SheGrows AI — Egypt
Challenge or opportunity
Distance and time limit contact with extension services, literacy and language can make advice hard to use, and phone access does not guarantee a voice in decisions. Advice must fit the moment a woman farmer needs to decide.
KI-Q’s role
External technology provider. KI-Q supported SheGrows AI’s design and implementation, working closely with FAO throughout development, field testing and refinement.
Solution or offering
A WhatsApp service where women ask by voice, text or photo and receive advice in Egyptian Arabic. Answers draw on a curated FAO knowledge base (maize and wheat for the pilot); complex questions go to human experts whose corrections feed back into the knowledge base; a dashboard monitors usage, topics and response times.
Documented outcomes
Pilot, July–September 2026 (as presented by FAO): 150+ women farmers reached, ~35,550 user interactions, and 97.5% of expert-reviewed responses validated.
