\u201cWith the launch of Professor Petal, we are continuing our efforts to improve our programs and resources while embracing new technology,<\/strong>\u201d said Debi Chedester, CAE, Executive Director of AFE. \u201cThis new tool helps ensure that industry members can quickly connect with the research, programs, and educational materials they need to succeed. It\u2019s an exciting step in advancing the ways we serve our floral community.<\/strong>\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The chatbot offers 24\/7 support, serving as a digital guide to connect floral industry members with tools most relevant to their needs, even outside of normal business hours. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

While the bot can provide instant answers, the AFE staff will continue to be available to help industry members further with questions and assistance when needed. Analytics from the chatbot will be used to inform website updates and edits as needed to make it more accessible.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cProfessor Petal is a perfect example of how AI can deliver real value to the floral industry,\u201d<\/strong> said Marcin Malicki, Founder of nextvert. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThis chatbot provides instant support around the clock, streamlining access to vital information and tools. Together with AFE, we\u2019re advancing innovation and connecting industry members with smarter solutions that help them work more efficiently.\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

This launch builds on AFE\u2019s ongoing collaboration with nextvert, which began through its support of the Sustainabloom Program via QR Zipper\u2122, a nextvert company. As part of that partnership, $0.01 from every QR Message sold by QR Zipper\u2122 is donated to the Sustainabloom Program, directly supporting sustainability education and environmental responsibility in floriculture. The introduction of Professor Petal marks the next milestone in this partnership, demonstrating how nextvert\u2019s innovative technology continues to strengthen our sustainability efforts while delivering new tools to the floral industry.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
