Research phase — first-generation autonomous greenhouse

The Autonomous Greenhouse Operating System

Proven today in our own 10×4 meter research greenhouse, and engineered to become a zero-effort system anyone can run — governed by deterministic hardware safety, with an optional AI advisor on top.

Not a mockup

A real, working research greenhouse — not a pitch deck

10 × 4 m footprint

Vertical growing racks, hydroponic channels, and potato cultivation barrels (50–100L), running day to day.

eco
Real crops, every cycle

Leafy greens, dwarf and determinate tomatoes, peppers, eggplants, and potatoes — tracked as experiments, not just "did it grow."

sensors
ESP32-based sensing

Soil moisture, temperature and humidity, and tank-level sensors feeding relay-controlled valves and pumps.

family_history
Built by its own user

Designed, wired, and operated by the same person farming it daily — every feature exists because it was needed, not imagined.

Why this is different

Three commitments behind everything we build

biotech

Proven in a real greenhouse

Every feature is first built and run in our own research facility before it's called finished — not designed on a slide.

lock
Core differentiator

Deterministic safety first

The AI proposes, the automation engine disposes. A separate rule engine enforces hard limits on hardware — regardless of what any AI model suggests.

smartphone

A zero-action vision

The long-term goal: anyone, with no farming knowledge at all, running a greenhouse from a single phone screen.

How AASOM works

From sensor to decision, in four steps

01 sensors

Sense

ESP32-based nodes read soil moisture, temperature, humidity, and water levels throughout the greenhouse.

02 shield

Act, safely

A deterministic rule engine reacts immediately — irrigation, venting — within hardcoded safety limits, with manual override always available.

03 psychology

Learn & advise

The AI Brain — a separate, optional layer — learns each greenhouse's patterns over time and gives plain-language advice.

04 smartphone

See & decide

The farmer sees everything from one app, and only has to act when they actually want to.

Deterministic safety architecture

AI proposes,
the automation engine disposes

We never let an AI model control a water valve or pump directly. Even if a model is wrong, slow, or simply unavailable, a local, deterministic controller is the one actually acting on hardware.

What a customer gets

A platform, not just hardware

Install the kit, open the app. Monitoring and automation work out of the box — the AI advisor and deeper controls are there when you want them.

monitoring

Live monitoring

Soil, climate, and water conditions, visible from the app in real time.

water_drop

Automated irrigation & climate

Watering and basic climate control run on their own, within safe limits.

notifications_active

Instant alerts

A push notification when something genuinely needs your attention — nothing else.

psychology

AI advisor

Plain-language explanations of what's happening and why — optional, and never in direct control of hardware.

inventory_2

Farm management, built in

Crop and season tracking, harvest logging, and basic expense tracking — free, no AI required.

groups

Built for a team, or just you

Simple staff and crew tracking for operations bigger than one person.

Research & vision

Every growing cycle is an experiment

We treat farming as an engineering and data problem, not a craft to guess at. Conditions, costs, and outcomes are tracked for every cycle — not just whether the plant grew.

Over time, the data from our own research greenhouse feeds directly back into the AI advisor's knowledge — so lessons learned here reach every future AASOM greenhouse.

About AASOM

Built by its own first user

AASOM is built by an engineer who is also the actual farmer running the greenhouse day to day. Every sensor, automation rule, and app screen exists because it was needed firsthand — not designed in the abstract. That's the whole premise: prove it works on a real farm first, then make it something anyone can run.

Questions

Frequently asked questions

What is AASOM, in one sentence? expand_more

AASOM is an autonomous greenhouse system — sensors and automation that handle irrigation and climate control on their own, with an optional AI advisor layered on top, built and proven in our own working research greenhouse.

Is this available to buy yet? expand_more

Not yet. AASOM is currently a working research system. We're building toward a packaged product and collecting early access interest now.

Do I need any farming experience to use it? expand_more

No. The long-term goal is a system anyone can run with zero farming knowledge — install it, open the app, and the automation handles the rest.

What happens if the AI makes a mistake, or there's no internet? expand_more

The AI only proposes; it never controls hardware directly. A separate deterministic automation engine enforces the real limits and keeps the greenhouse running safely, even without AI or a network connection.

What crops does it support? expand_more

Our research greenhouse currently grows leafy greens, dwarf and determinate tomatoes, peppers, eggplants, and potatoes in barrels, across vertical racks and hydroponic sections.

Is my data private? expand_more

Each customer's data is kept in their own isolated account; we do not share greenhouse data between customers.

How is this different from a regular smart-irrigation gadget? expand_more

Most smart-irrigation gadgets are single-purpose timers. AASOM combines a full sensor and automation stack with a learning AI advisor and a mobile app, aimed at running an entire greenhouse end to end, not just one valve.

How can I get involved as a customer, investor, or partner? expand_more
