AI Insights

Automatic contamination risk alerts and a weekly digest of your operation, written by AI from your data.

AI Insights

AI Insights are short written analyses of your operation that Sporeline generates on a schedule. There’s nothing to set up: they appear once you have block data. Open them from Analytics > AI Insights in the sidebar.

AI Insights are included on every plan.


Types of Insight

Contamination Risk

Once a day, Sporeline works out your contamination rate over the same days as your dashboard, today and the 30 days before it, and over the 31 days before that. The rate is the contaminations recorded in the period divided by the blocks started in it (lot units on a lot-tracked farm), on your farm’s calendar. It’s the same rate your dashboard shows, and it counts a contaminated block whether your farm discards it or keeps it in the Contaminated stage. Sporeline writes a Contamination Risk insight only when something needs attention:

  • the contamination rate is above 5%, or
  • the rate has risen by more than 3 percentage points since the period before.

The insight has a severity level, a title, and a summary, and it’s based on your contaminations by type and by recipe. Click Show details to see its numbered recommendations. If contamination is within the normal range, no insight is written.

Weekly Digest

Every Monday, Sporeline writes a Weekly Digest for each farm that has block history. It covers the 7 full days before that Monday and compares them with the week before: blocks started, contaminations and the contamination rate, harvests and yield, and blocks finished. It also gives your active blocks and blocks by stage right now, which are current totals and not the week’s activity. Then it gives highlights, concerns and a few specific recommendations. The card shows a short summary. Click Show details for the full digest.

Contamination Alerts and the Weekly Digest explains the formula and every number in more detail.


Reading Your Insights

The page lists insights from the last 30 days. Use the tabs to show All, Contamination Risk or Weekly Digest.

When you’ve dealt with an insight, click the X on its card to dismiss it. Dismissed insights move to a Dismissed section at the bottom of the page, shown in a compact form. Dismissing requires the Manager role or above.

Written by AI

Insights are generated by an AI model from the numbers in your account. Treat the recommendations as a starting point and check them against what you see in your grow rooms.


Getting Better Insights

Insights can only be as good as the data behind them. Keep block stages up to date, record contamination on the day you find it, and record every harvest. Data Health shows where your records have gaps.
