So glad to have Temple working on this awesome project!

Was great hosting the Advanced Coding Collective!

Excited to share that I recently presented PlantGPT, an exploration on the combination of AI and plant care, that enables plants to communicate their needs at Avant South. We wanted to look at the impact of conversational user interfaces on inanimate objects and how that could potentially innovate other fields. Avant South was a dynamic event that bridges innovation, technology, and culture which convened top leaders from Atlanta’s media, entertainment, sports, arts, and business industries to discuss how emerging technologies can impact the future. Big thank you to the Spelman Innovation Lab, specifically Eric Thompson, MS HCI and Jerry Volcy for selecting me to continue Grace Burch’s project from last year, by integrating a local LLM and a seamless communication between the LLM and the plant health data. I can’t wait to continue working with the Innovation Lab with new projects in the future.
