Greenhouse horticultureGemini for greenhouse horticulture
Google DeepMind's natively multimodal model family, deeply integrated into Workspace, with a very large context window.
Gemini is strong in native multimodal capability: text, image, audio, video and a very large context window; that makes it suitable for letting autonomous systems control climate, irrigation and lighting based on sensor data and weather forecasts.

Confidentiality and GDPR
GDPR: StrongCultivation and climate data are commercially sensitive: they reveal your growing strategy, yield and energy consumption. Put in the contract that you remain owner of your data, where it is stored (ask for EU hosting) and whether the provider may use anonymised data from your greenhouse to improve its algorithms. If there is a chat function, ask which language model and which sub-processors sit behind it; most greenhouse platforms do not disclose this. If you record labour per employee, or cameras and robots capture images showing staff, you are processing personal data: conclude a data processing agreement and inform your employees. Never let an autonomous control system run without boundaries: set minimum and maximum values, keep alerts active and remain ultimately responsible for the crop and crop protection yourself.
Via Vertex AI, processing can be pinned to EU regions (including the Netherlands). Enterprise data is not used for training; the free consumer app offers fewer guarantees (though stricter policies apply for the EU/EEA).
