Three steps, about three seconds, no internet
The model is small enough to run on a budget Android phone, so the whole diagnosis happens on the handset the farmer already owns.
01Step
Choose the crop
Rice, corn, banana, cassava, coconut, or abaca. More crops are in training, and the app says which ones are not ready yet.
02Step
Photograph the plant
Take a few shots of the affected leaf. The app combines them into a single, more reliable reading, with no signal required at any point.
03Step
Read the result
About three seconds later: the disease named, how confident the model is, how urgent it looks, what causes it, and which treatments to consider. Tap to hear it read aloud.

Built for the farmers who have neither connectivity nor credit
Existing tools assume both. That assumption is what leaves 7 million Philippine farming households outside the reach of agricultural technology.
