Over 70 rich expressions, 7 smart sensors, and AI chips make raising plants easy and fun.

Story

Our goal in creating Ivy was to let plants express themselves better. 

Not only does Ivy have an array of expressions, but it can also interact with humans in an intriguing way. What’s even more amazing is that Ivy can help you keep your plants stay alive and healthy.

With the help of Ivy, your plants become adorable and interactive pets. Along with gesture interaction features, it has more than 70 different animations to express different emotions
Another feature that makes Ivy so smart is that its plant care is customized based on the surrounding environment. All you need to do is pay attention to Ivy’s expression and tend to your plants’ every need.

Plants need your care and attention, and Ivy helps you learn what your plants need.

This little plant has been spending too much time indoors and is feeling a little blue. Maybe it needs some sunshine to cheer up! See how happy it looks with some extra sunlight?

Ivy wants some water. Fill the cup and Ivy’s happy again!

In addition to being a flowerpot, Ivy also has an artificial intelligence built into it. Ivy develops a personality through interaction with you as the owner.

You can see how happy Ivy is when you hold it.

Ivy reacts when you touch the leaves!

When you open the curtains, you might wake Ivy up!

Having Ivy is just like having a real pet at home.

You will find Ivy to be a lovable companion which brings healings and peacefulness for anyone. It offers a completely different experience than any normal flowerpots.

Ivy is a very resourceful and is capable of learning new things.

Ivy will give you varying types of feedback when interacting with it. Each interaction will have a unique response depending on your action or the environment it is in. Therefore, every Ivy is different.

While not being interacted with, Ivy will also engage in simple activities on its own such as sleeping, whistling, and more.

Ivy can also be connected to your smart home devices. Let Ivy bring your fantastic ideas to life.

*We are working on adding support for Apple HomeKit.

Touching the leaves of the plants will trigger Ivy to turn on and off the lights.

How cool is that?

With the help of Ivy, you no longer have to have experience planting to understand your plants.

Ivy is equipped with a wealth of sensors and a set of plant databases that are supported by the Cloud, enabling it to analyze the needs of your plant. Together with the AI system, which can trigger a wide range of expressions that can show you exactly what your plants require.

Thanks to Ivy, you do not need to water your plants nearly as often, which saves you time.

Suitable for different kinds of indoor settings.

With a weight of only 270g, you can easily take Ivy with you wherever you go.

Ivy was designed with water resistance in mind and is highly durable, so there is no reason to be concerned about water getting into the electronic components inside.

In order for Ivy to access the network for the first time, you need to scan the QR code displayed by the app on the screen when waking it up for the first time.

By scanning the plants with the Ivy app, Ivy will be able to identify their species; in the case if it cannot identify, it will offer you the option to manually adjust the settings.

How it works: Scan the QR code – Access the network – Scan the plant – Identify the plant species – Finish

The intelligence of Ivy results from its use of a plant behavior tree. As Ivy learns through machine learning, it will become increasingly intelligent and sophisticated.

By connecting to a network, Ivy can perform its own OTA system updates. With time, the support for more plant species will grow, the number of expressions will increase, and the behavior tree will grow exponentially, making the planter even smarter.

 

We are a young and energetic team with five years of intensive research experience on plants and AIOT. Prior to the creation of Ivy, we focused on automation of plant raising on vertical surfaces, and developed large plant walls, plant screens for offices, and wall gardens for use at home. It has always been our dream to make plants into pet animals, just like the dog in the movie Up. Our products flip the idea of growing plants, with your support, we will bring Ivy to the world and revolutionize gardening.
