17. Generate a finding with AI
If you wish, you can use Lumos’s artificial intelligence to generate the text of your finding based on the image or details you have started entering in the identification area. The system will analyze your image and try to generate the most accurate finding based on what it sees in the photo. For complex cases or unclear photos, we strongly recommend reviewing and adjusting the findings. In all cases, you are responsible for the content you produce for your clients.
