Agri Buddy: From Queries to Crops with a Context-Aware Agricultural Chatbot
摘要
India’s agricultural productivity is hindered by climate variability, fragmented landholdings, and limited access to localized, data-driven advice. Traditional crop recommendation systems often fail to address diverse agro-climatic needs. We introduce Agri Buddy, a multilingual chatbot that uses large language models (BERT and T5) to provide personalized crop suggestions via natural language. To fine-tune the models, synthetic dialogues are generated from structured agro-climatic data. Achieving 98% accuracy, Agri Buddy outperforms existing methods and demonstrates the potential of LLM-based dialogue systems for accessible, intelligent agricultural support.
