Projects

FarmSmarter

A robust system that integrates real-time farm monitoring, disease detection, boundary mapping, and an agricultural marketplace. The platform allows farmers to set up their farms, map boundaries using GPS, monitor soil health, track weather forecasts, and detect plant diseases using AI-powered image analysis.

MTD

MTD harnesses the power of artificial intelligence to transform mundane phone calls into strategic business tools by automatically capturing telephonic conversations MTD allows user to focus on what truly matters: the content. MTD records discussions, analyses them, and synthesises information into actionable tasks, insights with transcriptions and appointment creation on the go
