A farmer in Hokkaido builds tools for broccoli cultivation, field monitoring and multilingual instructions using ChatGPT and Codex.
About
Hiroki Tomiyasu leads WFP Ostrich Farm in Hokkaido. The company name refers to ostriches, but the AI applications described centre on vegetable growing: he uses ChatGPT and Codex for tasks including broccoli diagnostics, temperature alerts and operating greenhouse windows via LINE, satellite data for his plots, and multilingual support for staff. He remains responsible for decisions and running the business.
AI factor
AI helps build and connect tools for the greenhouse, the plots and the team. Hiroki decides what is measured, when a window opens and how staff are directed.
