Building Africa’s Agricultural Infrastructure
Are you a small scale farmer in Kenya?
Farm with Real Experts
We use AI to connect farmers with the knowledge and expertise that unlocks their potential for a prosperous, sustainable future
The story of Farmer Assistant begins not in a tech hub, but in the soil. Our founders witnessed firsthand the critical gap between smallholder farmers and the expert knowledge they needed.
(About Us)
Faced with unpredictable weather, pests, and market shifts, farmers were making vital decisions based on tradition or guesswork, often leading to devastating losses.
We asked a simple question: What if the world’s best farming advice could fit in a farmer’s pocket?
The answer is Farmers Assistant—an AI-powered agricultural expert that works through WhatsApp and SMS. We believe the most powerful technology is the one that meets people where they are. By using the tools already in farmers’ hands, we are breaking down barriers of access, literacy, and connectivity to build a more resilient and prosperous future for agriculture.
Our Mission & Vision
Mission
Building the AI-powered intelligence layer for smallholder agriculture
We connect farmers to the expert knowledge they need via the tools they already use, empowering them to increase harvests, reduce costs, and build resilience.
Vision
A future where every smallholder farmer is supported by intelligent technology
We believe farming should be data-driven, accessible, and sustainable—because when it is, farmers prosper, communities are fed, and agriculture thrives.
In a world of complex agri-tech, we chose a radically simple path: accessibility.
No Apps, No Barriers
Farmers interact with our AI via familiar WhatsApp chats or simple SMS. No downloads, no smartphones, and no data plans required.
Voice-First & Multilingual
We speak the farmer’s language—literally. Our platform understands and responds in local languages via text or voice note, making expert advice available to everyone.
AI That Learns
Every question a farmer asks makes our system smarter, enabling more precise, localized, and valuable guidance over time.
We start by solving the immediate knowledge gap, building the trusted foundation for future tools in market access and finance .

Between my cows and my shamba, I’m always busy. Now, I ask about everything—from fodder planting to treating milk fever—while I work.

The worms were eating my kale faster than I could pick. I took a photo and sent it through WhatsApp. In minutes, I got a recipe for a natural spray using neem. It worked!

The rains failed last season, and I was ready to give up. Farmers Assistant sent me an alert about a drought-resistant bean variety and showed me how to plant it with little water.
