AI takes up gardening

Worried about your plants dying while you’re away on holidays? Not done with taking over the world, AI will also look after your indoor plants’ health and well-being for up to a month at a time.

Featured recently at this year's Consumer Electronics Show (CES), LeafyPod looks like a regular plant pot, but it comes with an app that sends timely notifications for all maintenance needs, from water refills to filter cleaning or replacement. The AI-driven algorithm learns how the soil and your plant react to the first few watering sessions, automatically adjusting to an optimised watering schedule over time.
