I build Cat360, a health tracker for cats. Every competitor is adding AI checkers and gamification right now. I didn't.
My reasoning: it's an app with one specific job, and everyone already has AI in their pocket if they want it. Also, if the app guesses at diagnoses, no vet will ever recommend it. I'd rather it record well and hand a clean history to the person who's actually qualified.
The counter-argument I keep hearing is that users expect AI now, and without it you look dated no matter how good the app is.
What do people think, especially anyone building in health or anywhere being wrong has a cost? Is "no AI" a real position, or do I just lose to whoever ships the chatbot?
Built by a cat owner for cat owners, Cat360 manages multiple cats' daily health,records, tasks, meds, and chronic illnesses like CKD and diabetes. In 60 seconds, log meals, litter, mood, and weight. Flag pain early, sync with sitters, and export reports for vets.
