Fauna App Launch

Discover the wildlife around you and track every encounter

What it does

Most nature apps stop at identification. Fauna gets you outside to discover the wildlife around you. Catch 'em all in real life from your backyard to the other side of the world, and earn badges as your field journal grows! Explore what's blooming, migrating, and unfolding each month, plus the wildlife you can spot at every destination.

We were always frustrated by the little effort made towards building agentic models that run on budget phones, so we conducted investigations that led to an observation: agentic experiences are built upon tool calling, and massive models are overkill for it. Tool calling is fundamentally retrieval-and-assembly (match query to tool name, extract argument values, emit JSON), not reasoning. Cross-attention…
