Underlying model
GDPR check for horticulture US provider; own 'physics-aware' AI, not public which models are used or where data is stored. Ask about EU hosting and transfers to the US. Many tools build on a large model from, for example, OpenAI or Anthropic. If in doubt, ask for the data processing agreement: it states where your data goes.
Questions about Koidra KoPilot
- Which AI model does Koidra KoPilot use?
- The maker of Koidra KoPilot does not disclose which AI model sits underneath. US provider; own 'physics-aware' AI, not public which models are used or where data is stored. Ask about EU hosting and transfers to the US.
- How much does Koidra KoPilot cost?
- DataPilot $10, Maintenance $35, Predix $55 per user/month; KoPilot on request. Check the current price on the provider's website; prices change often.
- Who is Koidra KoPilot for?
- Koidra KoPilot is aimed at greenhouse horticulture, industry & manufacturing. It fits work such as autonomously steering climate, irrigation and lighting based on sensor data and weather forecasts, forecasting harvest and production weeks ahead for planning, sales and staffing, and detecting pests and diseases early with cameras, sticky traps, drones and scouting robots.
- What should I look out for with AI in greenhouse horticulture?
- Cultivation and climate data are commercially sensitive: they reveal your growing strategy, yield and energy consumption. Put in the contract that you remain owner of your data, where it is stored (ask for EU hosting) and whether the provider may use anonymised data from your greenhouse to improve its algorithms. If there is a chat function, ask which language model and which sub-processors sit behind it; most greenhouse platforms do not disclose this. If you record labour per employee, or cameras and robots capture images showing staff, you are processing personal data: conclude a data processing agreement and inform your employees. Never let an autonomous control system run without boundaries: set minimum and maximum values, keep alerts active and remain ultimately responsible for the crop and crop protection yourself.
