Usage

The plugin processes natural language queries about your bird detection data. Example queries:

• “My BirdNET heard a Swainson’s Thrush - is that unusual?”
• “What’s my station’s rarest detection this week?”
• “Graph my detections by time of day”
• “Are others seeing these warblers on eBird?”

• Only uses actual API response data
• Never creates example or estimated data
• Always shows observation counts with percentages
• Clear indication when data is unavailable
