This is a submission for the DEV's Worldwide Show and Tell Challenge Presented by Mux
📺 The 60-Second Pitch
Witness how we are bridging the gap between traditional farming and modern AI.
Why watch? Learn how a simple photo of a leaf can save a farmer's entire season’s harvest.
🚀 What I Built
KissanConnect is an AI-powered agritech companion designed for the grassroots level. It transforms a smartphone into a pocket-sized agricultural expert.
Key Features:
- 🔍 Instant Disease Detection: Identify crop ailments via AI image classification.
- 📊 Smart Advisory: Data-driven crop recommendations based on soil parameters.
- 📈 Yield Insights: Helping farmers predict and optimize their total output.
- 🌍 Farmer-First UI: Designed for high accessibility and minimal technical friction.

💡 The Story Behind It
The Problem: Agriculture is the backbone of the economy, yet farmers are often the last to receive the benefits of the AI revolution. Delayed advice and misidentified crop diseases lead to billions in losses annually.
The Mission: I built KissanConnect to remove the "middleman" from information. By putting AI directly in the farmer’s hands, we reduce uncertainty and turn reactive farming into proactive farming.
🛠️ Technical Deep Dive
I focused on building a "lightweight yet powerful" architecture to ensure the app remains responsive even on mid-range devices used in rural areas.

🎥 Powering the Vision with Mux
For an Agritech app, reliability is everything. I used Mux to handle our video infrastructure for the pitch and platform demos because:
- Low Bandwidth Optimization: Mux’s adaptive streaming ensures that even users on 3G/limited rural networks can view content without buffering.
- Seamless Integration: The Mux Player provided a professional, high-quality experience for our pitch video.
- Future Scalability: We plan to leverage Mux AI Workflows to auto-generate video captions in local dialects for our training modules.
🌟 Why "Invest" in KissanConnect?
KissanConnect isn't just an app; it’s a scalability play. It addresses a real-world pain point with a clean, functional technical approach. By combining ML-based diagnostics with a mobile-first interface, we are making "Smart Farming" a reality for everyone.
