Inspiration
Pet owners forget what happened between vet visits. Symptoms, appetite changes, and mood shifts live in camera rolls and scattered chats — so vets hear incomplete stories and owners feel anxious.
We built PetPulse so logging takes seconds and remembering takes zero effort.
What it does
- Quick log: Photo + short note or voice memo
- Smart timeline: Gemini tags meals, behavior, symptoms, and meds
- Weekly digest: Plain-language recap every Sunday
- Gentle nudges: Optional alerts when patterns repeat (never a diagnosis)
- Vet prep pack (Pro): PDF summary before appointments
Important: PetPulse is not veterinary medical advice. Always consult a licensed veterinarian.
How we built it
- Google Gemini — multimodal parsing of photos/notes; summaries and alerts
- Google Cloud Run — API and agent workflows
- Firebase — Auth, Firestore, hosting
- Cloud Scheduler — automated weekly digests
The product is AI-native: classification, summarization, scheduling, and export generation run in production without manual copywriting.
AI vs humans
| AI | Humans |
|---|---|
| Tags entries, writes digests & nudges | Policy, disclaimers, safety rules |
| Schedules & sends weekly emails | Billing, support, abuse |
| Generates vet-export PDFs | Tune alert thresholds |
Challenges
- Balancing helpful nudges without sounding like medical diagnosis
- Structured output reliability from messy owner notes
- Privacy and trust for sensitive pet health data
What's next
