chit in the field
An AI voice recorder for farmers and crop scouts
Who carries it: Farm manager / crop scout
Scouting notes should survive the truck ride back. chit is a $129 card you hold to record — an AI voice recorder for farmers and crop scouts that logs field IDs, pest pressure, and equipment faults as you say them. By evening a field report is drafted, with spray and irrigation decisions queued as next steps.
Scouting notes that survive the truck ride back.
When a farm manager presses it
- Field scouting observations
- equipment issues
- labor coordination
- agronomist calls
“Row-crop farm manager; log field IDs, pest pressure, and equipment faults.”
A context like this — typed once into the app — is how chit stops being a generic recorder and starts being yours.
Field report drafted; spray and irrigation decisions queued.
Scouting observations by field, searchable when the agronomist calls back.
Farm data stays in the co-op's or owner's VPC.
Scouting notes that survive the season
Field scouting produces the observation that matters in August from a walk taken in June, and the gap between the two is where crop decisions get made on memory. Narrate as you scout: the field ID, the pest pressure, the stand count, the equipment fault, what the agronomist said on the phone. The field report drafts that evening and the spray and irrigation decisions queue as next steps. Across a season, ask-anything search turns a year of walks into something you can actually query — which field, which pest, when it was first seen. Managers also use it for the labour and equipment side: the operator who reported a fault, the tractor that started making a noise in the north half, the tank mix that needs ordering before Thursday.

Good questions
Does it work in fields with no cell coverage?
Yes. chit records offline and syncs when you're back in signal. The battery runs about a month of typical use, so it lives in a shirt pocket, not on a charger.
How do scouting notes turn into a field report?
Say the field ID and what you're seeing as you scout. Every recording is transcribed, and the daily digest drafts the field report with spray and irrigation decisions queued as next steps.
Can I find last month's observations for a specific field?
Yes — ask-anything search covers everything you've captured, so naming fields as you record means you can pull up any field's history later.
Can I capture a call with my agronomist?
chit captures whatever is said while you hold the button, so an in-person walkthrough or a speakerphone conversation can be recorded and lands in the same searchable transcript history.
Who owns the data if the co-op provides the devices?
Enterprise fleets deploy with data resident in the co-op's or owner's own VPC, so farm data stays under your control. See hichit.com/enterprise.
Recording laws differ by state, and several require every party's consent. chit only captures while the button is held — know your state's rule before recording another person.
