How to Get the Most Out of FranTechAI
A quick guide to start asking like a pro.
Start Here: What Is FranTechAI?
FranTechAI is not a chatbot — it's a multi-model reasoning system trained to act like a scientific consultant.
It's built to support your work in plant science, agriculture, biotech, innovation, and adjacent fields. Think of it like a PhD advisor, strategy consultant, and analytical assistant, all in one.
How to Start (Simple First Prompt)
Just type:
"What are you?"
"How can I best use you as a [your role]?"
You'll get a structured reply that helps you understand the system and how to use it based on your profession.
What Can You Upload?
You can upload photos or data files like:
- Drone or satellite field images
- Plant issue close-ups (disease, nutrient stress, etc.)
- Test results or chromatograms (HPLC, GC-MS, etc.)
- Protocol drafts or SOPs
- Labels of products (e.g. nutrient bottles, seed packs)
- Sketches of concepts or workflows
The AI will analyze it and reply with reasoning, not just pattern matching.
