Meet Daisy: Your 24/7 AI-Powered Dog Care Companion

Hello, dog lovers! Today, we are thrilled to unveil a new brand identity  and share an exciting, comprehensive vision for how we’re using artificial intelligence (AI) to change the future of dog care. 

Snappoo, as you've known and loved us, has now blossomed into Daisy, the first AI health and wellness app for dogs.

We promise, it's the same team, the same passion, but with an expanded mission to aid you in your dog care journey.

It All Started With Dog Poop

When we set off on this adventure, we had a single-minded objective: harnessing the power of artificial intelligence (AI) to assist dog owners in raising healthier and happier dogs.

It all began from the crossroads of our deep love for dogs and our fascination with digestive health.

We envisioned an app that could predict your dog’s poop health and educate owners on how to enhance their dogs' nutrition using a machine learning model built on dog poop. A noble endeavor, we believed, for our humble side project.

As Snappoo began to grow, something unexpected and wonderful happened. Users didn't just use the app, they engaged, inquired, and asked about other ways that AI could help them become better dog owners.

A Problem In Plain Sight: The Dog Care Gap

Studies reveal that nearly one-third of all dog owners face challenges in providing proper care to their dogs.

It's hardly surprising. Dog care can be expensive, bewildering, and time-consuming:

  • As dog owners, we often resort to Google, only to be swamped by contradicting information.

  • Social media platforms, rather than offering solace, subject us to unwarranted judgment.

  • The recent surge of veterinary telehealth apps, while promising, hasn't quite met our expectations.

  • And even when we can get our dogs to see a vet, the advice is often too technical, impersonal, or insufficient.

We've come to recognize this gap between what our dogs need and what we can provide as the "Dog Care Gap". With this realization, our perspective broadened, opening our eyes to the boundless possibilities of AI in bridging this gap.

Meet Daisy: An AI-Powered App That Bridges the Dog Care Gap

Throughout our experience as Snappoo, people were consistently amazed that our AI could detect signals about their dogs’ health and provide recommendations to improve nutrition.

Fascinated by the seemingly magical new technology, dog owners started to ask us all sorts of questions about AI and the features we might be able to build. 

Snappoo users asked if we could incorporate meal tracking. We deliberated and concluded that yes, we could construct an image-based object detection model for the purpose.

When asked if we could create an intelligent chat feature capable of answering any dog-related questions accurately and instantly, we started experimenting with large language models (e.g., ChatGPT). And again, we found that AI could be an incredible ally to dog owners.

With each interaction, we recognized that AI's potential to transform dog care was everywhere - because the Dog Care Gap was everywhere.

Hence, in alignment with our evolved mission of bridging the Dog Care Gap with emerging AI technologies, we're elated to introduce Daisy, the world's first AI-powered dog care app.

Imagine having a round-the-clock team of experts right in your pocket! Daisy’s suite of smart features empowers dog owners to nurture healthier, happier dogs.

Very soon, we'll roll out a subscription model for Daisy. But the good news is, the early-access version of the app is available for free to download on both the Apple App Store and Google Play Store.

Join us in our mission if you, like us, aspire to be a smarter dog owner and believe in the transformative power of AI. We're excited to have you on this journey, redefining dog care, one tail wag at a time!
