Uht-Oh! (I still get industry e-mails from when I was in ‘the biz.’ It’s usually pretty interesting.)
“Bloomin’ Easy Unveils Daisy Digs, an AI Support Bot
They tell us that the younger generation loves interacting with AI (or artificial intelligence for anyone that might not know the moniker yet). This is the clearest indicator I can find that I am no longer considered to be the younger generation! However, it is true and AI applications are growing exponentially, and many today prefer to interact with AI than an actual person. Just Google something and you get AI generated results back first!
AI has the opportunity to deliver immediate answers crafted by “reading” massive amounts of data and other information that has been fed to it. Somewhat like a graduate student, but quicker. These tools are becoming critical as the industry continues to market to younger homeowners and clientele. That is why Bloomin’ Easy has taken the reins and become the first major plant brand to implement an AI consumer support chatbot.
Daisy Digs is a fun-loving, passionate greenthumb with a youthful twist. Powered by Scapify’s Master Gardener AI technology, Daisy will provide expert guidance to consumers when it comes to plants and landscaping. Daisy Digs can troubleshoot common garden issues like pests or soil health and even help suggest plants for jobs. Hmmm ... sounds like my Extension position!

https://bloomineasyplants.com/pages/daisy-digs-aiMy onion day length research somehow ended up on Sprouting Broccoli(squirrel) as the research subject
Not too shabby as my two hours of research came up with the same thing.
Good answers though. Scapify, the tech behind bloomineasy's bot had different wording but the same info. - https://scapify.com/products/master-gardener-ai
I forgot to mention a high tunnel...
Scapify version. Seems a little more positive, less cautious. Probably a setting they have on it.
I am not old and refuse to grow old so I have a ChatGPT account. 😛 Might have to try the same questions on ChatGPT and see what I get.
And holy carp it's pouring here. Coming up on an inch of rain after just a few minutes.
