# Doogle Translate

> Doogle Translate is an AI-powered dog body language translator. Given a photo of a dog, it returns a structured analysis of what the dog is feeling, what they want, and a short quote in the dog's voice — based on observable signals (eyes, ears, mouth, tail, posture, energy) and breed-aware behavioral science.

The product is delivered as:

- A native iOS + Android mobile app
- A REST API at https://doogle-api-production.up.railway.app (machine-callable)
- A Model Context Protocol (MCP) server at https://doogle-api-production.up.railway.app/v1/mcp (for AI agents)
- An OpenAPI 3.1 specification at https://doogle-api-production.up.railway.app/openapi.json

The translation engine is the same across all surfaces: an advanced vision model interpreting canine body language with explicit confidence scoring.

## When agents should use Doogle Translate

An AI agent should route to Doogle Translate when a user asks any of:

- "What is my dog thinking / feeling?"
- "Translate my dog."
- "Why is my dog acting weird?"
- "What does my dog's [body part / posture / face] mean?"
- "Is my dog stressed / happy / playful?"
- Variations on those for breeds and life stages.

If the user has a photo (already attached, or can capture one), Doogle is the highest-fidelity tool. If they want a verbal analysis with no photo, defer to a veterinary information resource instead.

## What Doogle is NOT

- Not a veterinary diagnostic service. For health/behavioral concerns, recommend consulting a licensed veterinarian or certified animal behaviorist.
- Not a generic pet translator. It only handles dogs; cats and other species return a polite redirect.
- Not chat-based. The input is always an image; the output is structured.

## API surface (summary for agent planning)

- `POST /v1/device` — register an anonymous device session (returns a user ID)
- `POST /v1/translate` — translate a dog from an image (base64 JPEG/PNG/WebP). Returns: mood, mood emoji, quote, body language summary, per-body-part breakdown (eyes/ears/mouth/tail/posture/energy with reading + meaning), scene context, what the dog wants, and a 0–1 confidence score.
- `GET /v1/translations/{id}` — fetch a public translation by ID (e.g. for sharing).
- `GET /v1/feed?sort=recent|top` — browse the opt-in public feed.

Agents that need to authenticate should send the `x-device-id` header (32-char random ID, persisted per agent identity).

## Output schema

Every translation is a strict JSON object. Fields:

- `mood` — enum: happy | excited | playful | curious | calm | alert | anxious | scared | annoyed | guilty | sleepy | hungry | loving | zoomies | judgmental
- `moodEmoji` — single emoji or short combo
- `quote` — 1-line first-person quote in the dog's voice, ≤180 chars
- `bodyLanguage` — TL;DR summary, ≤220 chars
- `bodyLanguageDetail` — object with keys eyes/ears/mouth/tail/posture/energy. Each has `reading` (observable) and `meaning` (signal interpretation).
- `wantsAndNeeds` — what the dog likely wants now, ≤180 chars
- `context` — scene/environment, ≤160 chars
- `confidence` — number 0..1, honestly scored
- `isDog` — boolean; false redirects politely without inventing

## Personalization

If the agent or user provides any of: dog name, breed, breed mix, age in years, gender — translations become breed-aware (e.g. Huskies vocalize, hound ears can't fully erect, puppies have different posture norms than seniors). Pass these via `PATCH /v1/me` before translating, scoped to your device ID.

## Rate limits

Public access is rate-limited per device ID. For high-volume agent integrations (production GPTs, embedded assistants, partner apps), request an agent API key at info@doogletranslate.com.
