AI Features

AI leaf generation

The AI leaf wizard helps you discover and create leaves based on your interests. Start a conversation with the AI from the Grow page in your dashboard. The AI will ask you about your passions and interests, then propose a well-structured leaf with a name, description, and suggested theme.

You're always in control — review and edit any AI suggestions before creating your leaf.

AI theme generation

When creating or editing a leaf, you can generate a custom visual theme using AI. The theme generator analyses your leaf's topic and creates a cohesive design including:

• Colour palette (primary, accent, background, surface, text colours)
• Font pairing (heading and body fonts from a curated selection)
• Visual ambiance (clean, editorial, atmospheric, retro, or bold-modern)
• Layout style (header, post display, border radius, shadows)
• Micro-interactions (hover effects, scroll reveals, cursor effects)
• Background effects (grain texture, gradient orbs, dot grids)

You can provide colour hints and even upload an inspiration image for the AI to draw palette cues from. Generated themes are automatically validated for accessibility compliance (WCAG AA contrast ratios).

AI content drafting

AI can help you draft posts and pages for your leaves. When creating a new post or page, use the AI assistant to generate a starting draft based on your topic and preferences. You can specify the tone, length, and style you want.

Quick updates let you rapidly publish content to the right leaf — describe what you want to share and AI will match it to the appropriate leaf and format it.

AI chat refinement

After creating a leaf, you can use the AI chat to refine your content through conversation. Ask the AI to help you brainstorm ideas, improve descriptions, or suggest new directions for your leaf.

How AI-generated content is labelled

Anything made with the AI tools — a drafted post or page, a Quick Update, a leaf grown by the wizard, a generated logo — is marked AI-generated where it is shown, on both crann.ai and crann.me. The label is set when you use the tool and stays on that content; it cannot be removed. Generated logos also carry an AI marker inside the image file, and the API reports an aiGenerated flag so apps can show it too. Content you write yourself is never labelled.

Two doors: crann.ai and crann.me

crann.me is the same community with every AI generation tool switched off: no AI drafting, wizard, theme or logo generation, and no AI auto-tagging. On crann.ai you can also switch AI generation off for your own account under Settings. Accounts, leaves and connections are shared, so you can read and talk across both. Content made with AI on crann.ai still appears on crann.me, labelled. Safety moderation of what people post runs on both.

Privacy and data

AI features are powered by Anthropic's Claude. When you use AI features, your prompts and relevant context (leaf name, description) are sent to Anthropic for processing. Important privacy details:

• Anthropic does not use your data to train their AI models
• Your content is processed only to generate the requested output
• AI features are entirely optional — you can create and manage all content manually
• For more details, see our Privacy Policy

Your responsibility

AI outputs are tools to help you create content. You are responsible for reviewing, editing, and approving all AI-generated content before publishing it. We do not guarantee the accuracy or appropriateness of AI outputs. Always review AI suggestions before making them public.
