Agtonomy

Autonomous farming robot and field-management app

Agtonomy builds TeleFarmer, an autonomous AI-driven farming system that helps farmers manage fields more efficiently. The core product is the TeleFarmer device, a robot that can perform labor-intensive tasks in tough terrain, paired with a mobile app that lets farmers plan activities, assign tasks, and track progress and performance. The device handles field work while the app provides an overview and control from a single screen. Unlike traditional farming tools, TeleFarmer combines physical automation with task-management software, making it easier to run operations with less manual labor and better data visibility, and the company often offers trials and partnerships to attract customers. The goal is to increase farm productivity and profitability by reducing labor effort and enabling better decision making through data.
