The three new AI gardening tools
App for plants and what they need
This new piece of tech is an AI system that enables plants to communicate via an app, allowing them to voice their grievances in real time. Using sensors on the plant and in the soil around, electronic pulses translate how the plant is feeling to a phone app that can be read by the gardener. The gardener will then be able to respond to the plants needs. Initial users dubbed this the 'annoying WhatsApp group gardening tool' because they found their plants were constantly asking for more fertiliser and water.
AI powered gardening hedge trimmer
A new AI-powered gardening tool scans your garden and automatically trims bushes all on its own into incredible designs—whether it’s your favourite celebrity, a dragon, or even your WiFi password for guests.
Gardening googles
Facial recognition goggles are the thing of many spy movies, but what about weed recognition googles? This new product uses AI to predict where weeds will appear based on soil composition and plant behaviour. Initial tests of this product show that it is not always correct and several gardeners have accidentally dug up their prize begonias because they had been mistakenly described as weeds.
