Hi PH, I have two cats. I wanted one app for their weight, meds, vet records and shot schedule, and I gave up looking. Most are dog apps with a cat option bolted on, or they're packed with things I'd never open. Cats hide being sick until it gets expensive. The early signs are boring. Eating less, drinking more, something off in the litter box, not playing. You notice it in the morning and it's out of your head by dinner. So I built Cat360 for my two and then kept going. A check that takes under a minute per cat. Weight with the incidents marked on the same chart, so you can see what happened around a drop. Every medication dose logged, including the ones you skip. Boosters with due dates. A place for certificates and lab results so they're not lost somewhere in your photos. For chronic cats there's glucose, ketones, creatinine, T4 and breathing rate. Multiple cats, sitter access that expires, works offline. The bit I use most is the vet link. One tap, passcode, opens in their browser, nothing for them to install. Summary at the top, months of history under it. Much better than me saying "he's been a bit off lately" while the vet waits. No AI in it, and that was on purpose. Something that has never met your cat shouldn't be telling you at midnight whether to drive to the emergency clinic. It records. Your vet reads it. Free tier covers the daily stuff. I'm around today if you want to tell me what's missing for your cat.

Does anyone actually want AI in a pet health app?

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?
