Building the Future of Agricultural Intelligence
LaNova AI was founded on the belief that farming knowledge shouldn't be lost with each generation. We capture, preserve, and make accessible your decades of agricultural expertise—turning it into a lasting legacy.
Our Mission
To democratize agricultural intelligence by making AI-powered insights and voice technology accessible to farming operations of all sizes—preserving decades of knowledge and transforming it into actionable intelligence.
Innovation
We push the boundaries of what's possible with AI, constantly exploring new ways to extract insights from complex data and turn them into simple, actionable recommendations.
Trust
Your assets represent significant investments and personal value. We earn trust through transparency, security, and consistently delivering solutions that protect and enhance your investments.
Impact
We measure success by the real-world impact on our users' lives - from preventing costly repairs to optimizing farm yields and reducing environmental footprint.
Our Story
LaNova AI was born from a simple observation: despite living in an age of incredible technological advancement, farming operations still lose decades of critical knowledge when experienced farmers retire or move on.
Our founders, combining deep expertise in AI technology and agricultural science, recognized that voice intelligence and modern AI could solve this problem. The result is AskMyFarm—a platform that captures farming knowledge through natural conversation and makes it permanently searchable.
Today, we're proving that AI can be both sophisticated and accessible, both powerful and practical. AskMyFarm is already helping farmers preserve their knowledge, optimize their operations, and make better decisions—and we're just getting started.
