Ara (AI Sawitara)
Rule-based anomaly sentinels running hourly over estate, mill and finance data, plus an AI assistant (Ask Ara) that answers with operational data summaries once the customer configures an AI provider.
What Ara fixes
Anomalies found at month end
Uncollected crop, low OER or heavy diesel use show up only in the monthly report.
Every question needs a new report
Board questions are answered by pulling data from several departments by hand.
What exists today, and what comes next
Status is stated honestly against the application code.
- Available in the code today and tested
- Preview partly available, with limits stated
- Coming soon planned or in development, not available yet
- AvailableScheduled anomaly sentinels
Fixed-rule checks (not an AI model) every hour: crop left over 24 hours, bunch weight out of range, OER below threshold, diesel ratio above limit, large fund requests, stock below reorder point.
- AvailableFinding follow-up
Findings per agent with severity, acknowledged, then resolved with an action note for audit.
- AvailableAI assistant and workspace (Ask Ara)
Ask in everyday language; operational data summaries are included as context. Active once an AI provider is configured.
- AvailableCustomer-chosen AI provider
OpenAI-compatible API chosen and configured by the customer; API keys are stored encrypted.
- Coming soonContextual Ask Ara per product
Questions and data follow the product in use.
- Coming soonAnonymous cross-mill benchmarks
Aggregates only, with written consent from each mill.
Honest note: In the app Ara appears as the Ara · Sentinel and Ask Ara menus (plus an Ask Ara button in the header). Questions and their context are sent to the AI provider you configure; AI answers can be wrong, so always check the source screen. Without a provider only the sentinels run, on your server.

Quick answers
Does Ara send data outside?
Sentinels run on your server without any AI service. The assistant only works once you configure an AI provider; questions and their data summaries are then sent to that provider.
Does Ara detect fraud?
We do not claim that. Sentinels flag figures outside the rules you set, for a person to review.
Can Ara be switched off?
Yes. The AI module can be disabled from the Modules & Packages screen without deleting data.
