Poppy, your pocket photo coach
Poppy is an AI photo coach I built from what I teach as a photographer. Tell her your camera and what you are shooting. She tells you exactly what to change, in plain words, before the game, the tree or the first day of school.

Example conversations. Yours is built around your camera and your family.
It is 6:40 on a Friday night. The gym is dim, the game starts in ten minutes and your camera is on auto.
You could sign up for a photography course. You could search YouTube and watch a stranger explain f-stops. Or you could shoot four hundred blurry photos and decide you are not a camera person.
Some gyms are so dark that my ISO was already as high as it would go, and I still had to work out what to change. That is when a quick answer helps.
A guide cannot give you one. It does not know your camera, your gym or your kid.
Poppy asks first. Then she tells you what to touch.

Three steps. About five minutes.
You get her right after you buy. She is one small file.
Open Claude or ChatGPT, attach the file and send it. The download page walks you through it. It takes about two minutes.
She starts with a brain dump. Your camera, your kids, your gym, the photo you wish you had. Messy is fine. Type it or talk it.
Turn the dial to Tv and set the shutter to 1/1000 or faster. Turn Auto ISO on. Open the lens as wide as it goes. Look at the meter bar before you shoot, and aim just below the middle.
Then take a few test shots during warm-ups and check the jerseys. That is the kind of answer Poppy gives you, tuned to your camera.

I'm a photographer and a mom of four. I have spent years on sidelines with a camera. First it was Friday night football, under the lights, like clockwork. Now it is volleyball, and my daughter just started her first year.
I built Poppy because the best time to ask a photographer a question is the moment you are standing there with the camera. I cannot be in every gym or at every Christmas morning. Poppy can ride along in your pocket.
Everything she knows comes from what I teach. I wrote it, and I keep my own rules in it.
Poppy is an AI helper, and she tells you that in her first message. She is not me, and she cannot see your camera screen. So she asks.
If she is not sure where a setting lives on your exact model, she says so and sends you to the manual instead of guessing. She stays on photography. She does not ask for your last name or address.
Your chats happen in your own Claude or ChatGPT account. I never see them.
