Spelman College students developing AI tool designed to help people talk to their plants

Spelman College students are developing an AI tool named PlantGPT to help people care for their plants.
PlantGPT uses AI to monitor plant health data collected by sensors in the soil.
The AI provides personalized care instructions based on data such as humidity, light intensity, soil moisture, and outside temperature.
Jessica Obi and Temple Dees, who both have minimal plant care experience, are leading the project and aiming for wider applicability beyond houseplants.
The students envision expanding PlantGPT to local farms and groups of multiple plants to assist caretakers with environmental information.
The innovation lab at Spelman College emphasizes student collaboration and forward-thinking ideas, with the project serving as a model for future careers in computer science.
There’s potential personal utility for the students, with Obi suggesting they might start using the tool to care for their own plants.
