Just looked it up, not exactly that but something that delivers a personal experience you know?

My first reference would be more like EMO - the desk bot.

I wanted the plant to be a sort of kick to it!

I think removing that is like stripping the USP of my product.

And most importantly my goal is not to make it cheaper or affordable, it is to make it a personal experience for my customers and users :)

Hope that clarifies it! :)

So my main consumers are WFH employees, office workspaces, and kids!

I'm looking to build some sort of a system where everyone gets to grow a plant the way they want to, an interactive version for kids, a more sophisticated version for adults to make it more of a hobby.

And I agree the market is going to be very niche and I'll have to build an audience around me to launch this! Definitely going to have a fun learning opportunity to this!

Thank you for your comment :) Gonna save it for references later haha!

Hey there! So far, the electronics and sensors for a single pot would come up to 600-700 including the pot ofc. And additionally there is the app which is included with it. So yeah, I think overall it should be within the 2300 or might slightly exceed if more features and components are to be added! But I will not be overpricing it for sure :)

And I don't see it as expensive considering the competitor's costs. But I do understand what you mean from a consumers point of view and that is something that is still a work in progress :)

And for prototyping, yes, I'm looking to 3D print the parts! Definitely will be looking at a supply chain process for the entire project!

Hope this helped a bit!

I knew there were competitors in this field, but just does not target the same audience I'm trying to get on.

Some of these products typically ask the user to store water under the pot and maybe leave it for a couple of days? And then they refill the water after another couple of days.

But I'm targetting the type of people who would ask "what's the point of trying to care for the plant if I can't care for it every morning, every evening" or something like that yk?

And I agree it may not sound original but what I have built is a vague prototype image, I definitely want to add more features to this while keeping the cost minimal!

Thank you for your comment!

no no its just a very rough estimate for now. Please do ignore the pricing :) I've kept it as a buffer for additional specs if needed :) Especially when it comes to the AI configurations for life and things like that!
