How Leafly Came to Be
The story behind our innovative smart plant care solution.
The Inspiration
Lucas and Gabriel met while studying engineering and bonded over their shared love for plants and technology. After experiencing the frustration of constantly forgetting to water their plants and seeing them wither away, they decided to create a solution that would make plant care effortless and accessible to everyone.
Research & Development
The journey began with extensive research into plant biology, soil science, and sensor technology. The team spent months prototyping different designs, testing various sensors, and refining the algorithms that would power Leafly's smart features. They worked closely with botanists and plant enthusiasts to ensure their solution addressed real pain points in plant care.
The Breakthrough
The turning point came when the team integrated AI technology into their design. By combining moisture sensors, light detection, and machine learning algorithms, they created a pot that could not only water plants automatically but also learn and adapt to each plant's specific needs over time. The addition of the AI positioning feature, which helps users find the optimal spot for their plants, was the final piece of the puzzle.
Looking Forward
Today, Leafly is preparing for its official launch in July 2025. The team continues to refine and enhance the product based on feedback from beta testers. They're excited to bring Leafly to plant lovers everywhere and help create greener, healthier living spaces. The vision extends beyond the initial product, with plans for an ecosystem of smart plant care solutions that will make it even easier for people to connect with nature in their homes.
