After two years of training, we were finally able to add Tulipish as a language to Google Home’s recently introduced Interpreter Mode. Building on an advancement called Neural Machine Translation, we worked with Wageningen University & Research to map tulip signals to human language. Google is uniquely positioned to solve the challenge of speaking with plants. In particular, the Dutch are world renowned for their tulips, and even have a world-famous flower park, called Keukenhof, which provided the perfect testing ground. It shouldn’t come as a surprise that Google Tulip was largely developed and tested in the Netherlands, a country that produces 12.5 billion flowers a year. Tulips are excellent listeners and when listened to carefully, give sound advice. Socially, it turns out that plants, and particularly tulips, are very chatty, and make for great friends. As their needs are expressed more clearly, they are able to live a happier and healthier life. Tulips now have a way to indicate to humans that they’re in need of water, light or simply some more space. The ability to speak with tulips comes with great environmental and societal benefits.
