AgroConnect — AI Co-pilot for the Farm
AgroConnect is Develone's AgTech platform for the mixed farm (crop + livestock + contractor) of the Southern Cone — the operating system for agriculture. Unlike traditional farm-management software, it doesn't just record — it's a layer of AI agents that see, recommend and execute (always with human approval) across machinery, field work, herds, traceability, weather and finance.
What it is
A cloud-native, Spanish-first platform with three co-primary verticals on one shared core. One establishment, one customer, one login — the operator runs everything from the web and an offline-first mobile app (Flutter, Android APK), built for the field with no signal.
Who it's for
Crop and livestock producers, mixed farms, contractors and advisors across the Southern Cone still running margin, spraying, herds, machinery and traceability on spreadsheets and notebooks.
The verticals
- 🌾 Crop: establishments, GIS fields (GeoJSON), campaigns/seasons, activities and field work with status/progress, gross margin per field/season, and agronomy (N fertilization by balance, economic pest threshold / IPM).
- 🐄 Livestock: herds and animals (RFID tag), stock and inventory, health events and weighings, movements (DT-e), a proactive health plan/calendar, fattening/ADG with fattening margin, reproduction (pregnancy / calving / mortality %) and pasture (stocking rate LU/ha, forage balance).
- 🚜 Contractor: clients, work orders with status and pending invoicing, currency-aware.
The AI agents (the differentiator)
Deterministic compute + natural-language narration. They never fabricate; every action is audited and recommendations are opt-in (they never auto-execute).
- Gross-Margin co-pilot: margin per hectare and per head, break-even yield, sensitivity, narration and PDF export.
- Spray go/no-go agent: an 8-condition deterministic gate + real weather + a PostGIS geofence (geodesic edge-to-edge distance). Never passes silently; it writes the field logbook (GAP) and exports it to PDF.
- Proactive health plan: compliance per herd, an anticipatory schedule and a dashboard KPI.
- Vision agent: crop photo → structured diagnosis → severity-based alert (worker with a dedicated queue).
- Field-centric agent: aggregates everything that comes in on a field (text, voice, photo, video, location) + diagnoses + soil + field work into a grounded per-field summary, with opt-in recommendations.
- In-app assistant: a "getting started" guide and natural-language questions on how to use the platform.
Fleet and telemetry (new)
- Multi-brand machinery dashboard: engine hours, fuel, speed, last position and online status — source-agnostic: own IoT gateway, OEM, or phone GPS.
- John Deere Operations Center connector (OAuth): sync of machines, hours and manufacturer location.
- Phone sensors: share the machine's GPS → Fleet (offline, queued); a voice note → transcribed → creates the field-work entry by itself; camera QR/barcode scanner + OCR.
Satellite and soil intelligence (new)
Public data per field, zero configuration:
- NDVI/GNDVI + time series (Sentinel-2): vigor per field and per zone, evolution.
- Real map (Leaflet) with a satellite basemap and per-sector soil analysis (per-zone heatmap, web and mobile).
- Historical weather (NASA POWER), altimetry (Copernicus DEM) and waterlogging probability.
- INTA soil charts (1:50,000): map unit, land-use capability, taxonomy and series by spatial intersection (PostGIS), with automatic management-zone environments by relief.
Channels and data capture
- Live WhatsApp and email: the field sends a photo, text, audio or location and the plot is resolved automatically (keyword, GPS or picker); per-organization isolated triage; outbound alerts over WhatsApp/email, opt-in per user.
- Self-hosted STT (whisper.cpp): voice-note transcription on our own server.
- Tamper-proof photo evidence (sha256 + verifiable locator), CSV file-import (preview→commit), machinery ISO-XML, PDF export, notifications with an AI-narrated Daily Digest, a cross-vertical dashboard (per-vertical tabs) and an agronomic knowledge base (search + RAG).
Plans and billing
Self-serve plans (Free · Pro · Business · Enterprise) with Stripe Checkout and plan/status sync via webhook.
Security and architecture
Multi-tenant with per-organization isolation, RBAC (6 roles), JWT with rotating refresh and reuse-detection, and AES-256-GCM encrypted secrets per organization. PostgreSQL + PostGIS + pgvector; parameterized queries end to end.
Status
Built and live at https://agroconnect.develone.com (app) and agrocore.develone.com (API), with an Android app (APK). LLM routing is switchable across local Ollama (zero cost per token), Claude, Claude Code and OpenAI; local or OpenAI embeddings.
