Bonsivo

Bonsivo is a visual styling tool for bonsai trees. It turns one photograph of a tree into four AI-generated future styling directions, letting owners and practitioners compare options before an irreversible cut. It is aimed at bonsai hobbyists, collectors and practitioners discussing a styling decision.

A user uploads one clear front-facing photo, selects a styling direction such as Formal Upright, Informal Upright, Cascade, Windswept, Broom or Literati, chooses a 1, 3 or 5-year visual horizon, and picks a tree-only, in-pot or show-display presentation. Bonsivo returns four concepts anchored to the visible trunk, root base and branch structure in about 90 seconds.

The result can be downloaded as individual images, a before-and-after comparison, or a four-up overview. Bonsivo does not identify species, diagnose health, recommend care, select a pot, or produce an exact pruning and wiring map; it is visual inspiration rather than a growth forecast or horticultural instruction.

The first direction preview is free in low resolution. Paid credit packs are one-time purchases: 5 concept sets for $6.99, 20 for $14.99, and 50 for $24.99, with each credit producing four future directions; credits expire 365 days after purchase and there is no subscription.

Use cases

• Exploring a first major styling direction before cutting

• Evaluating raw nursery stock or pre-bonsai material
• Sharing one concept board to discuss with a mentor
