# Ollie the Owl: WildPipe's AI Wildlife Watch

> "I watch every trail-camera photo so you don’t have to."

Ollie is your wildlife watch. He looks at every new trail-camera photo on your jobs, flags possible captures for a person to confirm, and spots equipment that needs attention.

## What Ollie does
- Looks at every new trail-camera photo on your jobs
- Spots a possible trapped animal and asks you to confirm with one tap
- Knows when a small animal can slip out of a large trap
- Flags traps that need resetting or rebaiting, and cameras knocked over or blocked
- Watches camera batteries and cameras that stop sending photos
- Checks in with customers when a job goes quiet

## A day with Ollie
### 5:48 AM: A photo arrives
A trail camera on a trap sends a new photo. Ollie checks whether an animal is actually inside, and whether it is small enough to slip out of that trap.

### 5:49 AM: You confirm with one tap
A possible capture shows up in Camera Watch. Someone on your team taps Yes and a pickup is created.

### 1:30 PM: A camera needs care
A knocked-over camera, a low battery or a trap that needs resetting shows up as its own item, not buried in a stack of photos.

### Day 4: A quiet job gets a check-in
When a job has had no activity for a while, Ollie can text the customer to ask what they are seeing, if you turn it on.

## Where Ollie works in WildPipe
- [Cameras & Traps](https://wildpipe.com/features/cameras-traps): Reviews every trail-camera photo on your jobs and flags captures and equipment problems.
- [Job Management](https://wildpipe.com/features/jobs): Saves what he found on the job, next to the traps, cameras and visits.

## You stay in charge
A person confirms every capture before a pickup is sent. It never dispatches on a guess.

- [Bea the Honeybee, Dispatcher](https://wildpipe.com/ai-team/dispatcher): Pickups you confirm go straight to Bea for the route.

## Frequently asked questions
### Will Ollie send a tech on a guess?
No. A person on your team confirms every capture before a pickup is sent.

### Does he know a mouse is not a raccoon?
Yes. He knows when a small animal can slip out of a large trap, so it is not treated as a pickup.
