How we would use AI

AI advises. People decide.

AI would help with the typing and the checking. It would never approve an adoption, diagnose an illness or hide a bite history.

A person decides every adoption
A vet makes every medical decision
Anything unknown says "Not provided"

Four jobs for AI, and their limits

Full AI Specification →
JOB 01What it would do

Drafting listings from notes

You give:

Photos, a vet’s discharge note, a quick voice memo.

You get:

A draft listing. Anything you did not say is marked "Not provided".

It never adds traits, guesses a breed or hides a warning. A person checks the draft.
JOB 02What it would do

Suggesting animals that fit

You give:

Your answers: work hours, garden, stairs, other pets.

You get:

Animals that might suit you, and why.

It suggests. The shelter decides.
JOB 03What it would do

Showing it in your language

You give:

Notes written in any language.

You get:

The same notes in the reader’s language.

The original stays one tap away. It never changes a vet’s words.
JOB 04What it would do

Flagging listings that look risky

You give:

Listings, photos and reports.

You get:

A flag on copied photos, repeat reports or deposit requests.

A flag is not a verdict. A person looks at every one.

The problem

Why we would not let a chatbot match animals.

Chatbots like to please. Ask "is this dog good with my 2-year-old?" and one might say "Yes, these dogs are known to be gentle!" with nothing to back it up. That hallucination can result in a severe dog bite, emergency euthanasia, and trauma for a child.

What we would do:

AI on Rehome would only sort notes people wrote into the right places. If nobody recorded something, it says “Not provided”. No guessing, no flattering words, and no decisions about adoptions.

An example

Notes in, listing out

What a volunteer says, and the draft listing we would make from it. Nothing added.

What the volunteer said:

“Hey, bringing in a lurcher cross from the south ditch. Maybe 2 years old, male, super sweet on the leash, loves hot dogs. Had a minor tick on his ear, pulled it off. Didn’t bark at the sheep in the next field, but definitely pulled hard when he saw a squirrel. Crate was quiet in the van.”

The draft listing:
Animal and age: Lurcher cross, about 2 years old, male, not neutered.
Health: A tick was removed from his ear. Needs tick treatment.
What excites him: Pulls hard after squirrels. Calm near sheep.
Not known yet:• With cats: not provided
• With toddlers: not provided
• Microchip: not provided (not scanned yet)
Never

What AI would never do here

Approve or turn down an adoption.
Diagnose an illness or suggest a treatment.
Guess what an animal is like, such as saying a dog is fine with toddlers when nobody has seen it.
Write a cheerful description that hides a warning, like guarding food or reacting at fences.
Sell what you search for, or your pet’s details, to advertisers.

It would draft listings from notes, point out missing safety details, spot repeat reports and translate. A person checks everything. It never decides where an animal goes.
