What it does

Every week: the latest clear satellite picture of each field, the week's weather, a field note by xMap AI, emailed and saved to Google Drive.

In one sentence: Mondays at 08:00, take your table, get satellite pictures, get the 7-day weather forecast, write a summary of each with xMap AI, then email the list to you and create file from text in Google Drive.

Why it is useful

Walking every field every week is impossible on a large farm. A picture from space with the forecast shows where to look first.

The time it saves

Mondays at 08:00. Doing the same work by hand takes about 120 minutes each time; it runs about 4 times a month, so it saves about 8 hours a month (an estimate). It is medium: 7 blocks.
