Herbica AI
An AI assistant for medicinal plant identification that explains properties, safety notes, and usage guidance from an image-first workflow.
I design intelligent products that turn research-grade AI into fast, useful, human-centered systems.

Hybrid AI with local intent routing, agentic navigation, and Llama 3.1 powered reasoning.
Assistant Core
Structured JSON powers instant portfolio answers — zero API calls, zero latency.
Commands like 'open projects' or 'go to contact' scroll instantly inside the OS.
Llama 3.1 via Groq handles open-ended questions with fast inference.
If Groq is unavailable, the local knowledge layer keeps ARIA fully online.
Web Speech API captures voice input; SpeechSynthesis reads answers back aloud.
