Project Overview

Why

As a fellow lawn enthusiast, I've always wanted to know exactly what type of grass I have in my lawn. I never bothered trying to identify it from online images because I didn't trust my own judgment. That's when I thought: why not solve this problem with AI?

When I searched online, I found countless people asking the same question on forums and Reddit: "What kind of grass is this?" That's when the idea clicked. I decided to combine my knowledge in this niche with my technical skills to build something useful.

  • • DIY lawn enthusiasts wanting to improve their grass health

Market Validation & Strategy

Pain Point Validation

This was a personal pain point I dealt with for years. I validated the demand through YouTube comments, Reddit posts, and forum conversations online. This is something every homeowner deals with and wants to know.

Competitive Advantage

No existing solutions use AI in this space. Very little tech is involved, creating a perfect opportunity to fill the gap with advanced tools like square footage calculators, product application rates, and soil temperature charts.

Growth Strategy

Currently using pure SEO to build a foundational base. Will branch out to creators and tackle organic social media in the future. The product is free now with plans to add premium features and paid options.

Future Vision

Planning to build a custom database and train a specialized grass model for even more accurate decisions. This will be the first comprehensive AI-powered lawn care platform.

How It Works

Grass identification is zone-dependent. If you're in a specific zone, you likely only have one of a few grass types. Quality of analysis is determined by photo quality - clear, close-up photos yield the best results.
