Venaka Treleaf GbR has released Woode, a free mobile application that lets users photograph a leaf, bark or flower and receive an instant species ID plus region-specific biodiversity facts. The launch moves research outputs from the EU-funded SILVANUS project out of the lab and into the hands of citizen scientists, educators and nature enthusiasts across Europe.
Built with AI ORA Expertise
The core AI model and user workflow were created by AI ORA’s Lead AI Engineer, Krishna Chandramouli. AI ORA supported Venaka Treleaf in securing cloud infrastructure, orchestrating GPU resources, integrating backend APIs and embedding responsible governance measures. This partnership ensured the app met high standards for ethics and compliance before public release.
Why Organisational Readiness Matters
Woode shows that successful AI adoption depends on secure infrastructure, well defined operational processes and a culture of continuous learning. By coupling technical innovation with organisational readiness the team converted research outputs into a practical tool that supports biodiversity monitoring.
