AI-Based Farmer Query Support and Advisory System
Main Article Content
Abstract
: Agriculture plays a Big role in India, but many farmers often face challenges in accessing timely and accurate information related to crop diseases, weather conditions, and market prices. This research proposes an AI-Based Farmer Query Support and Advisory System that provides real-time assistance using modern technologies such as Large Language Models (LLMs), workflow automation, and API integration. The system enables farmers to interact through WhatsApp/Website by sending text or images, which are processed using Google Gemini AI. The platform enriches user queries with real-time weather and market data to generate accurate and actionable responses in local languages. The proposed solution aims to bridge the information gap, improve decision-making, and reduce crop losses by delivering instant advisory services in an accessible and scalable manner
