Earth Species Project is a nonprofit building AI models to decode animal communication across species, not a commercial product.
What it does
Earth Species Project (ESP) is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit research organization using advanced AI to decode non-human animal communication. It builds large audio-language models — including its flagship NatureLM-audio — to detect, classify and analyze animal vocalizations from species like crows, whales and elephants, in partnership with biologists. Its aim is scientific understanding and conservation, not a paid tool.
Core features
