Decision-Making Support Tool

Helping Farmers and rural stakeholders navigate teh world of digital technologies

The Decision-Making Support Tool (DST) is a user-friendly tool designed to empower farmers and other stakeholders in making informed decisions about the optimal digital technology configurations and solutions for use in their region. The tool is leveraging Large Language Model (LLM) technologies to provide rich information through a chat-based interface. By utilizing data from the Living Labs experiments, surveys, and interviews, as well as carefully curated knowledge base, the DST assists users in selecting suitable solutions that align with their requirements as well as EU-defined socio-economic and environmental goals. DST not only answers the questions, but also guides the conversation to collect all relevant information before providing suggestions and recommendations.

How It Works:

DST is as easy to use as sending a text message. Whether you are on a web browser or using a messaging app on your phone, you can talk to DST just like you would with a friend or a trusted advisor. Simply type in your questions or concerns about digital technologies, and DST will respond with helpful advice and suggestions (or will admit that does not have an answer if the question is not related to the use of digital technologies in rural regions).
