The story was shared by Satya himself. Yes, the "Andri" he mentioned is me. Not everyday that your innovation is recognized by the leader of one of the world’s largest tech companies. Reflecting back, I laid out the vision of conversational AI assistant for aquaculture less than a year ago. Back then, It’s all started with a simple demo that I presented during a strategic meeting, which received mixed reactions. Since then, thanks to the unwavering dedication of my team in “AIoT & Cultivation Intelligence” division, that vision has evolved into "Mas Ahya" and has dramatically led us to this historic moment. What is “Mas Ahya”? Please keep reading. “Mas Ahya” is just one integral part of my grand vision to transform products, services, and business processes in eFishery by harnessing the power of AI and IoT — hence AIoT. My deepest appreciation and gratitude to the founders and my team for believing in this vision — and for turning it into reality, one innovation after another. Before sharing the story in his LinkedIn, Satya Nadella also highlighted “Mas Ahya” on stage during the keynote at Microsoft Build AI Day on April 30 at JCC. Selected as one of only five Indonesian companies, eFishery was also granted the privilege to showcase our solutions to Satya in person. Our Head of AI Products and I were truly honored to meet him face to face and discuss our innovations in depth. It was that one-of-a-kind experience, and I’ll share more details about this in upcoming posts. Words cannot fully express my pride in our progress and achievements, and my gratitude extends to everyone at eFishery who has supported this journey. It’s a journey rather than destination. We have a long road ahead, but I am confident in the real-world applications and impact of our work. Here’s to continuing to elevate the productivity and profitability of our farmers — and sustainable aquaculture. For those unfamiliar, “Mas Ahya” or “Mas Ahli Budidaya” (Mr. Cultivation Expert), is a conversational AI assistant tailored for fish and shrimp farmers. This AI co-pilot aims to democratize aquaculture farming expertise and delivers personalized recommendations to the farmers. Mas Ahya handles everything from water quality checks, cultivation advice, market price inquiries, and many more, enabling data-driven decisions. Powered by AI Large Language Model, it can understand and process natural language queries in local languages intelligently. To learn more about Mas Ahya and our other innovations, how they are powered by #Azure, and how they impact the farmers, you can read the story that Satya shared: https://lnkd.in/gsMs8Vzg Special thanks to Chrisna Aditya, Elsa Vinietta, Ria Sri Rahayu, Alwin Arrasyid, Yehezkiel Willy Lindartono, MBA., Romi Hadiyan Aji Witjaksono, @Asmo, and all AIoTZens in AIoT & Cultivation division. #MasAhya #ConversationalAI #CoPilotForFamer

I feel deeply honored to be the product manager on this opportunity and be part of “Mas Ahya” journey. Leaping from a technological finding, we have gone through iterations of development to answer "How might we provide ease of access to an even cultivation knowledge understanding?". We are always reminded to one of our values "Farmer First", which heavily influences our decision in providing solution to our farmers. Therefore, we are challenging ourselves to embody the value, by providing an automated cultivation agent and persona, Mas Ahya, focusing in orchestrating data, document, and service(s) within eFishery's AIoT ecosystem, to a consumable and easy to digest insights for farmers. We would not be able to "give birth" to Mas Ahya without the guidance of Andri Yadi as the VP of AIoT and Elsa Vinietta as the Head of Product of Cultivation and AI. What's an idea without actions? I want to give my much appreciations to Basha Tahamal for working as the AI engineers for this project, and applauses to Lubna Fairuz Zafira and Riko Pernando for contributing on the FE side. Big shout out to Usamah Jundi, Faishal Rachman, Arief Budhiman and Malik Anhar Maulana who formerly involved in the project, and Lia Yuliana & Sulton Handaya who designed the UI/UX of Mas Ahya. Finally, thank you so much to the Microsoft Team, for providing, facilitating, and investing in the Indonesia's AI and developers scene. This is the catalyst that not only we want, but also NEED to hurtle the adoption of AI in Indonesia. This is just the beginning for Mas Ahya and eFishery, there is still much to unravel about the LLM & GPT stack!

I always believe that AI and IoT are a match made in the heavens. Mas Ahya is a chat interface that allows our users to ensure their cultivation success by asking questions about almost anything about cultivation, including the water quality of their IoT-equipped ponds. Behind the scenes, the water quality sensors communicated with an IoT platform powered by Azure IoT that allows them to send vital measurements of the ponds in real-time. Mas Ahya is a beautiful piece that makes those vital measurements a chat away. I'm so happy to work on the foundation of the IoT Platform--from the firmware library side to the back-end side--and see how every part of it plays an equally important role in our AI and IoT (hence AIoT) products. Now, onto the next.

