Heidi, the intelligence of the App-écho

An artificial intelligence designed, architected and hosted in house, developed specifically for pastoralism.

Heidi is not a general-purpose assistant grafted onto a product. She lives inside your application, connected to your real data, able to run analyses and guide you in real time. In the connected devices sector for animals, few players offer a conversational assistant. An intelligence genuinely plugged into a farm's data is rare.

Deployed, continuously evolving

What she does for you

Heidi knows your farm. She knows which module you are working on, runs real analyses on your data, shows you the buttons to click in your interface and interprets your results.

She supports you day to day in using the application, and above all in the analysis: once the computation is done, you choose the professional lens, predation, economy, herd management or climate, and she reads the same data again from that angle.

Before answering, she learns your context: your species, your guardian dogs, your terrain, the predation pressure in the area. Her analyses speak of your pasture, not of an average farm.

Today

Knows your farm : your animals, your Geo-Zones, your guardian dogs, your active alerts.
Knows which module you are working on and adapts her answers to the exact context of your screen.
Runs analyses on your data : locomotor energy cost, performances, routes, interactions, herd fidelity.
Reads through the professional lens : predation, economy, herd management, climate.
Shows you the actual buttons to click in your interface, with their real images.
Available in four languages, accessible from any module, on computer as on phone.

What is coming

Plant recognition : one photo, and the species is identified, toxic, pasture indicator or forage.
Veterinary support : symptom analysis, first aid, referral to a veterinarian.
Reading satellite imagery : vegetation cover, state of the pastures, detection of degraded areas.
Global analysis of your data : multi-sensor cross-references, trend detection, personalised recommendations.

Under the hood

Heidi rests on two pillars. A state of the art language engine to understand your questions and formulate natural answers. And an architecture entirely designed, coded and hosted by Alpes-éco Schweiz AG.

The language engine answers the questions. It is our architecture that makes Heidi truly useful to your farm: it fetches your data, triggers our calculators and frames every answer.

What we code

The connection to your data : secure reading of your animals, Geo-Zones and alerts, strictly partitioned by account, read only.
The context of your screen : Heidi knows what you are looking at and adapts her answers in real time.
The orchestration of our calculators : when you request an analysis, she actually triggers our own engines on your data.
The security layer : permission filtering, bypass blocking, logging, continuous learning.
The hosting : our own servers, data processed in Europe.

Security and isolation

Heidi accesses sensitive data. She is bound by strict rules, designed to protect every farm.

Mandatory authentication

Heidi only sees the data of your farm, never that of another.

Role-based isolation

Your employees and collaborators only access what your account allows.

Read only

Heidi never modifies your data. She reads it, analyses it and advises you.

No disclosure

Never technical IDs, database structure or unauthorised personal data.

Anti-bypass

Any attempt to bypass the rules is detected, blocked and logged.

Data processed in Europe

European hosting under the responsibility of Alpes-éco Schweiz AG.
