Such AI-based advisory services can reach large numbers of farmers more cost-effectively than traditional extension services. They can almost instantly provide advice across more remote areas, translate technical terms into plain language, quickly adapt to local needs through feedback from users, and increase access to knowledge for marginalized groups.
