FutureSeedAI takes crop diagnosis offline
The site presents a free phone app for photographing crop damage and getting a diagnosis and treatment guidance offline, in Cebuano, Filipino, or English.
- For
- Smallholder farmers in the Philippines
- Worth noticing
- The listed 91% accuracy is a held-out lab benchmark, not a field result; the site also reports a baseline survey of 15 Agusan del Sur farmers.
Field notes
The phone-side model is described as small enough for budget Android devices, and the app combines several leaf photos into a single reading with confidence and urgency information. Rice, corn, banana, cassava, coconut, and abaca are listed as supported; the site says it flags crops that are not ready. The reported 91% is a held-out lab benchmark, explicitly not a field result, while the organization dashboard remains in development and uses sample data.
