What’s the AI in PropelMapper actually doing?
The LLM is putting your observations into a structure. The structure is determined by a report configuration for your team. The AI in PropelMapper supports your workflow.
The LLM is putting your observations (photos, voice recordings, notes and forms) into a structure. The structure is determined by a report configuration for your team. The AI in PropelMapper supports your workflow.
What you put in
Whatever you capture on a visit, the AI takes it as raw input:
- 🎤 Voice recordings you make while walking the rows.
- 📷 Photos and videos, tagged to where and when they were taken.
- 📝 Text notes you type in the moment.
- 📋 Forms you fill in during the visit, scouting checklists, metric forms, anything your team has set up.
What you get out
A finished report, structured the way your team expects it. The AI takes the messy raw inputs and slots them into the right places:
- ✍️ Voice recordings become clean, written sections of the report.
- 🖼️ Photos are captioned and placed alongside the section they belong to.
- 📊 Form answers and metrics land in the right fields, ready to compare across farms and seasons.
- 📍 Everything stays tied to the right farm, field, and visit.
Why it follows your team’s structure
Your team decides what a report should look like: the sections, the fields, the order, the tone. That report configuration is the template the AI follows. Two teams using PropelMapper will get two different-looking reports out of the same raw observations, because each one’s template is its own. The AI is not making up a structure; it is filling in yours.
How it supports your workflow
The AI is there to take work off your plate so you can stay focused on the field:
- ⌨️ Types the report, so you don’t have to write it up afterwards.
- 🗂️ Documents the information against the right farm, field, and visit, so nothing gets lost.
- 🔁 Keeps the format consistent, so a report you send today looks like one you’d send next month.
You’re still the one signing
The AI drafts the report; you review it before it goes out. Skim what it has written, check the captions on the photos, fix anything that doesn’t read right. It is an assistant, not a replacement.
Think of it as a personal assistant who types your report and documents information on your behalf.
