In June 2024, Grio launched the GRŌ app: an AI gardening assistant for novice gardeners. The GRŌ app was an excellent way for us to understand the full extent of AI’s capabilities while identifying pitfalls and limitations to avoid on future projects.
Are you interested in starting a home garden but unsure where to begin? Do you feel like your home garden is bringing you more questions than plants? If you’re a novice gardener who just wants some help, then GRŌ, Grio’s AI-powered gardening assistant, is the app for you.
As software teams, we are starting to implement and integrate AI into more of the projects we complete. From chatbots to virtual assistants, AI is becoming an integral part of the web and mobile user experience. As a result, it’s important that we understand not only the capabilities of AI, but also the legal, philosophical, and political ramifications of its use.
