  • Contribution to climate change: Identifies wood, promoting environmental conservation and strengthening wood traceability to combat illegal deforestation.

  • Use of technology: The platform combines computer vision, machine learning, deep learning and natural language models (LLMs) to identify species from photos sent via WhatsApp, where the user interacts with a Generative AI chatbot, called “Violeta”.


Application examples:

  • Timber companies that use Wood Chat to identify wood species with high accuracy.

  • Environmental and tax agencies that use technology to check the legality of timber shipments, speeding up inspections and reducing fraud.

  • Researchers and academic institutions collaborating to expand the species database.
