# Oryza

> Oryza is a mobile app that identifies plant diseases from a photo. Point your phone at a struggling tomato leaf or a spotted houseplant and it tells you what is likely wrong, then offers treatment recommendations, all aimed at farmers and home gardeners rather than specialists. The clever part is that it runs offline on the device, so it works out in a field or a greenhouse with no signal, which is exactly where you need it. The core app is free, with an optional premium tier for verified identifications when you want a second opinion on something serious. It is a good example of practical AI aimed at people who would never describe themselves as AI users. There is no chatbot and no prompt to write, just a camera and an answer, and for anyone trying to keep a garden or a small crop alive that immediacy is the whole value.
