Sower

Meet Sower. The regenerative AI grown from real soil science.

Trained on a curated library of regenerative authorities — leading regenerative farmers and ranchers, respected soil-science institutes, ancestral nutrition research, and decades of regenerative practice. Not whatever was on the internet.

One engine. Many modes. All grounded in soil-first thinking.

Sower isn't a stack of separate apps. It's one product with a soil-first knowledge base and different ways of asking it for what you need. Modes ship as they're ready — Conversational opens first, the rest follow.

Why this isn't just ChatGPT

Generic AI gives you a generic answer. Sower gives you the regenerative one.

Most AI is trained on whatever was on the open internet — so the median answer about fixing soil comes out of synthetic NPK marketing, lawn-care chemical brands and industrial farming. The default frame is conventional.

Sower starts from a different library: pioneering regenerative farmers, ranchers who rebuild land by integrating animals, independent soil-science institutes, ancestral-nutrition research. So it knows the difference between USDA Organic (which regulates inputs, not soil-mineral density) and regenerative (which rebuilds the soil itself), and it reaches for compost, cover crops and biological inoculants before any product. Every answer cites its sources, so you can check the reasoning — and push back.

The modes

Ask Sower anything. Then plan your garden with it.

Conversational

Opens first

Ask anything in plain English. Get the regenerative answer, with its sources.

Ask about your soil, your plants, your patch of land, the wider food system. Sower answers from its curated knowledge base and shows you what it drew from — no generic web summaries.

“Why are my tomato leaves yellow at the bottom?” → a diagnostic walk-through of magnesium uptake, calcium balance and watering rhythm, with the authorities behind it.

Garden Planner

In development

Tell Sower your zone, your space and your goals — get a season-by-season planting guide.

How Sower learns

The honest answer about what Sower actually is.

Yes — Sower is built on a large language model, and we don't pretend otherwise. The difference is the constraint: every answer is bound to a curated regenerative knowledge base and told to cite its sources, and when that library doesn't cover something Sower says "I don't know" rather than reaching for the generic web answer. We don't sell your conversations or train outside models on them.
