Led an interdisciplinary team to build a conversational plant disease diagnosis tool for Taiwanese farmers at the Open Data Innovative Application Contest, hosted by the Ministry of Economic Affairs and Council of Agriculture, Taiwan.

• First Mandarin-language chatbot for plant disease diagnosis, built on open government agricultural datasets
• Pitched to VCs and secured NTD$410,000 in prize funding
• Integrated government open data APIs with a rule-based NLP pipeline to identify diseases from user-described symptoms

An early demonstration of applying AI and open data to agricultural problems — predating the current LLM wave by several years.
