I just finished building my own open-source farm bot called Farmbt 🌱
It's a team of 13 AI agents. I asked them one question, and they came back with a ranked list of opportunities nobody has fully cracked yet.
You describe a problem area in plain words, and the agents take it from there:
šŸ”Ž Researchers search the web in parallel and pull out findings, each with its source āœ… A verifier re-opens the pages and checks every claim against the real text šŸ—³ļø A gap hunter runs three independent passes, and only gaps that show up repeatedly survive 🄊 A critic tries to prove each gap is already solved šŸ› ļø Solver agents design fixes, check them against existing products and papers, and write an experiment plan
The hard part wasn't getting AI to produce answers. It was making it not make things up. So every claim is graded by evidence, confidence ratings are capped by what the source actually supports, and everything is saved, so a run that hits a rate limit picks up where it stopped.
It runs on free-tier models today and gets better with every model upgrade, with no code changes.
First test: crop-disease detection apps for smallholder farmers. 39 sources, 16 findings and 5 opportunities, ending in a concrete first experiment to run.
If you need an AI pipeline that's reliable enough to trust, for research, automation or anything in between, let's talk šŸ‘‹

The step where a verifier re opens every page is a solid guard against hallucinations, and persisting state lets the run survive rate limits without missing a beat

Thanks Johnson, Those two were the hardest parts to get right. The verifier goes after the riskiest sources first (anything the agent only saw in search results), and a claim is only marked unsupported if a second check agrees, so one bad read can't sink a good finding. And...
