What It Is
An AI-powered farming advisory application offering trusted, hyperlocal guidance to farmers, developed by Digital Green India. It provides timely, context-aware advice across a farmer’s decisions — from crop and pest management to livestock care and weather — even in low-connectivity environments.
Key Features
- Conversational interface — farmers can ask questions by voice, photo or text, accommodating low literacy and the reality that many field problems are easier to photograph than to name.
- Coverage across the farming cycle — crop planning, pest and disease management, livestock care, weather forecasts and inputs.
- Technology stack — fine-tuned language models combined with Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG) and expert-validated datasets, refined through Reinforcement Learning from Human Feedback (RLHF).
- What 2.0 adds — saves farmer preferences, such as speaking to the digital assistant or uploading photographs of field problems.
