Plantey 🌱
Inspiration 🌟
"Do what you can, with what you have, where you are."
– Theodore Roosevelt
My inspiration for creating Plantey comes from the belief that we can make a difference by caring for the environment with the resources we already have. I’ve personally discovered that even a small garden, with plants specifically suited to our region and nurtured using what’s available to us, can have a meaningful impact. It’s this simple yet powerful idea that drives Plantey – small actions leading to big changes for a healthier planet.
What it does ⚡
🌍 Geolocation-Based Plant Curation
Plantey fetches your exact location using the Geolocation API and uses AI to curate plants that thrive in your specific region.🌿 Plant Categories
The plants are categorized into:- 🌱 Herbs
- 🌳 Trees
- 🍎 Fruits & Vegetables
- 🌸 Flowers
This allows users to select plants based on their specific needs.
🌱 KnowPlants
Understand the full details about any plant, provided by AI, including:- 🌸 Blooming Season
- 💰 Net Cost for Growing
- 🌺 Flower Color
- 🌿 Growing Season
- 💧 Watering Requirements
- 🌵 Drought Tolerance
- 🐞 Insects
- 🦠 Diseases
- 🌱 Soil Nature
And more—basically, every piece of information you need to grow a plant successfully!

How we built it 🛠️
- 🔺 Frontend and Backend are powered by React.
- 🔺 The plant recommendation system was created using Llama 70b versatile LLM with Groq LangChain.
- 🔺 Geolocation API was used to fetch the user's exact location, town, country, and pin code.
- 🔺 The Stability-Large-Turbo model was used for generating plant images.
Challenges we ran into 🔍
Integrating the AI model based on the use case into the app was the main challenge, and connecting the location input with the AI's input for generating the plant recommendation system was a huge task. 😤
Additionally, grabbing the user’s search input for a particular plant and incorporating it to analyze the entire details about that plant was also a tiresome task. 🧐
Incorporating the plant search inputs into Stability-Large-Turbo for generating the image was tough as well, but at the end of the day, I was able to resolve all the challenges and finally created a working model. 🎉 I feel so happy! 😊
Accomplishments that we're proud of 🥳
- 🎉 Find the location dynamically using the Geolocation API precisely.
- 🎉 Developed a plant recommendation system powered by Llama-70b-versatile LLM.
- 🎉 Integrated a fully AI-powered plant information system with AI-generated plant images.
