Overview

About this project

Agri Dost AI is a crop advisory product for Pakistani farmers, built Urdu-first because that is the language the field speaks. It gives crop calendars for the season, answers pest and disease questions, and offers weather-based farming guidance — all paired with an offline-first Flutter app, because mobile signal in a cotton field comes and goes. It was built by MindCrafts AI, the AI division of CodeHubb, for the farmers around its own home district of Sargodha and beyond.

The challenge

The problem it solves

When a pest attacks or leaves curl, a farmer's options are slow: wait days for the agriculture department's man to visit, or guess with whatever pesticide the shop recommends. Advice that does exist online is in English, written for other climates, and useless on a phone with no signal standing in a field. The challenge was to put a knowledgeable companion in the farmer's pocket: guidance in Urdu, specific to his crop and season, available exactly where the problem is — in the field, offline.

What we built

Features that do the work

Crop calendars

Season-by-season calendars for major crops — sowing windows, fertiliser stages, irrigation timing and harvest — so the year's plan is visible in advance.

Pest and disease Q&A in Urdu

Farmers describe what they see — curled leaves, spots, insects — and get likely causes and treatment guidance in plain Urdu, standing in the field itself.

Weather-based farming tips

Guidance adjusts to conditions: when to spray, when to hold irrigation, how to protect a crop ahead of harsh weather.

AI assistant chat in Urdu

Open questions go to the AI assistant, which answers farming questions conversationally in Urdu, drawing on the crop knowledge built into the product.

Offline-first Flutter app

Calendars and advice work without a connection; the app syncs when the farmer returns to coverage — designed for fields, not offices.

Private farmer accounts

Each farmer's crops, questions and history live in his own account, private to him (production upgrade, October 2026).

Project journey

How Agri Dost AI got here

  1. October 2026

    Concept & design

    The concept was set by a single scene: a farmer in a field, phone in hand, no signal, leaves curling. Urdu-first, offline-first and answer-first all follow from that scene.

  2. October 2026

    Build

    Crop calendars, the pest Q&A knowledge base, weather guidance and the Urdu AI chat were built, with the Flutter app carrying the same advisor onto the phone.

  3. October 2026

    Quality pass

    The advisor was tested against the questions farmers actually ask — in Urdu, mid-season, with the connectivity switched off.

  4. 21 October 2026

    Production upgrade

    Agri Dost AI received the production architecture: real farmer accounts, private per-user data, and a server-side AI engine for genuine answers instead of fixed scripts.

Current status

Where it stands today

Production-ready build complete, with accounts, private data, the server-side AI engine and the offline Flutter app finished. Deployment is in progress.

Next step: Launch on its own subdomain once production hosting and the Firebase project are connected, then the Android APK build for field distribution.

Client words

What the client says

★★★★★
“In our fields the signal comes and goes, so an app that needs internet is useless to me. This one works offline, in Urdu. When the cotton leaves curled this season I checked the pest advice standing right there in the field, instead of waiting two days for the agriculture man to visit.”
