FlowerChecker is an Android app (not free, but very reasonable). You upload pictures and botanists will tell you what it is and provide a % of certainly. (Edit: the feedback isn't instant but they promise results in 24 hours. I think the longest wait I had was 8 hours.)

And more botanists will have time and resources to invest in areas AI can’t ever automate. I’m not sure what those areas are, since I’m not a botanist, but this is how I see AI impacting almost every field. Which AI model you recommend for botanic chatbot analysis?
