# Cultivate — AaaS Platform for Agricultural Extension
> **Agent-as-a-Service (AaaS) platform** that lets agronomists train configurable AI agents to scale agricultural extension services in Ghana.
**Project:** CS Applied Capstone at Ashesi University
**Developer:** Kelvin Ahiakpor
**Supervisor:** Dr. David Ebo Adjepon-Yamoah
**Partner:** Farmitecture (Accra-based urban farming startup)

## 🌱 Project Overview
Cultivate addresses the **1:1,500 agronomist-to-farmer ratio** problem in Ghana by enabling agronomists to create AI agents that provide on-demand agricultural advice to farmers via chat. Think of it as "ChatGPT for farming" where agronomists control the knowledge base and quality.
### Two User Types
- **Agronomists** — Train agents, upload knowledge bases (PDFs/docs), review flagged queries, monitor usage
- **Farmers** — Chat with AI agents, get instant agricultural advice, rate responses
