Listening to birds with AI: a biodiversity experiment
Running Apple Watch field recordings through Google DeepMind's Perch model to see whether consumer devices can feed research-grade biodiversity data.
Theme 05
Experiments and Concepts
Hands-on experiments, each one a concept rather than a product: a Climate Action Profile for LCA discovery, listening to birds with an open AI model, an emissions targets explorer and a tiny patio garden helper. Building them is how the questions in the other themes got sharper.

Common questions
- Are these experiments live products?
- No. They are concepts and learning prototypes. Most of the data in them is hardcoded, and each page says how far it is from production.
- What is a Climate Action Profile?
- A concept where an LCA consultant enters their role, sector and use case, uploads the information they already have and gets back a starting point for an action plan.
