PetTranslator.ai

A scientific instrument for pet owners

Know what your pet is actually
trying to say.

Upload one photo. A multimodal AI documents body language, vocal context, and posture the way a board-certified behaviorist would — then translates it into plain English with an owner action plan you can use today.

No credit card · No signup for the first analysis · AVSAB-aligned

§ 01 · The premise

Most "pet translator" apps are entertainment products — cartoon translations that monetize through weekly-trial rugpulls. We built the opposite: a clinical instrument that documents what it sees in your pet's body language, weighs the context you provide, and returns the kind of analysis a board-certified behaviorist would write in a session note.

§ 02 · How we think about it

Three principles, applied strictly.

i.

Observation before interpretation.

The model documents tail carriage, ear angle, jaw tension, pupil dilation, posture, and vocal context first — then reasons from there. No cartoon mind-reading. Every report shows the markers it found.

ii.

Honest confidence, never inflated.

Every report carries a confidence score calibrated against signal clarity. Short clip, poor lighting, ambiguous markers — you'll see a lower number, not a confident guess.

iii.

Behavior, not medicine.

If the AI sees signs of pain, illness, or distress that need a veterinarian, it stops and tells you. We are emphatically not a diagnostic tool — and we say so out loud.

§ 03 · Specimen report

This is what a real analysis looks like.

Not "Woof! Feed me!" cartoons. Behavioral signals, mapped to recommendations you can act on today.

Confidence

High

92% signal agreement

Decoded intent

"This dog appears uncertain and overwhelmed by what's in front of it. The posture suggests holding tension in case of escape need, while displacement signals (yawn, lip-lick) attempt self-regulation. Body language reads: needs space, not engagement."

Owner action plan

This dog is exhibiting classic displacement signals — they're approaching their emotional threshold. Avoid direct eye contact, don't lean over them, give a quiet exit route. Don't force interaction with whatever is currently in front of them.

Observed biometric cues

  1. 01Lip-licking absent of food proximity
  2. 02Yawning as physiological displacement
  3. 03Whale-eye with sclera visible at corners
  4. 04Tense jaw with tight commissures
  5. 05Low-amplitude wag held below spine
  6. 06Weight shifted back away from stimulus

§ 04 · The process

Three chapters, about ten seconds.

Chapter I — Upload

Snap. Or import.

One clear photo of your dog or cat, from your phone or camera roll. No app to install. Works on every modern browser.

Chapter II — Context

One sentence changes everything.

"Whining near the front door" means something different from "whining at an empty food bowl." The AI weighs your context, but the physical signals lead.

Chapter III — Read

The report, delivered.

Instant observations, behavioral interpretation, confidence score, Do/Avoid action plan — in about ten seconds. PDF-exportable on Premium.

§ 06 · Common questions

You're right to ask.

Is this actually scientific or is the AI making things up?+

We use multimodal AI prompted with published animal behavioral science. The model identifies physical markers (tail carriage, ear position, jaw tension, posture, lip line) BEFORE generating an interpretation. Every report includes a confidence score calibrated against signal clarity, so you know how clear the read was.

Is this a replacement for a vet?+

Categorically not. PetTranslator.ai is a behavioral analysis tool, not a medical diagnostic. If your pet shows signs of pain, illness, or sudden behavioral change, see a licensed veterinarian. Our PDF export is designed to help that conversation, not replace it.

What pets does it work with?+

Dogs and cats are fully supported. Other companion animals (rabbits, birds, small mammals) follow — we want them right before we ship them.

How is my pet's video used?+

Processed by Anthropic Claude under enterprise privacy terms — your content is never used for AI model training. We do not sell, share, or publish your uploads. You can delete any analysis at any time.

What about dominance theory or alpha training?+

We reject both. AVSAB has explicitly rejected dominance-based training, and the peer-reviewed evidence (Herron 2009, Hiby 2004, China 2020) shows aversive methods increase aggression and worsen behavioral outcomes. Every report is force-free, AVSAB-aligned, and references credentialed behaviorist methodology when professional referral is appropriate.

Is there an iOS / Android app?+

Not yet. The web app works on every modern phone and desktop browser. We'll add native apps once we know which features owners use most.
