Meet CowGPT: The AI Collar Transforming Dairy Farming and Helping India's Farmers Earn More
Technology has transformed the way people monitor their health. Smartwatches count our steps, measure heart rates, analyze sleep patterns, and even warn us about potential health issues before they become serious.
Now imagine the same level of intelligence helping farmers care for their cows.
It may look like an ordinary collar wrapped around a cow’s neck, but inside is a powerful combination of Artificial Intelligence (AI), Internet of Things (IoT), and real-time data analytics. This smart device can detect early signs of illness, identify the optimal breeding window, monitor daily activity, and even help farmers locate missing cattle.
For thousands of dairy farmers across India, this isn’t just another piece of technology. It’s changing the way dairy farming works—improving animal welfare, reducing financial losses, boosting milk production, and creating more stable incomes for farming families.
Behind this innovation is eVerse.AI, a Nagpur-based agritech startup founded in 2022 by Ashish Sonkusare. Soon after its launch, Shailendra Narwade joined the company, bringing valuable on-ground expertise that helped scale operations and connect the technology with real farming communities. Later, Vidhi Gaur came on board to lead the company’s climate initiatives, expanding its vision beyond dairy innovation to sustainable agriculture.
At the heart of eVerse.AI’s ecosystem is CowGPT—an intelligent livestock management platform designed specifically for dairy farmers. By combining wearable IoT technology with AI-powered insights, CowGPT continuously monitors cattle health and behavior, allowing farmers to identify potential problems before they become costly.
The smart collar tracks movement, activity levels, feeding patterns, and other vital indicators around the clock. Using AI, the system analyzes this data to predict illnesses, detect heat cycles for timely breeding, and alert farmers whenever unusual behavior is detected. Early intervention not only improves animal health but also helps prevent productivity losses that can significantly impact a farmer’s income.
To make the technology accessible even in rural areas, eVerse.AI also offers a WhatsApp-based AI assistant. Farmers can ask questions in a simple and familiar way, receiving instant guidance on cattle care, nutrition, disease management, breeding, and farm operations without needing advanced technical knowledge.
The company is also integrating blockchain technology to improve transparency and support carbon-credit initiatives. By encouraging climate-friendly dairy practices, eVerse.AI is creating new opportunities for farmers to generate additional income while contributing to more sustainable agriculture.
As India’s dairy sector continues to modernize, innovations like CowGPT demonstrate how technology can solve real-world farming challenges. By combining AI, IoT, blockchain, and practical field expertise, eVerse.AI is helping farmers make better decisions, improve livestock welfare, increase milk yields, and build stronger, more resilient rural communities.
What began as a smart collar has evolved into a comprehensive digital ecosystem that empowers farmers with data-driven insights proving that the future of dairy farming is not just smarter, but more sustainable and profitable.
