Animal in distress at 2am? Question about a tick that doesn't look right? Wondering what's normal for a heifer this close to calving? PaddockMateIQ's AI farm assistant draws on your animal's full history to give grounded, Australian-context answers — 24/7.
Generic AI chatbots don't know your animals. The PaddockMateIQ assistant does — because it's wired into your health records, weights, journal entries and species defaults. When you ask a question, the answer is grounded in your context, not the open internet.
Pale gums, can't stand, suspected snake bite, bloating — the assistant walks you through what to check and when to call a vet immediately.
Drench rotation, antibiotic withholding periods, parasite treatment selection — answers calibrated to Australian products and conditions.
Stages of labour, when to intervene, what's normal vs. concerning. Step-by-step guidance based on the species and history of the animal.
Mineral supplementation, paddock rotation, vaccination scheduling, BCS interpretation. The kind of questions you'd ask a knowledgeable neighbour.
The assistant has access to the records you've logged for that animal, so it can connect today's symptom to last month's drench or last year's vet visit.
Tick paralysis, Pimelea poisoning, fly strike, ryegrass staggers, drench resistance — the assistant treats Australian conditions as default, not exception.
When you ask the assistant a question — say, "my heifer hasn't eaten since yesterday and is standing alone" — it doesn't reach for a generic answer. It pulls in the heifer's species, age, recent weight, last vaccination, paddock and any recent journal notes, then runs the question through Google's Gemini model with that context.
The answer is faster and more accurate than searching online — because it's not just about what's possible in a heifer, it's about what's plausible in your heifer. And because every conversation is logged, you can come back to it weeks later if the situation evolves.
Help interpret symptoms, suggest possible causes, talk through emergency steps, recommend when to call a vet, summarise an animal's history, and answer general husbandry questions — drenching, breeding, mineral supplementation and more.
No. It's decision support, not diagnosis. Designed to help you triage situations, get organised before a vet call, and bridge the gap when no vet is available — the platform always recommends professional veterinary care when symptoms warrant it.
It draws on your animal profiles, health records, weights and recent journal entries. When you ask a question, the relevant context for that animal is included — so answers are tailored to your specific mob.
AI requests go to the inference provider (Google Gemini) over an encrypted connection, scoped to the animals you're asking about. Your data is not used to train external models.
The free tier includes a generous AI quota. Heavier use is in the upcoming paid plans (Plus and Breeder) — founding-member pricing available now via the waitlist.
