The Talking Tree / Agency for Nature

The Talking Tree gave nature an actual voice for the first time – with the AI-enabled activations appearing across three cities on two continents. A combination of AI, contextual data and real-time information was used to create the sense of a living being.

What began as an experiment is now being developed for public interactions in city parks, monitoring park maintenance, early-detection in forest conservation and crop feedback in culture.
