Arborist AI

Alex, the AI that reads trees.

It reads the whole record for the arborist in ArbKeep Pro, and one photo for the homeowner in CanopyKeep.

Alex in ArbKeep Pro

It has read the chart.

So the draft is a differential, not a verdict: what it is, what it isn't, and why.

What an arborist can hand it

Four jobs, all of them drafts.

Diagnose from a photo
Bug, spot, canker, dieback. Alex reads the photo against the host, the season and the tree's record, and drafts a differential you confirm at the tree. More on diagnostic PHC.
Read the lab PDF
Soil and tissue results come off the lab's PDF and into the form for you to check. Nothing saves until you confirm, and you can always type them yourself.
Answer from your book
Ask about a property or a tree and the answer comes from its record: soil chemistry, field tests and prior findings. See the record it reads.
Draft the paperwork
Visit notes, care plans and quotes at your rates, and the pesticide application record for the applicator to sign.
The mark

Alex's face is a tree, cut across.

Arborists learned to read trees by looking inside, where every wound and hard season is written in the rings. So the AI that reads a tree's record wears a cross-section: rings, a pith that leans toward the light, a drought year pinched tight.

In ArbKeep Pro each account grows its own, and it never changes.

Asked first

What people ask about AI and trees.

Is there an AI built for arborists?
Yes. Alex is the AI in ArbKeep Pro, plant health care software for independent arborists. It works from the records you already keep: each tree's chart, the property's soil and tissue results, and your past visits.
Can AI diagnose a tree from a photo?
It can draft a diagnosis. A photo alone gives any model little to go on, so in ArbKeep Pro Alex reads it against the host, the season and the tree's record, and returns a differential: the likely cause, what it considered and ruled out, and why. You confirm it at the tree.
Will AI replace arborists?
No. A model can't walk the property, sound a trunk or stand behind a risk call. Alex drafts; the arborist decides and signs. It never hands a client a verdict you didn't sign.
Is it the same Alex in ArbKeep Pro and CanopyKeep?
Yes: one name and one job, which is to read the tree and say plainly what it sees. What changes is what it has to read. In CanopyKeep that is one photo and what you tell it. In ArbKeep Pro it is the tree's chart, the soil and tissue results and every prior visit, so the draft goes further.
Is Alex an extra charge?
No. In ArbKeep Pro, Alex is included in the one plan, which is free for 14 days with no card to start. In CanopyKeep, Alex is free. See pricing.
I'm a homeowner with a tree. Is this for me?
Yes, in CanopyKeep. It is free and needs no account: one photo gets a named diagnosis, how urgent it is and what to do next, and you can ask Alex your follow-up questions. When a tree needs a professional, it can route the case to a local arborist.
