🌱 Plant Health Analyzer

An AI-powered plant disease detector that analyzes plant images to identify health issues, provide diagnoses, and suggest appropriate treatments. The actor uses computer vision and plant pathology knowledge to examine plant symptoms and offer actionable recommendations for plant care.

Overview

The Plant Health Analyzer leverages advanced AI vision models to examine plant images and identify potential health issues, diseases, or nutrient deficiencies. It analyzes visual symptoms such as discoloration, spots, wilting, and other plant abnormalities, then provides professional diagnoses and treatment recommendations.

How It Works

1. Provide Plant Image: Supply a clear image of a plant showing symptoms via URL
2. Ask Questions (Optional): Include specific questions about plant issues or care
3. AI Analysis: The system examines visible plant symptoms using computer vision
4. Professional Diagnosis: Plant pathology analysis identifies potential issues
5. Treatment Recommendations: Receive actionable care suggestions and solutions

Input Parameters

The actor accepts the following input:

• imageUrl: Public URL of the plant image to analyze (required)
• question: Optional specific question about the plant issue or care instructions
• openaiApiKey: Your OpenAI API key (optional, will use platform secrets if not provided)
• model: Vision-capable model (e.g. 'gpt-4o-mini', 'gpt-4o')
• testMode: Enable test mode for auto-testing with sample data (defaults to false)

Note: Either imageUrl or imageKey is required

Output

The actor returns a comprehensive plant health analysis including:

• plantIssues: Object containing descriptions of identified plant problems
  • symptoms: Description of visible symptoms and their locations
  • severity: Assessment of issue severity (mild, moderate, severe)
  • affectedAreas: Which parts of the plant are affected
• diagnosis: Professional assessment of potential diseases or conditions
• treatment: Recommended treatment options and care instructions
• prevention: Tips to prevent similar issues in the future

Quick Start

1. Capture a clear photo of your plant showing symptoms (ensure good lighting and focus)
2. Make the image publicly accessible via URL
