Ask Sprigg

Ask Sprigg is your conversational AI lawn care advisor. It has access to your property data, weather conditions, disease risk, water budget, and irrigation system — so it can give you personalized, data-driven answers and even take actions on your behalf.

What You Can Ask

Ask Sprigg anything about your lawn care. Some examples:

"Should I water today?"
"What's the disease risk for my lawn this week?"
"When should I apply pre-emergent in my area?"
"My lawn has brown patches — what could it be?"
"Start zone 3 for 15 minutes"
"What fertilizer should I use this month?"
"Show me my lawn photos from last week"
"How much water has my front yard received this week?"
"Add a mowing event for today"

Built-In Tools

The AI assistant isn't just conversational — it can take real actions through built-in tools:

Start Irrigation Zone

Say something like "Start the front yard for 20 minutes" and Sprigg will send a command to your controller. It uses fuzzy zone name matching, so you don't need to know exact zone numbers. Duration can be 1-60 minutes.

Stop Irrigation

Say "Stop watering" or "Turn off all zones" to immediately stop any running zones on your controller.

Check Irrigation Status

Ask "What zones are running?" to get the current status of your irrigation system.

Add Calendar Entry

Say "Log that I fertilized today" or "Add a mowing event for yesterday" and Sprigg will create a care plan entry for you.

Get Lawn Photos

Ask "Show me my recent lawn photos" or "Show me photos from March" to retrieve photos you've uploaded. You can also filter by date range. If your photos have been analyzed, the AI can reference health scores and diagnosis results to give more informed answers about your lawn's condition.

Save Feedback

If something isn't working right or you have a suggestion, just tell Sprigg. It will log your feedback directly for the team to review.

Save Memory

Tell Sprigg something it should remember about your lawn or preferences — for example, "Remember that my back yard gets waterlogged after heavy rain." Sprigg will save this context and reference it in future conversations.

Tip: The AI can chain up to 3 tool calls in a single response. For example, asking "Start zone 2 for 10 minutes and add a watering event" will both start the zone and log the entry.

Context-Aware Responses

Every conversation with Ask Sprigg includes real-time context about your property:

Current and forecasted weather conditions
Disease risk levels and active triggers
Weekly water budget status for all zones
Your zone configuration and metadata
Recent irrigation history
Your lawn care calendar
Property details (grass type, soil, region)

This means you don't need to give Sprigg background information — it already knows your lawn. The AI's communication style also adapts to your configured expertise level (beginner, intermediate, or advanced).

Chat Threads

Conversations are organized into threads. Each thread maintains context, so you can have ongoing discussions about a topic. You can:

Start a new thread — Begin a fresh conversation
Resume a thread — Continue where you left off
Delete a thread — Remove a conversation and its history

Chat Limits

The number of chat messages you can send per month depends on your plan. Your current usage and remaining messages are displayed in the chat interface. When you reach your monthly limit, you'll see a link to upgrade your plan for continued access.

Tool usage (starting zones, adding events, etc.) counts toward your chat limit since each action requires an AI interaction.
