CanolaChat: the AI-powered agronomy interface for canola growers and agronomists

CanolaChat will use artificial intelligence and large language models (ChatGPT) to harness the extensive resources from Canola Council of Canada (CCC) websites. It will do the searching and synthesizing for growers and agronomists, giving them quick science-based answers to their canola agronomy questions. Jay Whetter will demonstrate how the tool works.
