MRIDA is an AI-powered project designed to help farmers easily check soil health and improve crop yields.

It was created to measure soil pH, moisture, temperature, and nutrients while also providing weather alerts. It also had a built-in emergency service to contact concerned authorities and a speech-to-speech assistant to guide the user and provide insights.

The software side was built using MIT App Inventor and Python, and the current prototype stack was planned around a portable Raspberry Pi based field unit with live sensing, imaging, connectivity, and GPS support.

MATRIX is a speech-to-speech, text-to-speech, and speech-to-text desktop voice assistant built using Python, Tkinter, and Microsoft Voice Pack.

I programmed and built it when I was in 8th grade, referring to various videos on rule-based chatbots, and designed the complete Tkinter window by myself.

It also supported text-to-text interaction, featuring a quick-glance home screen with weather, top 5 tech news, time and date, my location, and additional windows for other overviews.

(I might have been a little too inspired by Iron Man and The Matrix movies, lol.)
