“An entrepreneur is someone who builds a project around a problem. There must be a problem for there to be a business. There must be something to solve. And there is no better time than crises to identify lots of problems.”
This reflection perfectly sums up the birth of Hector.
The agricultural crisis of 2024 highlighted an urgent need: simplifying administrative procedures for farmers. Between CAP declarations, records of phytosanitary treatments, invoice management and the new standards piling up, running a farm has become a real bureaucratic headache. Faced with this reality, a team of enthusiasts, in collaboration with farmers, decided to create Hector, an intelligent assistant capable of taking care of these repetitive and time-consuming tasks.
A Tool Designed by a Farmer, for Farmers
Hector is not the product of a large group or a start-up far removed from the realities of the field. It was created by a farmer who experiences the same issues as his peers every day. Knowing the challenges of the trade perfectly, he wanted to develop a tool that truly meets the needs of farmers.
The first tests took place directly on his own farm, in concrete situations: field monitoring, management of administrative deadlines, recording treatments, and much more. Each improvement was tested and refined in the field with a simple objective: save time and reduce farmers' mental load.
Artificial Intelligence Serving Agriculture
What makes Hector unique is its ability to harness artificial intelligence to automate and simplify farmers' lives. More than a simple management tool, it is a true intelligent assistant capable of:
- Understand and record activities simply through a conversation
- Provide instant answers to regulatory questions
- Structure farm data without requiring tedious manual input
And this is just the beginning! With constant advances in artificial intelligence, Hector marks the starting point of a true agricultural revolution. Far from being fixed, the tool will continue to evolve to adapt to new regulations and the changing needs of farmers.
Say Goodbye to Tedious Software!
Hector doesn't just digitize what already exists; it revolutionizes how farmers interact with their data. No more wasting time on complex software, re-entering information or fearing to miss an important deadline. With Hector, a simple conversation is enough to organize your farm.
The Agriculture of the Future, Starting Today
Hector's story shows that a crisis can also be a catalyst for innovation. This project is not only an answer to current difficulties; it lays the foundations for a more modern agriculture where technology serves farmers and not the other way around.
The adventure is just beginning. With constantly evolving regulations and agricultural needs, Hector will continue to adapt and develop alongside those who make it live: the farmers themselves.
