16+ autonomous agents read every field through sensors, drones, satellites, and lab instruments — from soil and weather down to microbiome, genetics, and biochemistry. Every growing decision made autonomously, optimized for the lowest-input path that preserves the biology beneath the surface. Delivered via WhatsApp in your language — even where the network doesn't reach. Healthier food, not just more food.
Each agent specializes in a different aspect of field management — and every one accounts for the living biology beneath the surface. Some act autonomously. Others recommend actions and wait for your confirmation via WhatsApp. New agents are added every quarter as the system learns more about the land it works. Click any card to learn more.
Continuous soil monitoring, microbiome health, and fertilizer optimization
Monitors soil moisture, pH, NPK, and temperature continuously. Produces fertilizer recommendations per plot — calibrated to protect microbial activity and reduce synthetic input load.
Automated irrigation from soil and weather data
Combines soil moisture, weather forecasts, and crop water needs to trigger irrigation automatically.
Computer vision for early threat detection
Computer vision analyzes camera and drone imagery for threats. Delivers early warnings and treatment protocols via WhatsApp — prioritizing biological controls before chemical intervention.
Optimal harvest date from maturity and market data
Cross-references maturity indicators, weather forecasts, and market prices to determine optimal harvest date per plot.
Next-season crop and variety recommendations
Recommends what to plant next season based on soil history, climate projections, and market demand data. Rotation plans account for soil biology recovery between seasons.
Satellite crop health scoring and shade management
Satellite and drone data for continuous crop health scoring, shade management, and intervention zone mapping.
Hyperlocal 72-hour forecasts and extreme alerts
Hyperlocal forecasting fused with on-farm sensor data. 72-hour field-level forecasts and extreme weather alerts sent automatically.
Auto-order seeds and fertilizer at best prices
Auto-calculates input needs from the crop plan, finds best prices at nearest agro-dealers, and places orders via M-Pesa.
Speak in your language, get AI responses by voice
Farmers speak in their language via WhatsApp voice notes or phone call. AI responds with spoken recommendations, alerts, and confirmations in 2,000+ languages. No typing, no reading required.
Match seasonal workers to harvest demand
Matches seasonal labor demand with available workers based on crop calendar, harvest timing, and local labor registry. Handles worker scheduling, task assignments, and mobile money payments.
Adapt crop optimization for controlled environments
Labs cross-pollination agent that adapts field-tested crop optimization protocols for controlled environment agriculture. From ground to orbit — what works on African farms can feed Mars.
Aquifer mapping, irrigation scheduling, rainwater harvesting
Maps aquifer levels, optimizes irrigation scheduling, and designs rainwater harvesting systems based on terrain and seasonal patterns. Maintains the moisture levels that keep soil microbiomes intact. End-to-end water resource management across the farm.
Digital-twin simulations of your farm before you act
Runs thousands of simulated seasons against your specific soil, climate, and crop mix. Stress-tests every recommendation before it leaves the system — drought scenarios, pest outbreaks, price shocks, input shortages, microbiome degradation. The farmer never sees a decision that hasn't already survived 10,000 bad seasons.
Deep crop-specific expertise, on-demand, in any language
A specialist for every crop. Trained on decades of peer-reviewed agronomy research, Watoko field data, and the accumulated know-how of the best agronomists on the continent. Farmers ask it questions in their own language; it answers with the depth of a PhD and the plainness of a village elder. Routes the hardest cases to a human specialist on our team.
Onboarding, training, and continuous support for every user
Walks every new farmer, manager, and agronomist through setup, training, and first-season operations. Detects when a user is struggling — unanswered prompts, missed irrigation windows, declining engagement — and intervenes with targeted help. The reason Watoko can onboard a rural cooperative in an afternoon instead of a quarter.
Contracts, compliance, and land-tenure documentation
Drafts cooperative bylaws, buyer contracts, input-supply agreements, and land-tenure documentation. Tracks regulatory changes across every jurisdiction Watoko operates in. Flags compliance risks before they become problems. For the smallholder farmer, it replaces the lawyer she could never afford. For the cooperative manager, it replaces the quarterly stack of unread filings.
"My soil has a voice now. Every morning I know what it needs, what's changing, and what to do — in my own language, on my own phone, whether the network is there or not."— James K., Smallholder coffee farmer · Nyeri County, Kenya

"My mother runs her farm by talking to her phone. No typing, no reading, no intermediary. She asks a question in Ekegusii and the answer comes back in Ekegusii. That's the first time technology has ever spoken her language."— David O., Cooperative manager · Kisii, Kenya
Brain fuses 5 distinct data streams into a single, coherent picture of every plot on your farm — above and below the surface.
Soil moisture, pH, NPK, temperature, humidity, and microbial activity proxies. LoRaWAN connectivity across all plots.
NDVI, canopy cover, field boundaries, forest monitoring. Sentinel-2 + SatLogic.
Pest/disease detection, fruit maturity, weed identification. Edge AI processing.
Topography, crop counting, damage assessment, shade canopy analysis.
Forecasts, historical patterns, microclimate models from multiple providers.
We built for complex environments — places where networks fail, infrastructure is thin, and the signal drops. Rural Africa was the training ground. The same architecture runs in sealed greenhouses, remote research stations, and closed-loop habitats. Intelligence does not stop when the signal does.
Sensors transmit over LoRaWAN with 15km range — no cellular network required. On-device models process data at the edge.
Every recommendation can be delivered via SMS or USSD on basic phones. Voice Agent works over standard phone calls — no data needed.
Actions queue locally and sync when connectivity returns. No data loss, no missed decisions, no gaps in the timeline.
Satellite imagery and crop models cached locally. Field teams access full farm intelligence without a connection.
Nearby devices relay data through mesh networks, extending coverage across valleys, hills, and areas without towers.
All field sensors run on solar. No grid power, no batteries to replace. Deploy and forget — they just work.
Brain’s biological readings power every other engine — and Labs’ discoveries flow back to make Brain smarter every season.
Yield predictions power forward contracts. Harvest quality data sets fair pricing. Market price signals optimize harvest timing and next-season crop selection.
Farm performance data enables credit scoring. Satellite data triggers insurance payouts. Credit enables farmers to invest in better inputs.
Every sensor reading, soil microbiome sample, and satellite image feeds research models — from smallholder farms on Earth to closed-loop life-support trials in orbit. Labs returns optimized protocols for plant genomics, climate-resilient breeding, and biomolecular discovery that improve Brain's recommendations every season.

Brain uses LoRaWAN connectivity for sensor data, which works independently of cellular networks with ranges up to 15km. Satellite imagery is processed in the cloud. Recommendations are delivered via SMS when WhatsApp isn't available, and the Voice Agent works over basic phone calls. The system is designed for low-connectivity environments from the ground up.
Each agent cross-validates data against multiple sources. If a soil sensor sends anomalous readings, the system flags it and compensates using satellite data and neighboring sensor readings. You'll receive a maintenance alert, and our field team can replace faulty hardware within 48 hours.
Brain starts delivering value from day one using regional models trained on thousands of farms. Within 1 season, the system calibrates to your specific soil biology, microclimate, and practices. By season 2, recommendations are highly personalized and outperform regional averages.
No. Brain works with whatever data is available. You can start with satellite imagery alone (zero hardware cost) and add sensors progressively. Each additional data source improves precision, but the system provides value at every level. See our Grants program for subsidized hardware.
Yes. Brain delivers recommendations via SMS and USSD for basic phones. The Voice Agent works over standard phone calls — just dial in and speak. Cooperative managers with smartphones can also relay information to members during group meetings.
