What Magdi can do

Magdi is Verdalio's AI growing assistant, powered by Claude and running through your hub. It can answer questions, diagnose problems, and help you build automations — grounded in your live sensor data and recipes.

What Magdi can do

• Answer growing questions — "why is my basil yellowing?" — with your actual readings in context.
• Diagnose alerts — describe a symptom or snap a photo of a plant.
• Explain your automations — walk you through what a recipe or controller is doing and why.
• Help build custom automations — extend the platform without writing YAML or flashing firmware.

Bring your own key

Magdi runs on your API key, on your hub. The cloud is never in the inference path and never sees your key — the assistant is local-first like the rest of Verdalio.

Free for everyone

Magdi is available on the free tier. It is part of what makes Verdalio a genuine platform, not a paywalled shell.
