Web v0.7.14 · Mobile v0.1.6

Easier tickets, clearer plans

Less setup when a load comes in. A clearer picture of your plan. And a few small things that make the day go better.

  • Log a load without setting up every list first

    Improved

    Type a driver, crop, bin, or field directly when adding a scale ticket, or leave those details blank. Gross and tare weights are all you need to save a ticket; your saved lists are still there as suggestions.

    Shipped by AidanWebMobile
  • Your plan and usage, at a glance

    New

    See your farm’s plan, remaining usage, and what comes next beside your chats and in Billing on the web, or in your account menu on your phone. Farms with a dated free beta see its countdown and a clear explanation when access pauses.

    Shipped by AidanWebMobile
  • Keep undated jobs on the shop screen

    Fixed

    Open tasks without a due date now appear alongside today’s jobs. Work without a deadline stays in sight, and finished jobs stay visible for the day you complete them.

    Shipped by AndrewWeb
  • A heads-up before your free beta ends

    Improved

    Farms with a dated free beta receive reminders on the web before it ends. Billing shows the end date and, after choosing a deferred plan, the first charge date; the ended screen explains how to resume access and confirms your records are still there.

    Shipped by AidanWeb
  • Find a field’s loads by the names you use

    Improved

    Ticket searches and totals recognize a field’s recorded aliases and linked John Deere name, helping bring its loads together. Ambiguous names stay separate instead of assigning a load to the wrong field.

    Shipped by AidanWebMobile
Web v0.7.13

A place for the whole farm to look

A shared view of the working day, made for the screen on your shop wall.

  • Meet the shop screen

    New

    Open /shop while signed in to see today’s jobs, bin levels, equipment fuel, and weather together on a full-screen display. Each section refreshes automatically. Data follows your farm’s access permissions; check the weather location shown before relying on the forecast.

    Shipped by AndrewWeb
Web v0.7.12 · Mobile update · October 26 · Mobile v0.1.6 · October 29

More context. Less waiting around.

More of your field’s story in one place, easier uploads, and a clearer view of what AgAnswers is working on.

  • John Deere operations join your field history

    New

    For connected farms with access to John Deere data, field history brings seeding, applications, tillage, and harvest alongside your own records. See dates, products, rates, acres, and the source of each operation, with machine details where your access allows.

    Shipped by AidanWebMobile ·
  • Bring your files together in one upload

    Improved

    Upload a ZIP of PDFs, images, and audio from chat or Files. AgAnswers recognizes the documents inside, shows their progress, and prepares them for your questions. You can also select a larger batch without splitting it into groups of ten.

    Shipped by AidanWebMobile ·
  • See the work behind your answer

    Improved

    Longer questions now show the current step and elapsed time, so a busy assistant doesn’t look frozen. Steps using John Deere data carry its mark, making it easier to see where an answer is coming from.

    Shipped by AidanWebMobile ·
  • Pick back up after a dropped connection

    Fixed

    If your connection drops while AgAnswers is working, chat tries to reconnect and recover the latest progress. If it can’t reconnect, you’ll see a clear message instead of an answer that looks finished or a spinner that never stops.

    Shipped by AidanWebMobile ·
  • Find John Deere fields on the map

    Fixed

    Connected Deere fields appear in the map list before you search, even when your farm has no fields entered by hand. The map frames your farm or selected field, avoids duplicate linked outlines, and keeps your chosen view when data refreshes.

    Shipped by AidanWebMobile ·
  • Keep every question in the conversation

    Fixed

    Send several messages while AgAnswers is working and it keeps track of the questions still awaiting an answer. A newer correction can still change the request, while separate questions are addressed together.

    Shipped by AidanWebMobile
  • Fewer interruptions during a detailed answer

    Fixed

    Fixed two causes of answers stopping unexpectedly, including longer work with photos, maps, and reports. AgAnswers can keep using an image while the analysis continues.

    Shipped by GeneWebMobile
  • Get to the right farm after signing in

    Fixed

    One web form handles signing in and creating an account. Invitations and links keep their destination, and signing in selects an available current or default farm instead of leaving you on a blank page or sending you to the wrong place.

