AI Insights

AI Insights is an optional add-on that produces a written interpretation of your field, generated from the same data the report shows in tables and heatmaps. Instead of reading numbers, you get a few paragraphs in plain language explaining what the soil is telling you.

You add AI Insights at order time from orders.siora.ai. It’s a one-off charge per analysis date.

What’s in it

The interpretation is broken into five sections, displayed in a 2-column grid in the report:

Summary Four to five sentences on the overall condition of the field: nitrogen, phosphorus, potassium, organic matter, pH, and cation exchange capacity in context together. This is the section most people read first.

Strengths A short note on what the field is doing well, e.g. “balanced organic matter and good cation exchange capacity supporting nutrient retention.”

Limiting Factors The main constraints holding the field back, e.g. “phosphorus is consistently low across the western half, which will cap response to nitrogen application.”

Management Opportunities Actionable suggestions based on the data: liming if pH is low, organic matter strategies, where variable-rate input might pay off.

Physical Profile A one-liner on the field’s texture: how Sand, Silt, and Clay vary across the area, and what that means for water retention and workability.

How it works

The interpretation is generated at the point your order completes, using all per-cell data from the field as input (including the classification labels). It’s designed to combine values across properties rather than reading each one in isolation: low phosphorus on a high-pH soil means something different than low phosphorus on an acidic one, and the interpretation reflects that.

The output is generated once and cached with the order. It doesn’t update over time and doesn’t change between viewers.

What it’s good for

• Sharing the report with someone non-technical: a buyer, a manager, a farm owner who doesn’t read soil chemistry.
• Quick pre-read before a field walk: a paragraph summary is faster than scanning charts.
• A starting point for a more detailed agronomic plan: the limiting factors and opportunities give you a framework to build on.

What it’s not

• Not a prescription: it doesn’t replace an agronomist’s recommendations or generate variable-rate application maps.
• Not legally binding: the language is interpretive, not certified advice.
• Not personalised to your operation: it doesn’t know your crop rotation, equipment, budget, or yield goals. It reads the soil, nothing else.

If you want a more tailored interpretation, the data export in CSV or shapefile form (see Exports) gives you everything an agronomist needs to build a custom plan.

When AI Insights doesn’t appear

If you didn’t buy the add-on, the tab simply isn’t shown. If you did buy it but the generation step had a problem, the tab also won’t appear: contact support if you ordered the add-on and it’s missing from your report.

Next steps

• The report: how the rest of the tabs are laid out.
• Soil properties: the underlying values the interpretation is built from.