It was great to collaborate with the Pacific Asian Center for Entrepreneurship in our work to inspire community members to take an interest in tropical agrifood tech solutions. We are working to establish Hawaii as an agrifood and aquaculture tech and innovation hub for the Asia Pacific and Global South. Hawaii can be a global leader in developing solutions for smallholder growers that serve smaller more isolated market food systems. We are blessed with an abundance and diversity of natural resources, institutional capacity and cultural knowledge. These assets can be leveraged to create innovative solutions that resonate with much of the world's population. To accomplish this we need to encourage our local talent to solve some of the world's most pressing issues, how to feed a growing population amid climate impact. Hawaii and the world demand new ways to help our small farmers enhance production economics, increase food system efficiencies and prepare for the coming climate impact. And to do so in ways that care for the planet. This offers our innovators opportunities to create high-growth companies that create value for our farmers and food system in meaningful and impactful ways. We are grateful for the opportunity to partner with PACE and inspire our next generation of problem solvers to take on food, agriculture, and aquaculture! Congratulations to all of the participants, a job well done by all! https://lnkd.in/eECF_Gx5 #GerminateHawaii #PACE #agrifoodtech #aquatech #foodsecurity
Aquaculture governance 💡 Looking back at 2023, one of the groups highlights were extending the groups expertise through almost doubling in size and adding e.g., knowledge in aquaculture governance 💭 🤝 Our Associate professor Furqan Asif, PhD has done a longer interview on the subject of aquaculture governance, sharing insights to his recently published and co-authored article "Aquaculture governance: five engagement arenas for sustainability transformation". In the post below you can read what the aquaculture sector needs to be sustainable, or you can click the following link to access the interview with Furqan Asif, PhD: https://lnkd.in/duEudNck #aquaculture #governance #sustainability Department of Sustainability and Planning, Aalborg University Aalborg University #aaudk Det Tekniske Fakultet for IT og Design, AAU
💡 Five things the aquaculture sector needs to be sustainable 🌊 🐠 For billions of people worldwide, fish and seafood are the primary source of protein. At the same time, the production of fish and seafood emits significantly less CO2 on average than meat production. Aquaculture, therefore, plays an important role in making the entire food system more sustainable. 30 international researchers—among them Furqan Asif, Associate Professor from the Centre for Blue Governance at Aalborg University—highlights 5 things the aquaculture sector needs to be sustainable: 1. Set goals for the sustainable transformation of aquaculture. Complex problems cannot be solved through individual efforts. 2. Collaborate across sectors: Aquaculture should be viewed as part of the entire food industry, including fisheries and agriculture. 3. Regulation across land, water, and sea: Water can carry waste, pathogens, and nutrients between land and sea. Regulation across these domains is therefore necessary. 4. More knowledge and innovation: New knowledge can create new solutions, for example, in disease control or in response to economic challenges. 5. Collaborate across all stages of the value chain: A need for collaboration throughout the whole chain, including production, processing, transportation, trade, and disposal. https://lnkd.in/dMPRkfqG 💡 Fem ting, der er nødvendige for at produktion af fisk og skaldyr bliver bæredygtig 🌊 🐠 For mange mennesker er fisk og skaldyr de vigtigste kilder til protein. Samtidig udleder produktion af fisk og skaldyr i gennemsnit langt mindre CO2 end produktion af kød. Akvakultur spiller derfor en vigtig rolle i at gøre hele fødevaresystemet mere bæredygtigt. 30 internationale forskere – heriblandt Furqan Asif, PhD som er adjunkt på Centre for Blue Governance på Aalborg Universitet – peger på 5 ting, som kan gøre produktion af fisk og skaldyr mere bæredygtig: 1 Sæt mål for bæredygtig omstilling af akvakultur. Komplekse problemer kan ikke løses gennem enkelte tiltag. 2 Samarbejd på tværs af sektorer: Akvakultur skal ses i sammenhæng med hele fødevareindustrien, herunder fiskeri og landbrug. 3 Regulering på tværs af land, vand og hav: Vandet kan bære sygdomme og skadelige stoffer mellem land og hav. Fælles regulering på tværs er derfor nødvendig. 4 Mere viden og innovation: Ny viden kan skabe nye løsninger, f.eks. i bekæmpelsen af sygdomme eller som svar på økonomiske udfordringer. 5 Samarbejd på tværs af alle led i værdikæden: Samarbejde i hele kæden, herunder produktion, forarbejdning, transport, handel og bortskaffelse til sidst. https://lnkd.in/duEudNck #aaudk #sustainability #aquaculture
