AI Agent plant care assistant (NFC tag triggered)

Build an AI agent that comes alive whenever you tap an NFC tag with an iPhone.

This specific agent is hooked up to lots of different NFC tags, each one associated with a different plant with custom care instructions 🌱🪴🌼🌷🌲

The agent manages logging care activities and scheduling reminders for stuff I need to do months or weeks later.

🪴 For example, the Bonsai plants require care activities like checking up on wiring (used to shape branches) every 3-4 months, or trimming during specific seasons. While others like spinach need harvesting every 2 weeks or so after the initial 6-week growth period.

With all of these different plants, I just won't remember long-term care tasks and I'd rather not look at spreadsheets.

So now, every time I do one of these activities, I'll tap the NFC tag with my phone, and my agent will log the type of action and schedule a reminder for the next care activity depending on which plant it is. The reminders are optional per activity too. For example I don't forget to water them so don't want to extra notifications for that.

Outside of this specific use-case, the skills this video will add to your builder toolbox are:

🏷️ Create custom automations with NFC tags and iOS shortcuts.

💬 Send message to an AI agent on Relevance AI when you tap an NFC tag
(customised per one).

📈 Use the general purpose Google Sheets assistant to spin up a Google sheet for you.

⚒️ Build custom tools from scratch with minimal effort (add data to Google Sheet, post message to Slack).

⏰ Setup automatic reminders that the agent can decide when to schedule and action.

This is a very "build-along-with-me" style of video. I tend to get things working first, then make them better later.

Also bear with me, I'm applying that approach to videos too, making each one better than the next :)
