Rain
How much did it rain on my farm?
When you ask it on WhatsApp.
Tells you how much rain fell and what's coming, with the source of each number.

Farmers
Your farm, on WhatsApp.No other app.
You send a pin and Ucotron draws your field. Then you ask whatever you want, in plain words: how much it rained, what happened after the storm, how it did season by season. Every answer comes with its source and date.
Also from
Sample WhatsApp conversation: the farmer sends their location, Ucotron proposes the field outline and asks if it's the right one; the farmer confirms, asks how much it rained this week, gets the answer with its source and requests the certificate, which arrives as a signed PDF.
It's not another app
You already have forty apps showing the same thing.Ucotron isn't the 41st.
It's a WhatsApp number that knows your fields. Nothing to learn, no password to forget and no other map to open.
- You write to it like a person.A question in plain words, over WhatsApp. Or from Claude or ChatGPT, if you already use them.
- Every number, with its source and date.Satellite, radar and weather processed with published models and methods. AI converses and cites; it doesn't make up numbers.
- If it doesn't know, it tells you.With clouds there's no optical image: it tells you it can't be seen and when the satellite passes again. Never a zero for lack of data.
- Under your advisor's name.If your insurance broker uses Ucotron, the alert comes to you from them. Not from another app.
After the storm
First, whether it passed over your field.Then, what it did to it.
You ask about a storm or a day and the answer comes in that order. With the satellite image, its date and what can be read in it. Real examples from the engine:
- 01Did it pass over your field?First, the event footprint: when it passed, where and how intense. If it didn't pass there, it tells you before anything else.
- 02What did it do?Then, the effect: the same field before and after, with the date of each image and the confidence of the reading.
- 03And if it can't be seen?With clouds, optical can't see and radar is tried. If that still isn't enough, the answer is "can't be seen," which isn't the same as "it didn't happen."

A day on the farm
You work.Recipes run on their own.
Ucotron watches your fields all day and writes to you when there's something to say. And when you ask, it answers with the source.
Your field's history
Every season, since 1999/00.And how it did against its neighbors.
The likely crop season by season, the field's greenness every two weeks, and a comparison with neighboring fields of the same crop. Each source from the year it begins: Landsat from 1999, Sentinel-2 from 2017. Real example: a field near Pergamino.

Questions from farmers
What people ask usbefore getting started.
Do I have to download another app?
No. Ucotron lives in WhatsApp: you message it like a person. If you already use Claude or ChatGPT, you can ask it from there too.
Is it the same as SMN alerts?
No. Zone alerts are free and they're fine. Ucotron looks at your field: what rained there, whether the storm passed over it, and what the image shows afterward.
What if my fields aren't mapped?
You send a pin, coordinates, the KMZ or the Excel you already have. Ucotron proposes the boundary and you confirm it's the right one.
What happens if it's cloudy?
It tells you: “can't be seen,” with the date of the next usable image, and it tries radar. It never shows you a zero for lack of data.
Does an AI make up the numbers?
No. The numbers come from satellites, radar and climate models, processed with published methods. The AI understands your question, writes the answer and cites the source.
Who pays for it?
During the founding-farmer season, no one. After that, the Essential plan costs USD 9 a month. If your co-op or your insurance broker uses Ucotron, they can pay for it for you.
