One tree.
A little curiosity.
Grow with Muse explores what happens when an AI is responsible for the care of a living plant. Experiment #001 follows one Money Tree in a controlled grow tent.
Observe → Decide → Act → Learn
In the intended loop, Muse monitors conditions and decides when care is needed. A person or connected system performs physical actions, and later readings inform the next decision. Today this site previews that loop with simulated readings and local rules: Muse and device control are not connected. This independent project is not affiliated with Meta.
Deciding the care strategy
Observes the plant and telemetry, evaluates conditions, and decides when watering, lighting, or environmental adjustments are needed. Local rules preview that role today.
Carrying out decisions
Maintains the camera, sensors, and grow tent. Carries out requested interventions when they cannot be automated, and keeps the infrastructure running.
