AGRIBOT

AgriBot, an AI-based chatbot/virtual assistant for Agri-Business and Farmers. The bot will be available in platforms like WhatsApp, Web, Facebook messenger and SMS to bring enormous agriculture knowledge at the fingertips.  Right now the agricultural information is fragmented and hidden inside various sources like Government Agricultural websites, Newspapers, Magazines, Agricultural Universities (like ICAR) etc. AgriBot will be consolidating all the information and present them via the Chatbo... t. There is a large number of Agri-Business and farmers in India who do business on small-scale, medium-scale and large-scale and communicating information to them is a hefty task. Farmers and Agri businesses located in remote villages are specifically less educated about the commodity prices, weather or latest advancements in seeds, manure, fertilisers, pesticides, soil improvement, etc Smartphones and the internet are at their cheapest and affordable right now. AgriBot aspires to be useful by providing them useful information easily within a few taps. Since Agribot lives on popular platforms like WhatsApp and Facebook, it will be much easier to access the information via these platforms, instead of visiting a website or downloading apps. During our research with the help of TNAU (Tamil Nadu Agricultural University), we found marketing or getting rice price for their produce is the biggest challenge faced by the farmers and agribusinesses. So our primary focus is to provide up to date commodity prices from different markets in India.  Agribot will also provide weather updates and the will be able to answer questions to common problemsMore
