Plantix is a mobile crop advisory app for farmers, extension workers and gardeners. Plantix was developed by PEAT GmbH, a Berlin-based AI startup. The app is capable of diagnosing plant damages (caused by pests, Plant disease or nutrient deficiencies) based on digital images of symptoms. It then suggests and and connects users with local sellers of these inputs, taking a commission on app-generated pesticide sales. Since its inception, the start-up's founders and employees have claimed that Plantix reduces the use of environmentally harmful pesticides—a claim that is increasingly being challenged due to the company's industry-dependent business model and the lack of robust evidence to support the claim.
