o42

What it does

o42 (pronounced "oh-forty-two") is an Artificial Intelligence that is designed to help "explorers" understand the state of their local ecosystems through interactive learning experiences and citizen science. It operates on a smartphone, providing users with engaging tasks and activities that promote environmental awareness and sustainability. o42 uses Gemini API in several ways:
1. Knowledge retrieval: When a user selects a path (Earth, Energy, Water, or Life), the app uses Gemini to research public documents around sustainability programs related to that path. This provides context and helps users understand the relevance of their activities.
2. Task Generation: The LLM is used to generate tasks tailored to each selected path in order to gather training data to use in refining machine learning models and also promote environmental awareness, sustainability and wellbeing.
3. Image Recognition: We use Gemini to recognize flora and fauna and to filter images that are relevant and useful for A.I. models.
4. Bioacoustics: o42 uses Gemini's multi modal capabilities to classify sounds to identify fauna.
5. Contextual Information: o42 provides a context rich window to tailor each quest in order to safeguard the wellbeing of the user and also provide more accurate results, by factoring in weather, locality and time of day.
