Using AI to streamline your business
For passionate growers, like Colin Upson, who want to stay connected to their plants, AI could help streamline administration or other back office chores to free them up to deliver hands-on care across their operations. Here are just a few of the many ways you can implement Artificial Intelligence to your landscaping or horticulture business:
- Communicate with temporary foreign workers with language translation apps
- Engage potential clients and answer frequently asked questions on your website with a chatbot
- Brainstorm ideas and create rough drafts for marketing and blog content
- Edit written content for grammar, spelling and punctuation
- Visualize landscape concepts with generative fill design software
- Measure properties and calculate size, slope and other features, then upload measurements directly to design software
- Automate estimates, billing and follow-up emails
- Track fleet routes, fuel usage, idle time and detect driver risks
- Program cut patterns for autonomous mowers
- Trigger greenhouse operations, such as opening shutters or controlling humidity, based on real-time conditions
- Monitor for pests and deploy drones to destroy them
- Observe large crops for plant growth and development
- Deploy irrigation and nutrient inputs based on sensor data
- Identify plant type through photo recognition
- Command autonomous vehicles to move heavy loads around operation sites
