Field Intelligence

The first AI field assistant that works at the property level.

Describe what you see. The AI connects the dots — species interactions, regional disease patterns, seasonal timing — backed by ISA standards, USDA data, and university extension research.

Field Intelligence 742 Maple Heights Dr
Three ornamental crabapples along the fence line, orange spotting on leaves. Also have an old eastern red cedar in the back corner.
That combination is a red flag. Malus spp. near Juniperus virginiana is the classic host pair for cedar-apple rust — Gymnosporangium juniperi-virginianae. The fungus needs both species to complete its life cycle. Orange lesions on the crabapple leaves confirm active transfer.

Per OSU Extension, the spore release window in central Ohio is April through mid-June when rainfall exceeds 0.5" and temps are above 50°F. You're in it right now.

Recommendation: Fungicide on the crabapples is reactive — it slows spread but won't eliminate the cycle while the cedar remains within spore range (~1 mile, but proximity worsens severity). Long-term option is replacing the cedar with a non-host conifer or selecting rust-resistant crabapple cultivars on the next planting.

Want me to pull the resistant cultivar list for Zone 6a?
Yeah, and what would you estimate for hours on the cedar removal?
Depends on the size and access — you're the one looking at it. A mature J. virginiana in a back corner with fence-line constraints, I'd estimate 3–4 hours for a solo climber with rigging. But the boots-in-the-dirt number is yours.

How it works

One assessment. Zero busywork.

No laptop. No retyping. No separate systems. Pull your phone out at the truck and everything flows from one place.

01

Assess

Take photos, speak or type your observations, run a Level 1 quick or Level 2 full ISA assessment. Cardinal compass views, canopy shots, root zone — organized by property with before, during, after, and evidence captions that tell the story.

02

Document

Every photo, note, and recommendation is indexed by address, species, and date. The property ledger builds itself. Toggle visibility on anything — clinical notes, risk scores, root zone concerns stay arborist-only with one tap. Your professional judgment stays private.

03

Deliver

Your client portal updates instantly — assessments in plain language, photo grids, seasonal care notes. Scope phases, set prices, deliver quotes from the same screen. Their portal carries your company name, not ours. No PDF export, no email chain, no retyping.

The client experience

Your client sees the whole story. You never retype a thing.

Every assessment, quote, and completed job flows into a client portal branded to your company — not ours. Here's what your client gets:

→

A quote they can read

Phased scope in plain language with photos. No confusing line items. They see what you see — just in words they understand.

→

One-tap approval

Client approves from their phone. You get notified instantly. No email chain, no phone tag, no chasing signatures.

→

Before and after proof

When the work is done, the portal updates with before-and-after photo pairs. Your client sees the transformation. Payment options and status — all in one place.

→

A record that outlasts everyone

Property sells? The client contact clears, but the tree history stays — ready for the next owner, the next arborist, or the next insurer who asks.
