PlantIn is a mobile and web application for plant identification and care, developed in Ukraine by Mykhaylo and Dmytro Grynets in 2020.[1] The service is part of the Genesis technology ecosystem.[2] The app uses artificial intelligence and machine learning to identify plant and fungi species from photos and provides general care advice.
History
[edit]PlantIn was launched in 2020 by brothers Mykhaylo and Dmytro Grynets.[3] The first versions included basic information and reminders for watering and maintenance. Later, the app introduced photo-based plant identification powered by machine learning.[3]
After early development, the project joined the Genesis ecosystem, a Ukrainian technology group that supports digital startups.[4] The company also develops other products that use machine learning. In 2023, they launched a coin identification tool called CoinIn.[5]
Platforms
[edit]The first version of PlantIn was released for iOS devices in 2020.[4] Currently, it's available in 20 languages.[6] An Android version and a web platform were later introduced. The web and mobile versions provide similar functionality, including plant identification, condition analysis, and care tracking.[7]
Collaborations
[edit]In October 2023, the company became an official partner of the Ukrainian Athletic Federation (Ukrainian: Федерація легкої атлетики України, ФЛАУ).[8] The collaboration focuses on infrastructure support, digital operations, and software development for training and competition management.
Between May and June 2025, it organized the Plant Hero Academy, a free educational series on plants and botany in partnership with Indoor Garden Market, Harden Garden, and Plant Cell Technology.[9]
In December 2025, PlantIn created a new official website for the National Olympic Committee of Ukraine (Ukrainian: Національний олімпійський комітет України, НОК України). The project was carried out on a voluntary basis. It included changes to the site structure and the restoration of archived content dating back to 2000.[10] Following the relaunch, the NOC of Ukraine's website received the Website of the Year for Sports Organization award at the SBC Ukraine Awards 2025, with PlantIn acknowledged as a project partner.[11]
