Say hello to Rhubarb's Ask Ruby

Leap into the Future of Local Food Gardening

This web browser version of Ask Ruby is an experiment...not designed for mobile web browsers. Please sign in to Ask Ruby on your desktop browser.
‍
Knowing this is an experiment, use it as such and hold on to your expectations. When Rhubarb launches this spring, Ruby will live within the Rhubarb mobile app. Stay tuned over the coming months; there is so much more ahead from Rhubarb.
‍
Ruby's AI is what we call "bilingual", meaning a blend of what Rhubarbs gardeners share plus open-source LLM AI. So logically, until Rhubarb hits critical mass, the human side this bilingual mix will be slowly building its prowess, so be patient. More on this here.
‍
If you shared your correct location when you signed up, Ruby's training will deliver amazing local information, so enjoy that. It's a taste of the future where your location is the basis of supporting your food gardening. This will be a first for local home gardeners.
‍
Use at your own risk; Rhubarb Labs takes no responsibility for the use of and interpretation of your results and relationship with Ask Ruby (lawyer speak).
‍
Have fun with Ruby. Growing food starts with the joy of simply doing and the magical harvests that we celebrate on our tables with family and friends.
