sent to an admin moderation queue for review. Blocked analyses never consume the user's quota.

Auth Session Resilience

Resolved an issue where stale authentication errors could persist across sign-out and re-login cycles, causing users to see expired session errors when their session was actually valid. The mobile app now clears all transient error state on authentication changes.

GPS & 7-Day Weather Awareness

Successfully integrated real-time location capture and historical weather analysis. Our AI now considers the last week of temperature and precipitation at your exact coordinates to provide the most accurate diagnostic in the market.

Unified API Gateway & Secure Routing

Launched a centralized entry point for all mobile and enterprise traffic, ensuring top-tier security, performance, and API-only database access policies.

Automated Analysis Recovery

Our backend now features a self-healing 3-day recovery cycle. Scans that fail due to transient system issues are automatically retried for free, ensuring users always receive their results and our database remains consistent.

GDPR Privacy & Data Portability

Deployed user-directed portability exports and erasure pipelines. Closed accounts automatically anonymize botanical telemetry to support global research securely while purging all personal data.

Enterprise Team Management & Worker Auth

Released secure 24h OTP invitations, restricted password-only login pathways for worker roles, and role-based dashboard access controls to enforce corporate governance.

Hierarchical IoT Smart Farm Integration

Designed spatial device mapping schemas (Project -> Country -> City -> Place -> Plant) for IoT sensors, cameras, and drones, co-processing sensor telemetry directly inside our AI diagnostics.

AI Event-Driven Webhooks

Deployed secure inbound webhook gateways supporting symmetric static HMAC signatures and dynamic cryptographic key validation. Real-time batch and video status alerts are published via internal message queues to automate state reconciliation without blocking client cycles.

Completed

API Version 1 Standardization

Standardized the legacy unversioned structure to a versioned v1 RESTful hierarchy across all backend platforms to prepare the system for public API access and gateway routing.

Cross-Platform Integration Testing

Integrated automated test suites executing via cloud-based test infrastructure in the CI/CD pipeline, and established jailbreak detection and security validation.

Standardized Error Payload & Logging

Standardized API error payloads across all backend handlers, implementing consistent logging and client-safe error envelopes.

Analysis Impressions & Feedback Flow

Implemented thumbs up/down feedback persistence and synchronization mechanisms to track user satisfaction with AI plant diagnostics.

Planned

iOS Dependency Modernization

Following the latest platform standards, we will modernize our iOS core dependency management (such as Swift Package Manager migration) to maintain the highest security and compatibility standards.

Agricultural Neural Refinement

Further refining our AI prompts and model weights to specialize in specific regional crop diseases and local botanical variations.

Enterprise Webhook Enhancements

Real-time notifications for B2B customers when large-scale environmental anomalies are detected in their monitored zones.

Smart Care Reminders & Scheduling

In-app scheduling notifications that alert users when their plants need care (watering, misting, repotting) customized to local weather patterns.

Ambient Light Level Diagnostic

A camera-exposure based tool to analyze the light levels in a room, ensuring plants are placed in optimal lighting environments.

Digital Plant Growth Journals

Progress tracking with timeline photo logging to record plant development and health over time.
