The Farm Assistant is an experimental feature. It can make changes to your products and orders, but always shows you a preview and asks for your approval before anything is updated.
Accessing the assistant
In your farmer dashboard, click Assistant in the sidebar navigation. The assistant opens in a full-page chat interface. Type your request in the input field at the bottom and press Enter or the send button.What the assistant can do
The assistant has access to your farm’s data and can:- Answer questions about your orders, products, and farm performance
- Update product prices — you describe the change, it proposes the update for your approval
- Update stock status — mark products in or out of stock by name
- Confirm orders — accept or advance an order’s status by referencing it in your message
- Look up order details — ask about a specific customer, order total, or recent activity
How changes work
For any action that modifies your data — changing a price, updating stock, or advancing an order status — the assistant follows a two-step process:- Proposal: The assistant describes the change it wants to make and shows you the before and after values.
- Confirmation: You click Accept to apply the change or Decline to cancel it.

Tips for getting good results
- Be specific about product names when there could be ambiguity. For example, “update the price of whole milk” is clearer than “update the milk price” if you sell several milk products.
- Reference order numbers or customer names when asking about a specific order.
- One action at a time works best. The assistant handles each change as a separate proposal so you can review it carefully.
- If the assistant isn’t sure which product you mean, it will list the candidates and ask you to clarify before proposing any change.
