Rakan Tani: Empowering
Farmers with AI
A collaborative effort between GAIV, BERNAS and the National AI Office, supported by the Ministry of Agriculture to revolutionize traditional farming through generative AI and real-time field diagnostics.
The Technology in Action
Seamless interaction between farmer and intelligence. Rakan Tani translates complex processes and data into simple, actionable field advice.
Voice-First Interface
Built for the field. Farmers can ask "When is the next fertilization window?" while working, receiving instant responses.
Encoded internal processes
Our "state machine" holds all relevant information for every step of the process, suggesting the exact action to be taken - and what needs to be prepared.
Multi-Dialect Support
Optimized for regional dialects, ensuring no farmer is left behind due to language barriers or technical jargon.
Voices of Authority
Endorsed by national stakeholders, Rakan Tani has been featured in the NAIO Newsletter as a hallmark of Malaysian innovation in the fourth industrial revolution.
Progress: From Pilot to Production
What started as a 200-hectare experiment has evolved into a national standard. Through the Pilot program, we've refined our core AI logic directly in the fields of Perak.
