KissanGPT has established itself as a unique AI-powered chatbot that offers real-time information to Indian farmers. However, the founder of KissanGPT, Pratik Desai, believes that there is still room for improvement and expansion. He said, “to keep KissanGPT as inexpensive as possible by using the GPT3.5 architecture instead of the more expensive GPT-4”. But he does not rule out the possibility of integrating GPT-4’s multimodal capabilities, which would open up more use cases, especially with images.
Desai also acknowledges the potential competition from Indian startups in this space, but he sees this as an opportunity to collaborate and integrate KissanGPT with other platforms. Furthermore, KissanGPT is collaborating with the Indian government and agriculture institutes to improve its performance and results.
The chatbot is also expanding its language support by adding two more languages soon. With its unique end-to-end voice interface and a robust dataset, KissanGPT is poised to continue disrupting the agriculture industry and help farmers increase their crop yields in the years to come.
