SiembraAI is a solution developed by SiembraCo that combines artificial intelligence, WhatsApp, and satellite imagery to provide digital agricultural advisory services to smallholder farmers in Latin America. Through a virtual assistant accessible from any mobile phone, farmers receive personalized recommendations on pests, irrigation, fertilization, and sustainable practices—without needing constant internet access or technical knowledge.
This technology aims to reduce costs, increase productivity, and improve the climate resilience of rural communities. SiembraAI relies on satellite data, AI models trained with local agronomic information, and a conversational interface powered by Google Vertex AI.
As part of the SiembraCo ecosystem, the tool helps bridge the digital divide, empower rural women, and facilitate connections with formal markets. Our goal is to democratize agricultural technical knowledge and transform farming—starting from the farmer’s mobile phone.
