UlangiziAI Multilingual Agriculture Chatbot

Content

UlangiziAI is a multimodal chatbot that provides on-demand agricultural advice to African farmers in their local languages. Farmers in Malawi use the chatbot via WhatsApp on mobile phones to get advice on increasing crop yields and fighting pests and diseases. The chatbot understands agricultural-related questions in English or Chichewa and can interpret photographs, responding in natural language to help farmers who may not read or write. UlangiziAI runs on NVIDIA A100 Tensor Core GPUs in Azure Cloud and uses various AI models including Meta's MMS Large and OpenAI's GPT-4o to provide accurate and quick answers to farmers' queries. The system helps bridge the information gap for smallholder farmers by providing real-time, location-specific agricultural advice in local languages, supporting improved crop yields and pest management.
