Soil health card extractor
Turn soil health cards into structured nutrient values and plain-language fertiliser advice.
The brief
Millions of farmers have soil health cards they cannot read. Build a tool that reads a photographed card into structured nutrient values, checks them against the normal ranges, and explains the fertiliser advice in simple language. Good looks like: accuracy per field on 30 labelled cards, range checks, and advice that matches the card.
What you will build
- Collect sample soil health cards
- Extract values with a vision-capable LLM and structured outputs
- Check values against normal ranges
- Explain the advice in simple language
- Measure accuracy and cost
