Farmers Assistant is an AI-enabled agricultural advice service for small-scale farmers in Kenya, delivering expert guidance through channels farmers already use, including WhatsApp and SMS.

Key capabilities include:

  • No-app access via WhatsApp and SMS, so farmers can ask questions without downloading an app, using a smartphone, or buying a data plan.
  • Voice-first and multilingual support, allowing farmers to send voice notes and receive responses in local languages to reduce literacy and connectivity barriers.
  • Photo-based support in WhatsApp for issues like pest identification, with practical recommendations (for example, treatment guidance and natural spray options).
  • Proactive support and alerts, including guidance related to changing conditions such as rainfall and drought-related decisions.

Available on Web.

It serves individual farmers as well as NGOs, cooperatives, self-help groups, and large institutions through tiered plans that include options like monthly farm planning sessions, unlimited 1:1 consulting, resource library access, off-network text support, and institutional branding with dedicated experts.

The service is notable in Kenya for its focus on reaching farmers in the South and North Rift via WhatsApp, SMS, and voice, with reported pilot traction of 5,000 farmers and 620,000+ responses sent, built by Agrisync Lab.
