Closed test · Android

Help test Canopy AI before launch.

Canopy AI is in its last stretch before Google Play. Google asks a new app to be tested by real people for two weeks before it can be released to everyone — and we'd like those people to be gardeners.

What we ask

  • An Android phone with the Play Store, and a Google (Gmail) account.
  • Keep Canopy AI installed for at least 14 days — Google counts every day you stay opted in.
  • Use it on your own garden: draw a bed, plan a crop, record what you do.
  • Tell us what breaks or confuses you. A sentence is plenty.

What you get

  • Canopy AI before anyone else, on your own garden.
  • Pro's planning features free for your account's first 60 days, like every new account.
  • A direct line to the person building it — what you report gets read and fixed.

    Install and grow

    Install Canopy AI with the same account, create your account in the app, and start with one bed. Keep it installed for 14 days. (If the store says the app isn't available, step 02 hasn't taken yet — give it a few minutes.)

    Install from Google Play

Who’s building this

I’m Danney, a controls engineer by trade who gardens 10,000 sq ft in zone 4b Minnesota, and I build Canopy AI on my own. After years of losing garden notes to spreadsheets, failed drives and new phones, I built the planner I wanted: dated to your own frost, and engineered like the control systems I design at work. It is just getting started, and I read and answer every message at support@getcanopyai.com.

Know a gardener with an Android phone?

Most testers come through someone who already gardens. Send them this page — it says what to do. On an iPhone? The test is Android only for now, so passing it on is the best way to help.
