Harnessing AI for Precision Agronomy: The Inner Workings of Ag Assistant™

Harnessing AI for Precision Agronomy: The Inner Workings of Ag Assistant™

Overview
Ag Assistant™ by Taranis simplifies agronomic decision-making by transforming complex, scattered data into clear, timely recommendations. Powered by AI and connected to a wide range of data sources, it cuts through information overload to deliver actionable insights that help retailers, agronomists, and growers operate more efficiently and productively.

What is Ag Assistant™
Ag Assistant™ is a generative AI-powered agronomy engine that delivers field-specific, actionable insights to transform farm management. By integrating diverse data sources—such as leaf-level imagery, weather patterns, machinery data, planting dates, and industry research—Ag Assistant™ analyzes millions of data points to provide precise recommendations on crop health, including stand counts, weed pressure, and disease detection. Its model continuously improves as more data is gathered, offering increasingly accurate and tailored agronomic guidance to support smarter, more efficient decision-making for agronomists and growers.

How Does It Work
Once planting dates are recorded in the Taranis system, drone Missions are scheduled to capture high-resolution, leaf-level imagery at key stages of the season. These images are processed using advanced AI to detect early signs of issues like stand variability, weed pressure, disease, and nutrient deficiencies.

Within 24 hours of a Mission, Ag Assistant™ turns images into insights evaluating emergence and identifying threats to crop health. As the intelligence engine behind every Mission, Ag Assistant™ takes those insights alongside planting data, weather patterns, and field history to generate clear, actionable guidance. It not only identifies what’s happening in the field, but also interprets why it matters and what to do next—enabling faster, more confident agronomic decisions.

The Value of Ag Assistant™
Ag Assistant™ boosts operational efficiency by automating the analysis of complex agronomic data, significantly reducing the time required to process and interpret information. It ingests large volumes of inputs—such as drone imagery, weather conditions, and crop conditions—and delivers clear, prioritized recommendations with speed and precision.

Ag Assistant™ turns imagery into insights—and insights into action by evaluating the impact of each issue and delivering timely, targeted recommendations. By simplifying the analysis process, Ag Assistant™ enables agronomic advisors to provide expert crop guidance to more growers in the same amount of time—expanding their reach without compromising quality.

In an era where precision agriculture is more critical than ever, Ag Assistant™ brings data together, accelerates insight delivery, and enables users to act quickly and decisively. Every recommendation is delivered when it’s needed most, helping teams respond in real time. In a fast-moving season, this time-saving advantage leads to more precise, confident, and effective agronomic decisions.

Precision Product Recommendations with Ag Assistant™
A standout feature of Ag Assistant™ is its ability to deliver brand-specific product recommendations—available exclusively to retail partners. This capability allows agronomic insights to align with a retailer’s preferred product portfolio, strengthening grower relationships through tailored, in-season solutions.

Retail partners work with their Customer Success representative to submit product preferences in a simple chart that can be updated throughout the season. When threats such as disease, weeds, insects, or nutrient deficiencies are detected in leaf-level imagery, Ag Assistant™ integrates the appropriate brand-specific recommendation into its agronomic insights. Before sharing with growers, retailers can review and adjust these suggestions to ensure accuracy and alignment.

By bridging the gap between threat detection and product application, this feature enables timely, field-specific interventions that drive business impact and reinforce grower trust. Integrating Taranis intelligence, agronomic insights, and branded product recommendations, Ag Assistant™ delivers a seamless in-season solution that supports confident decision-making and accelerates sales. The result is increased efficiency, deeper customer engagement, and a more strategic, revenue-driven approach to agronomic support.

Conclusion: Driving the Future of Digital Agronomy
As precision agriculture becomes increasingly essential, Ag Assistant™ serves as a trusted digital agronomy partner—helping professionals navigate the complexities of modern farming while driving efficiency, sustainability, and profitability. One of the greatest challenges in agriculture today is managing the overwhelming volume of field data. Ag Assistant™ addresses this by turning complex inputs into clear, actionable insights, enabling timely, informed decisions without hours spent sorting through raw information.

By automating complex data analysis, Ag Assistant™ surfaces critical findings at the right moment and delivers field-specific recommendations that drive real results. It empowers agronomists and retailers to optimize inputs, respond proactively to threats, and execute with confidence. With Ag Assistant™, the burden of data management is lifted—freeing teams to focus on what matters most: driving productivity and agronomic success.
