These answers explain what Trellis does today, how Viridia uses context, and what is intentionally not part of the MVP.
Frequently asked questions
What is Trellis?
Trellis is a garden planning and intelligence app that combines garden profiles, plans, plant placements, generated tasks, weather context, journal entries, and Viridia AI guidance.
What is Viridia?
Viridia is the Trellis AI garden guide. It answers questions using the garden context you select, including plans, tasks, weather, journal entries, and structured plant metadata when available.
Does Trellis use live weather?
Trellis can use ZIP-resolved coordinates to fetch Open-Meteo forecast context. Weather helps surface frost, heat, transplant, and watering cautions, and the app still works if weather is unavailable.
Are private gardens indexed by search engines?
No. Authenticated routes, dashboards, plans, journals, tasks, settings, API routes, and AI conversations are protected and marked noindex.
Does Viridia create or change tasks automatically?
No. In the MVP, deterministic Trellis task generation remains the source of truth. Viridia can explain context and suggest next steps, but it does not mutate garden records automatically.
