Windowsill
A geo-climate edible plant recommendation tool for reading what might grow at a specific location, orientation, context, and week.
Windowsill is an API-first open plant data project. The TID surface sends a selected location, growing context, window orientation, start type, and current week to the Windowsill API, then returns plant recommendations with visible limits.
The project combines climate data, plant variety records, AI-assisted contribution workflows, human review direction, source hierarchy, uncertainty notes, and a public API contract.
Growing recommendation, not guarantee. The tool uses historical climate averages and astronomical sun calculation; it does not see building shade, indoor temperature, soil, container size, watering, pests, or local microclimate.
A place, not generic advice
The tool asks where the plant will actually live: a windowsill, balcony, or garden at a specific coordinate and orientation.
API-first plant data
The TID surface is a client of the Windowsill API. The plant library and contribution workflow are the core system.
Add a plant with ChatGPT
The live tool includes a copy-paste research prompt. Pick one missing plant, ask ChatGPT for a source-backed Windowsill research pack, then send the pack to api@windowsill.dk for human review.
Visible limits
Recommendations show fit and timing, but the tool keeps microclimate, safety, source quality, and uncertainty boundaries visible.
