Siwalu

Siwalu offers AI-powered image recognition technology, and its mobile apps let people learn about and identify animal breeds. The apps are designed to increase people's knowledge about the world's biodiversity and provide a fun, interactive way to learn about the characteristics and traits of pets.

Siwalu has several apps for different animal species:

• Dog Scanner: Recognizes more than 370 dog breeds, including mixed-breed dogs.
• Cat Scanner: Recognizes 60 breeds of cats, including mixed-breed cats.
• Horse Scanner: Recognizes about 160 breeds of horses.

The apps let you take a photo or select one from your phone's photo gallery to get a quick identification of the animal's breed. Results are delivered in seconds, with detailed information about the breed and its characteristics. You can even scan yourself or your friends to see which animals you look like.

Features include:

• Gamification: Catch all the breeds like in Pokémon Go, earning virtual treats and competing against other players.
• Social Feed: Share your results and compare with others.
• Offline Mode: You don't need a network connection to scan.
• Premium Features: Remove ads, get faster results and set the scanning mode to fast or accurate.

Siwalu says it's working on improving the apps with regular updates and refinements based on user feedback. The company also has a partnership with Snapchat that lets people figure out dog breeds right in the Snapchat Camera.

Siwalu's apps are free to download on Android and iOS devices. For those who want to pay to avoid ads and get other features, premium subscriptions are available as in-app purchases.
