Show HN: Vet Turned Founder, AI Lawn Diagnosis

https://grassdx.com/
2•andrewbr•1h ago
I know, it's kind of weird. What is a veterinarian doing creating an analysis tool for lawn problems?

Frankly, the idea was born of my own lawn care struggles. Endless lawn care company fees without any actual improvement. Googling problems and finding generic solutions without regional considerations. One time I overseeded my grass not realizing I had to actually put soil down too.

One day, I decided to run lawn pictures through AI and found some pretty helpful information. So I decided with my clinical background (the idea of treating the cause, not just the symptoms), as well as tech savvy, I would create an AI tool where homeowners can upload pictures of their lawn, enter their ZIP code, and get a diagnosis tailored to their location with actionable next steps in just 15 seconds.

Completely free. The platform is monetized with affiliate sales (if a user elects to purchase through one of our Amazon or other links) and by selling exclusive rights to individual ZIP codes to lawn care companies seeking warm leads. Users can pursue their own DIY plan, purchase a lawn care subscription service, or contact a local lawn care system.

I'd love if you'd test it out, toy with it, try to break it, and give me your feedback. Any feature requests would be super helpful.

Thanks! Excited to hear your thoughts.

Andrew
