The farmer sends a photo of the plant, or asks a question by text or voice, in their own language.
AI crop advisory for agri-input dealers & cooperatives worldwide
The AI agronomist behind every input dealer.
Fosol AI gives dealers and cooperatives an advisor that reads a farmer’s crop photo, answers in the farmer’s own language, and sends back a short video they can act on — the same day.
Photo in, diagnosis, advice and a 30-second video out — on the phone the farmer already has.

The problem
The farmer’s first agronomist is the shop counter
Public extension cannot reach every field. Everywhere in the world, smallholders ask the input dealer — who is busy, not always trained, and answering from memory.
Up to 40%
of crop production lost
Pests and diseases destroy up to 40% of global crop production every year, much of it for lack of a timely, correct diagnosis.
500M+
smallholder farms worldwide
More than 500 million smallholder farms grow a large share of the world’s food, most of them beyond the reach of a trained agronomist.
1,000+
farmers per extension officer
In much of the world a single public extension officer serves well over a thousand farm households, so the input dealer becomes the first source of advice.

How it works
From a photo to an answer the farmer can act on
The dealer signs up once. Their farmers message a WhatsApp number or open a lightweight app, in any of 80+ languages. Everything else runs in the background.
Step 2
Scan
A vision model reads the photo for disease, pests and nutrient stress, weighted by crop, season and region.
Step 3
Ask
The advisor answers in the farmer’s own language, within the dealer’s rules and product catalogue — never a random brand.
Step 4
Show
A 30–60 second video in the farmer’s language shows exactly what to do, ready to replay and share.
