# 🌾 NaijaAgri-AI — Smart Farm Assistant for Nigerian Farmers > **AMD Developer Hackathon: Act II — Track 3, Unicorn (Open Innovation)** > Built by **Haroon Abubakar** --- ## 🚀 What It Does NaijaAgri-AI is an AI-powered farm assistant that gives Nigerian farmers instant, practical agricultural advice — by text or by photo — in the language they actually speak. A farmer can: - **Chat with the AI** in English, Hausa, Yoruba, Igbo, or Pidgin about crop diseases, fertilizer choices, pest control, or farming practices - **Upload a photo of a sick plant** and get an AI-generated diagnosis and treatment advice, no agronomist required --- ## ⚡ AMD / Fireworks AI Usage | Component | Detail | |-----------|--------| | Inference provider | **Fireworks AI**, running on **AMD GPU infrastructure** | | Text chat model | `accounts/fireworks/models/glm-5p2` — handles conversational farming Q&A in 5 languages | | Vision diagnosis model | `accounts/fireworks/models/qwen3p7-plus` — handles photo-based crop/livestock diagnosis | | Cloud credits | AMD Developer Cloud credits used for API access and development/testing | | Why AMD matters here | Farmers in rural Nigeria often have slow or unreliable connections. Low-latency inference on AMD-backed infrastructure is what makes it feasible to return a usable diagnosis in seconds rather than the request timing out | Every AI response in this app — both `/api/chat` and `/api/diagnose` — is served through Fireworks AI's inference stack on AMD GPUs. No AI processing happens on-device or through any other provider. --- ## 🌍 The Problem - **70%+ of Nigerians** depend on agriculture for income, yet most farmers have no access to an agronomist when a crop starts failing - **No smartphone, no help** — most existing agri-tech tools assume a smartphone and stable internet, which excludes a huge share of rural farmers - **Language is a barrier** — almost no agricultural AI tools support Hausa, Yoruba, Igbo, or Pidgin, the languages farmers ac …