    Shipped by AidanWeb
  • A user guide within reach

    New

    Open /help while signed in to read the AgAnswers user guide, with a table of contents and illustrated walkthroughs. The guide opens in its own scrollable page.

    Shipped by GeneWeb
Web v0.7.11 · Mobile v0.1.5

A smoother day on the farm

Get to your files sooner, move between farms more easily, and spend less time looking for the controls you need.

  • Your files, without the wait

    Improved

    Files opens on the documents added by your farm, without waiting for every generated view to load. Choose “Made for you” when you want those views, or “All” to see both; switching between them keeps what’s already loaded.

    Shipped by AidanWeb
  • Switch farms from one simple menu

    Improved

    Open the farm name to switch farms, accept an invitation, or create a new farm. Everything lives in one dropdown, with your current farm clearly marked.

    Shipped by AidanWeb
  • The controls you need stay in sight

    Improved

    The sidebar’s collapse control and chat menus are always visible. Fold Today, Yesterday, or Older to tidy up your conversations; a small indicator still lets you know when something inside needs your attention.

    Shipped by AidanWeb
  • More reliable dictation on iPhone

    Fixed

    Fixed a recording-format problem that could prevent voice dictation from being transcribed on newer iPhones. Recordings now use a compatible format, with a recovery step for older recordings the transcription service can’t read.

    Shipped by AidanMobile
  • More useful field and equipment records

    Improved

    See where record information came from, filter fields by their latest recorded crop, and reach a field from its tickets. Lease lists put approaching end dates first, and ticket lists can be edited from Tickets.

    Shipped by AidanWeb
  • Spot the conversations that need you

    Improved

    Unread and attention markers make it easier to find a reply you have not opened or a conversation waiting for your next step.

    Shipped by AidanWebMobile
  • Keep your workspace preferences and accounts straight

    Improved

    Theme and layout preferences follow your account on the web. Add or switch signed-in accounts from the person menu, with unsent chat drafts kept for accounts that remain signed in.

    Shipped by AidanWeb
  • See changes to record privacy

    New

    Managers can open Change history in Settings to review privacy changes and confirmed John Deere links, with the person and time recorded. Entries follow your access to the underlying records.

    Shipped by Aidan & GeneWeb
  • Ask more of your Operations Center data

    New

    For connected farms with the required access, AgAnswers can read Operations Center data on demand, including field-operation files and map points. It can analyze that data without asking you to export each file by hand.

    Shipped by AidanWebMobile
  • Keep chat working across open tabs

    Fixed

    Fixed a case where several open chat windows could make a send wait unnecessarily. Inactive tabs also pause routine refreshes until you return.

    Shipped by AidanWeb
Web update · Mobile update

Answers from the records you can use

Less switching between chat modes to ask about your farm.

  • Ask from the chat you are already in

    Improved

    AgAnswers can read the records your role allows without making you switch chat modes. New records still use the chat’s privacy setting, and the assistant asks before saving information from a more private record into a less private chat.

    Shipped by GeneWebMobile
Web v0.7.10

Settings, one thing at a time

A little less scrolling, a little more focus.

  • Open just the settings you need

    Improved

    Settings now shows one section at a time and loads it when you open it. Switch sections without losing a half-written prompt or an upload in progress, and use your browser’s Back button to retrace your steps.

    Shipped by GeneWeb
  • Change document privacy with the right role

    Improved

    People whose farm role allows them to change documents can also move those documents between privacy levels they can access. Clear results explain when a change could not be completed.

    Shipped by GeneWeb
Web v0.7.9

A better way to share files in chat

See what you’ve attached, follow its progress, and take a closer look when you need to.

  • See your photos as soon as you pick them

    Improved

    Image previews appear immediately in the composer, with upload progress alongside them. Other files show their name, type, and status, and you can remove an attachment while it’s still uploading.

    Shipped by AidanWeb
  • Take a closer look at sent attachments

    New

    Open a photo from your conversation to zoom in, download it, or move through the other images in that message. Documents open in the file viewer, so the original is always within reach.

