🐾 The Pupdate #1 — Meet Scout AI ✨: Your Dog-Care Co-Pilot

💬 From the team: Today we’re introducing Scout AI (Artificial Intelligence) — a friendly, helpful assistant inside Furry Fitness that makes dog care simpler, smarter, and more consistent.

Updated over 2 months ago

🤖 What is Scout AI (Artificial Intelligence)?

Scout AI is your in-app guide for everyday dog care — from reminders and journaling prompts to practical tips based on your dog’s unique patterns.

Think of Scout as a calm co-pilot who helps you stay on top of the small daily routines that add up to a healthier, happier dog.

Scout is built around one key principle: adaptive journaling.

That means Scout learns from how (and what) you log — adapting its prompts and suggestions to match your dog’s routine.

If you log feeding, exercise, or stool entries often, Scout can highlight trends or gently remind you when something seems off or missing.


🗺️ How Scout Rolls Out (Step by Step)

We’re introducing Scout in phases to make sure each part feels helpful and natural to use.

Phase 1 (Now): Core Assist

  • Smart reminders for feeding and routine care

  • 📝 Guided journaling for feeding and stool logs

  • 💬 Simple tips based on what you log

Phase 2 (Next): Adaptive Journaling Begins

  • 🔄 Context-aware prompts — Scout adapts to your habits and timing

  • 💡 Trend-based nudges — gentle alerts if patterns change (e.g., skipped meal, looser stool)

  • 🧩 Quick actions — one-tap journaling (“Log feeding now”)

Phase 3 (Later): Deeper Guidance

  • 📊 Weekly summaries of health and routines

  • 🧠 Personalized insights — balanced, data-based suggestions for care improvements

  • 🐕 Expanded coverage — vet visits, activity, mood, and more

📣 Each new ability will be announced in The Pupdate 🐾 – What’s New in Furry Fitness, so you’ll always know what Scout can do today.


✨ What Scout Can Do Today

  • Feeding Assist

    Helps you create feeding reminders, log meals quickly, and keeps records consistent.

  • Stool Tracking Assist

    Guides you through the Bristol Stool Scale (BSS) — a 1–7 scale describing stool form — and offers light advice on fiber and consistency.

🧠 Important: Scout’s guidance is educational, not diagnostic. For any health concern, consult your veterinarian.


📱 How to Use Scout (Inside the App)

  1. Open Furry Fitness → Health to explore Stool Tracker with Scout’s prompts.
