How to Use Ag Assistant™ - From Recommendations to Results

Ag Assistant™ isn’t just about data. It’s about making data usable. With every drone flight, Ag Assistant™ processes high-resolution leaf-level imagery, weather, and threat data to surface what matters most. What truly sets it apart is how it translates those insights into clear, field-ready guidance.

If you’re new to Ag Assistant™, start with Harnessing AI for Precision Agronomy: The Inner Workings of Ag Assistant™ to understand the technology behind it. For a step-by-step walkthrough on putting it into action, check out Turning Recent Insights into Mission Recommendations in the Taranis Web App.

Mission Recommendations

The first and most visible way to use Ag Assistant™ is through Mission Recommendations. After each flight, Ag Assistant™ analyzes the field’s condition—such as emergence performance, weed pressure, and disease presence—and generates a structured recommendation to help advisors decide which fields need attention first and what action to take.

Ag Assistant™ prioritizes suggestions based on the potential impact of the issue on crop performance and the timing of intervention. Priority reflects how urgently a recommendation should be reviewed and acted on. This is distinct from severity, which is used within individual insights to describe the intensity of a specific condition, such as a high severity weed score.

Suggestions appear for the most recent mission on each field and are currently available for corn and soybean fields. You’ll see the presence of a suggestion flagged in the Mission Recommendation list view.

Ag Assistant™ suggestions are visible only to advisors. Once a suggestion is reviewed and saved as a recommendation, it becomes visible to growers and can be shared via text or email.

Suggestions can be edited before sharing. If an advisor makes changes but wants to return to the original Ag Assistant™ version, they can click the three-dot menu in the upper right corner of the recommendation and select Delete. This action restores the original suggestion, allowing them to start fresh. The Recommendation screen clearly shows when a suggestion is available and in use.

Mission Recommendations streamline communication and save valuable time. Rather than digging through layers of data, advisors receive a concise summary of what is happening in the field, why it matters, and what to do next. This is where Ag Assistant™ truly shines—turning images into insights and insights into action. It is a simple and effective way to move confidently from observation to outcome.

Product Recommendations

Ag Assistant™ also supports Product Recommendations, allowing advisors to take insights a step further. When a threat such as disease, nutrient deficiency, or weed pressure is detected, Ag Assistant™ can automatically match that insight with products from an advisor’s preferred chemistry portfolio. This ensures each recommendation not only identifies the issue but also delivers a trusted solution aligned with retail strategy.

Advisors work directly with their Customer Success representative to align branded product recommendations by threat type and hybrid or variety tolerance. This ensures each suggestion is both agronomically sound and strategically relevant. These recommendations are fully customizable, giving advisors the flexibility to review and adjust products before sharing timely, field-specific solutions.

It is another way Ag Assistant™ helps teams move from imagery to insight and from insight to action—while strengthening grower trust and driving in-season results.

Product Recommendations connect strategy to action—so every insight leads to a stronger season.

Whether supporting a few key growers or managing thousands of acres, Ag Assistant™ makes it easier to understand what is happening in the field and respond with confidence. With powerful tools like Mission and Product Recommendations, advisors spend less time sorting through data and more time delivering real value, exactly when and where it is needed.
