Soil Analysis
AI Field Assistant
Every field with a completed soil analysis or an active vegetation monitoring subscription gets its own AI Field Assistant — a chat built into the field's dashboard that already knows that field's data. There's nothing to buy and nothing to turn on; it's included automatically.
What it is
The Field Assistant is a chat scoped to a single field, grounded in that field's own soil analysis and vegetation monitoring history — not general knowledge, and not other fields on your account. It's built to answer questions instead of you having to dig through tables, heatmaps, and charts yourself.
Siora AI Field Assistant
What it can help with
- Explain what the soil or monitoring data means
- Help diagnose issues you notice in the field or on the map
- Offer practical guidance and next checks to make
A few starting points, if you're not sure what to ask:
- How do my nutrient levels look?
- Is my field uniform, or should I consider variable-rate?
- How has the vegetation changed recently?
Where to find it
Open a field's dashboard and look for the "Ask Siora AI" button, floating in the bottom-right corner. It's available on any tab, and only to the field's owner — it doesn't appear on reports viewed through a shared link.
Message balance
Messages are credited to the field itself, not your account as a whole, and can only be used for that field:
| Source | Messages granted |
|---|---|
| Soil analysis order | 10 messages |
| Vegetation monitoring subscription | 10 messages |
Balances add up across everything you've ordered for the field and never expire — a field with both a soil analysis and a monitoring subscription has 20 messages to start with. The chat header always shows how many are left, and the input disables once the balance runs out. If a field needs more, contact support.
What it's not
- It only knows this field — not your other fields, and not general farming advice beyond what the data supports.
- It can make mistakes. Verify anything important, especially before acting on it, the same way you would with the AI Insights write-up.
- It's not a substitute for an agronomist — treat it as a fast way to explore your own data, not a source of certified recommendations.
Next steps
- AI Insights — a different kind of AI feature: a one-off written summary generated when your order completes, rather than an ongoing chat.
- Ordering a field — how to get a field's first soil analysis, which is what unlocks the assistant.
- Vegetation monitoring — the other way to add messages to a field's balance.