    Shipped by AidanWeb
Mobile v0.1.4

Phone chat keeps your place

Read an answer, dictate a follow-up, or finish a prescription from your phone.

  • Read without the conversation jumping

    Improved

    Your sent message stays in view while the answer grows beneath it. Scrolling, opening the keyboard, and loading cards work together more smoothly; past conversations show a loading state instead of a blank panel.

    Shipped by AidanMobile
  • Know your voice message is on its way

    Improved

    After releasing the microphone, chat opens with a Transcribing message that becomes your text. If transcription fails, a clear notice explains what happened.

    Shipped by AidanMobile
  • Readable text after changing iPhone text size

    Fixed

    Changing iOS text size while the app is open now refreshes the layout instead of leaving clipped or overlapping text. You stay on the same screen; an open panel may close as the layout refreshes.

    Shipped by AidanMobile
  • Create and send a reviewed prescription from your phone

    New

    Owners can create the file for the exact prescription shown on the card, then send it to a connected John Deere Operations Center and check its import status. Dates and rates can still be changed through chat.

    Shipped by AidanMobile
Web v0.7.8

An easier prescription review

Choose the rates you intend to use and review the file before creating it.

  • Make a whole-field rate map

    New

    Build a prescription with one rate across the field, alongside the existing imagery-based zone maps. Review the boundary, rate, and units before confirming the file.

    Shipped by AidanWeb
  • Edit and confirm from the card

    Improved

    Review imagery dates, adjust exact rates, and create the confirmed file directly from the prescription card. Boundary previews now preserve holes in the field outline.

    Shipped by AidanWeb
Web v0.7.7 · Mobile update

Your crew, your controls

Clearer farm roles on the web, and a faster start to work on your phone.

  • Set up roles around the work people do

    New

    Managers can choose which kinds of farm records a role can view or change, and create roles for their crew. Membership and management responsibilities are shown separately, with edits reviewed before saving.

    Shipped by GeneWeb
  • Get to the job with fewer taps

    Improved

    The phone app starts in chat unless you have chosen another launch screen. Home uses labeled tabs for each section, and a task checkbox marks work done in one tap. Home layout options live in Settings.

    Shipped by AndrewMobile
  • Tap to talk hands-free

    New

    Tap the dock microphone to keep recording, then choose Send or Cancel. You can still hold to talk and release to send.

    Shipped by AndrewMobile
  • Your preferences survive a restart

    Fixed

    Fixed a problem that could reset Home arrangements, pinned items, theme, and other preferences after force-quitting the app.

    Shipped by AndrewMobile
Web update · Mobile update

Photos and tickets, reading again

A repair to image recognition for new uploads and scans.

  • A fix for failed image and ticket scans

    Fixed

    Fixed a problem that could stop AgAnswers from reading uploaded images and scanning scale tickets. New scans can be processed again; an earlier failed upload may still need to be retried.

    Shipped by GeneWebMobile
Web v0.7.5

From prescription to Operations Center

Send the file you reviewed, and see whether John Deere accepted it.

  • Send a confirmed prescription to John Deere

    New

    Choose a connected John Deere organization and send the confirmed prescription from its file card or viewer. A saved receipt shows the import status and lets you resume an interrupted upload. Check the intended field, rate, and units in Operations Center.

    Shipped by AidanWeb
  • Find records and tables in one menu

    Improved

    Records, Datasets, Record Sets, and the Viewer are grouped in the dashboard section menu, with the destinations your farm has available.

    Shipped by AndrewWeb
Web v0.7.4 · Mobile v0.1.2

Review a field prescription in chat

Turn field imagery into a draft you can inspect and adjust.

  • Follow a prescription from analysis to file

    New

    Farm owners can ask for a prescription using a field they can access, then follow its progress in chat. The card shows available imagery dates, clear coverage, and the draft’s zones and rates before you confirm a downloadable file. On the phone, the live summary keeps you informed while you make changes through chat.

    Shipped by AidanWebMobile
  • Keep the settings for each field

    Improved

    On the web, inspect imagery thumbnails, change the dates, and edit three to five zones with exact rates and units. Each field keeps its saved settings, so moving through several field drafts does not mean starting over.

