In an industry first, Growers Edge is introducing Agcor Xplor, a generative AI tool specifically for the ag lending industry. Built on top of Agcor’s massive proprietary data set and powered by a leading LLM, Agcor Xplor lets ag lenders securely query a vast set of agricultural data with plain language.
The result: you can now find new ways to mitigate portfolio risks, compile prime borrower prospect lists, and generate visual reports exactly how you want – without learning new software.
And because it was built specifically for ag lending, Agcor Xplor is secure from the ground up. No part of the tool touches your internal data, and your inputs never train the algorithm.
Ag lenders today are under pressure to integrate AI, but most solutions aren’t built for them. Agcor Xplor is. Let’s dig into the specifics.
Ask Plain-Language Questions to Uncover Business Insights
Today, software like Agcor helps ag lenders better understand their portfolios, including where excess risk and untapped opportunities lie. But getting to those insights requires learning and navigating the software itself.
Agcor Xplor redefines the relationship between you and your data. Rather than making you learn the language of the software, this is software that “speaks ag.” You can ask plain-language questions to get meaningful insights that can guide your decision making.
For example, you might ask something like “Which properties in Merced County are best positioned as low-risk collateral based on soil health and water availability?” or “At what rate are water costs in the Westlands water district rising or falling, on average?”
Agcor Xplor then generates an answer based on our proprietary data repository, which includes data on soil, water, market conditions, crops, and more. The output might include things like…
- Critical lending considerations
- Agricultural impact analysis
- Business recommendations
- … and more.
Today, your best alternative to Agcor Xplor is to have several senior-level, highly experienced experts on call at all times – or to run a SQL query that might take hours or more to return results. By contrast, Agcor Xplor is user-ready out of the box. You can start asking questions and getting insights the minute you start using it.
Lead Your Organization’s AI Adoption
One comment we’ve heard from several customers who have demo’d Agcor Xplor is that this tool fulfills their organization’s AI mandate or otherwise helps them respond to the pressure to explore AI. If you, like many ag lenders, have been asked by leadership to find a way to incorporate AI into your workflows, you’ll definitely want to demo Agcor Xplor.
Rather than trying to stay on top of the rapidly evolving field of AI yourself, you can use a tool built by experts.
Because Agcor Xplor was built by ag lending industry experts for ag lending industry experts, you don’t have to worry about crafting the perfect prompt to get a sliver of value from a generic LLM. Instead, you can ask the exact questions you need answers to and get useful, timely, highly relevant answers that you can immediately operationalize.
And because this is a product specifically for the ag lending industry, it’s secure end to end. Agcor Xplor never touches your organization’s data, and we don’t use your prompts to train our models (yes, we said it before, but it bears repeating).
Of course, the other question we’ve heard from early testers is whether it’s possible to connect an organization’s own data to the tool. After all, detailed answers about a property are valuable; detailed answers about a property and how it impacts your portfolio are even more valuable.
If you have a similar question, we have good news: we’re working on a version of Agcor Xplor that lets lenders pull in their own data. For more information about that functionality, get in touch.
Help Shape the Future of Ag Lending
Agcor Xplor is the first tool of its kind for ag lenders. As we roll out to early customers, we’ll be doing what we always do: working in unison with those customers to hear what they like, what they wish the tool had, and where they see opportunity for greater utility.
For example: today, the tool lets you generate visual reports that are more customizable than what’s available in Agcor overall. While Agcor lets you create detailed PDF reports, Agcor Xplor makes it possible to create boardroom-ready answers, whether formatted as summaries, charts, maps, or .csv files. This means you can not only move faster from question to insight to action but also “show your work” to get ongoing buy-in.
If you’re interested in being part of the conversations we’re having as we develop Agcor Xplor, don’t hesitate to set up a demo. Already, we’re using early feedback to shape the tool. We’d love to hear your take as well.
Get In-Depth Market and Portfolio Expertise with Zero Tech Requirements
Whether you’re looking to better understand the properties already in your portfolio or identify prime opportunities for expanding, Agcor Xplor can help. Not only that, it can offer you in-depth answers in minutes, without any specialized workflows or query languages.
Ready to take it for a spin? Set up a demo today. We’d love for you to see the tool in action and hear your thoughts on how it can be even more useful to the ag lenders of today and tomorrow.
