Your intelligent assistant

Bird app with built-in AI features

With SeaTable, you benefit from powerful, integrated AI-supported automations . This extends your bird app with smart helpers for nature observation, your sightings log and photo documentation, GDPR-compliant and with our own AI server in Germany, so your observation data always stays protected.

Condense observations

Automatically summarize longer notes from your birdwatching into short, easy-to-read overviews. Ideal when you document many sightings, identify birds with an app and later want to quickly retrace when, where and under which conditions a bird was observed.

Sort species automatically

Let AI classify observations, photos and free text, for example by habitat, behavior pattern or observation situation. This brings structure to your bird app, lets you identify native birds, compare photos better and filter your species list faster by relevant criteria.

Extract the key details

Automatically extract useful data from free text, such as location, weather, time or behaviors. This turns loose observation notes into an analyzable sightings log that helps you identify an unknown bird and prepare observations cleanly for later analysis.

Read text from PDFs safely

Use OCR to automatically extract text from screenshots, PDFs or scanned documents and transfer it into the right fields of your bird app. This way you import observation lists, locations or notes into your sightings log without retyping content manually.

Apply your own AI rules

Use Custom Prompts to define individual rules for your birdwatching, for example to rate sighting quality, detect typical patterns or structure free descriptions. This tailors your personalized bird app even more precisely to how you work in ornithology.

Observations in any language

Automatically translate notes, species names or descriptions when you work with international sources or share observations. Handy for nature photographers, citizen science and anyone who wants to identify birds and merge information from several languages into one bird app.
