Farm Post: One Photo, and You're Selling
Description and use
Farm Post lets farmers post sales in Telegram using a single photo, AI‑generated text, live price references, and automated stock updates and reservations.
Problem
Small rural farmers lack time, technical skills, and content creation guidance to sell online.
Outcome
Farm Post enables a farmer to post a sale listing in 30–40 s from a single photo, with live price guidance and automated stock management, eliminating the need for a website or agency.
Workflow
- Seller sends a photo to the Farm Post bot on Telegram.
- Gemma 4 reads the photo and writes title, description, hashtags, and a search query.
- Price‑proxy on Render queries SerpApi for live online prices.
- Seller taps a price, unit, and stock quantity.
- Design.py generates four real‑photo designs; seller selects one and posts.
- Post appears in the farm’s Telegram channel with a Reserve button.
- Customer taps Reserve, selects quantity, pays at pickup; stock updates and seller is notified.
Evidence
The farmer takes one photo and sends it to the bot. That's the only thing they have to do.
Gemma 4 reads the photo and writes the whole post: a title, a short warm description and hashtags.
Live online prices for similar products appear next to the question "How much?", so the farmer has a reference.
Four ready‑to‑post designs are drawn from the farmer's real photo (banner, chalkboard, polaroid, magazine).
A customer taps Reserve and chooses how many. Stock goes down by itself, the post updates, and the farmer gets a message.
Gemma 4 (open weights) reads the photo + SKILL.md rules → title, description, hashtags, a 2‑4 word search query.
