SpiderAI helps you to identify spiders in your environment. The application provides general information, including how venomous a spider is, thus allowing you to discern how dangerous a spider may be. Once you provide the application a picture from your phone’s camera or photo library it uses a neural network to automatically classify your spider. This classification is an estimate provided by the network and will be subject to error.

The application also provides general information on the classified spider (along with all spiders in the SpiderAI database) including a picture, Wikipedia description, and potential threat information. Material presented on the application is for entertainment value and should not be construed as usable for medical advice (regarding bites, etc.). Please consult licensed professionals for such information.

The application also provides connectivity to iNaturalist so that you can share your spider observations with the broader community. Submitted spiders provide more data, which in turn improves the classification performance of SpiderAI.
