UgaAI
liveAI farming platform for mandi prices, pest alerts, and scheme eligibility
the problem
India has 140M farmers making critical decisions — what to grow, when to sell — based on outdated information or middlemen. Mandi prices exist on government portals but aren't actionable. Pest alerts don't reach farmers in time.
market context
Government mandi portals publish 1,400+ commodity price records daily across 123 commodities and 19 states, but no consumer product makes this data useful for farmers. UgaAI aggregates this, adds AI-powered pest alerts, weather overlays, and scheme eligibility — all in Hindi and English.
how it's built
Next.js with ISR for 100+ SEO pages (commodity + district pages for organic search). Live mandi price data ingested 3× daily via cron. 7 total cron jobs: mandi prices, weather, GDD calculations, pest alerts, government scheme updates. Capacitor wraps the web app into an Android APK.
