Artificial Intelligence
AI
Artificial Intelligence (AI) is transforming the way businesses in Kenya operate by automating routine tasks, enhancing accuracy, and increasing overall productivity. From processing bulk invoices and financial records to responding instantly to customer enquiries through AI-powered ChatBots, businesses can now operate faster and more efficiently than ever before.
An example could be accounting teams reducing clerical errors when reconciling and verifying invoices with greater speed and precision.
People who work in the field i.e. merchandisers, don’t need to physically count inventory on a supermarket shelf. They only need to take a photo and AI does image recognition automatically, analyzes product availability, shelf placement, and stock levels in real time.
Agriculture
Precision farming using Artificial Intelligence reduces waste and the time taken on the farm. Drones equipped with advanced sensor arrays allow farmers to move from reactive fixes to proactive management. By capturing real-time data on soil moisture and crop stress, farmers can optimize every drop of water and grain of fertilizer. The result? A leaner, more sustainable operation that can cut water consumption by half and drive crop yields up by 30%.
This technology is a game-changer for everyone, whether you’re managing acres of tea in Kericho or a greenhouse in Naivasha. It’s no longer just for the big commercial estates. As costs come down, precision tools are finally reaching the hands of smallholder farmers and local cooperatives. It’s a shift that proves Kenya is ready to lead the entire East African region in the smart farming revolution.