    Shipped by AidanWeb
  • Choose who can see a record set

    New

    When Record Sets is enabled for your farm, you can change a set’s privacy from its Definition view, with the required permission to manage that set. The control explains who can read each level and warns when narrowing access affects links from other tables.

    Shipped by GeneWeb
Web v0.7.3 · Mobile update

Less duplicate work with your files

Keep one useful record, and choose who can see it.

  • Reuse a file you have already uploaded

    Improved

    Repeated uploads can reuse the existing document instead of creating another library record. Removing a chat attachment leaves shared files intact, and a deleted file’s name remains visible in old messages.

    Shipped by GeneWebMobile
  • Change visibility for one file or a group

    New

    Use a file’s menu or the selection toolbar to move records between privacy levels you can access. Before a partial move, you can see which files will change and which cannot.

    Shipped by AidanWeb
Mobile v0.1.1

More of your farm on your phone

Keep tickets moving, find your records, and carry the conversation with you.

  • Keep logging loads when signal drops

    New

    Save scale tickets on your phone when you are offline, see which are waiting to sync, and send them when the connection returns. Queued tickets stay on the device through a restart.

    Shipped by AndrewMobile
  • Start a ticket with a photo

    New

    Take or choose a ticket photo to fill the entry form. Review the readings and any marked uncertainties before saving; photos containing several tickets can be reviewed one load at a time.

    Shipped by AidanMobile
  • Read the original, wherever you are

    New

    Browse documents, switch between the original and what AgAnswers read, and open images, PDFs, and tables. Field and equipment files show thumbnails with zoom, sharing, and a way to ask about the file.

    Shipped by AidanMobile
  • See the work, or listen to the answer

    Improved

    Phone chat shows progress while AgAnswers works. Listen to spoken replies with playback controls, and dictate with farm names available to help recognition.

    Shipped by AidanMobile
  • Move around the app more reliably

    Fixed

    Links from chat open the records they name, and the dock gives you a way home and into other sections. Fixes keep Android chat and file panels open when you tap blank space and prevent closing chat from leaving Send disabled.

    Shipped by AidanMobile
Web v0.6.6

Manage your plan and welcome your crew

Plan details, billing, and team capacity are easier to see, while invited beta farms can get straight to work.

    Improved

    Shipped by AidanWeb
  • Find files on field and equipment records

    New

    Photos and documents linked to a field, machine, or its recorded events now appear with that record. Open a file or ask the assistant about it from the same place.

    Improved

    Setup chooses an app address from your operation name and handles name clashes for you. Connecting John Deere returns you to setup so you can keep going.

    Shipped by AidanWeb

    Improved

    Dictation now uses names already recorded for your operation to help recognize fields, equipment, people, and other farm terms.

    Shipped by AidanWeb
  • Keep conversations intact

    Fixed

    Switching chats while an answer is arriving is more reliable. Reconnecting no longer duplicates your message, and follow-up messages stay in the transcript.

    Shipped by AidanWeb
  • Read dollar amounts clearly

    Fixed

    Dollar amounts in chat answers now display as ordinary currency instead of being mistaken for mathematical notation.

    Shipped by AidanWeb
Web v0.6.1.2

Connect John Deere during setup

A dedicated setup step makes it easier to connect your operation, with clearer connection status.

  • Connect John Deere during setup

    Improved

    A dedicated setup step helps you connect John Deere. The assistant also recognizes when access has been revoked instead of reporting the connection as active.

    Shipped by AidanWeb
Web v0.6.1.1

Ticket photos and clearer field imports

Fill a ticket from a photo, and recover field imports that need your attention.

  • Fill a ticket from a photo

    New

    Choose a photo of a scale ticket to fill the quick-ticket form. Review the extracted values and make any corrections before saving.

    Shipped by AidanWeb
  • Resolve field imports during setup

    Fixed

    Setup now surfaces field-boundary imports that need a decision or another attempt, so an unfinished import is easier to find and complete.

Hear answers sooner and add details as you go

Spoken replies start as the answer arrives, and you can send a correction without stopping the conversation.

    Shipped by AidanWeb
