## About the product

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**.
