ShotLogic is an AI-powered photography coach that gives you the right camera settings and techniques for any scene โ€” personalized to the gear you actually own. SNAP & ASK Point your camera at any scene โ€” a sunset, a street corner at night, a macro subject โ€” and tap Snap & Ask. ShotLogic's AI analyzes the lighting, subject, and environment, then tells you the exact aperture, shutter speed, ISO, and technique to nail the shot. It's like having a professional photographer looking over your shoulder. GEAR-AWARE ADVICE Add your camera bodies, lenses, and accessories to your profile. Every recommendation is tailored to what you actually carry โ€” no more generic tips for gear you don't own. 40+ SHOT CARDS Browse a growing library of original Shot Cards covering macro, portrait, wildlife, landscape, long exposure, architecture, action, astrophotography, and more. Each card includes recommended settings, techniques, and difficulty level. Filter by category, save your favorites, and use them as quick reference in the field. AI COACH CHAT Ask any photography question in plain English โ€” "How do I shoot the northern lights?" or "Best settings for indoor portraits with window light." Get detailed, conversational answers grounded in real photographic knowledge, not generic AI filler. PIN A CARD FOR CONTEXT Working on a specific technique? Pin a Shot Card in the AI Coach tab and every follow-up question gets answered in that context โ€” like having a tutor focused on exactly what you're practicing. CAPTIONS & SHARING After Snap & Ask analyzes your photo, generate a social media caption with one tap โ€” then share the photo and caption directly via the Share Sheet. SIRI SHORTCUT Ask ShotLogic for photography help hands-free with the built-in Siri shortcut. Perfect when you're already holding your camera.
