Continuous ingestion
Every sensor reports roughly every ten minutes. GAIN keeps the full history, not a sampling, so trends are visible long before symptoms are.
GroundWorx Autonomous Intelligence Network
Intelligence that reads the ground and recommends the next move.
GAIN is the software layer that turns millions of readings into a short list of decisions your team can act on this morning.
Sensors tell you what is happening. GAIN tells you what it means and what to do about it. It watches every SmartLocation on your property, compares conditions against what your turf actually needs, and surfaces the handful of decisions that change the outcome of the day.
How it works
Six layers between raw signal and a confident call.
Site-specific learning
GAIN models how your soils actually respond to irrigation, rainfall, and heat, rather than applying a generic curve.
Predictive outlook
AI weather intelligence drawn from many sources, combined with soil behavior, gives a forward view of where each SmartLocation is heading.
Actionable recommendations
Recommendations name the location, the action, and the confidence, so the call is easy to accept or override.
Alerts that matter
Thresholds you set, delivered by exception. No dashboard-watching required.
In the field
The mobile app puts the same intelligence in the hands of the crew standing on the location.
Agentic AI
Not a dashboard. An agent.
Most software waits for you to log in and ask. Agentic AI works the other way around — it pursues a goal on your behalf. GAIN's goal is simple to state and hard to do: keep every location on your property inside its target moisture, at the lowest water and labor cost, without being asked.
It acts on its own initiative
GAIN doesn't wait for a query. It continuously evaluates conditions, decides what matters, and brings you the call — before the problem is visible on the surface.
It closes the loop
A recommendation becomes a task, the task becomes work in the field, and the next sensor readings verify the outcome. GAIN learns from every completed loop, so each decision is sharper than the last.
Within boundaries you set
Autonomy with a leash. You define the thresholds, the targets, and which actions require a human sign-off — and every recommendation shows its evidence and confidence before anyone acts on it.
That's the difference between software that reports the ground and an agent that watches it. Your team's expertise stays in charge — GAIN just makes sure it's applied everywhere, every ten minutes, even at 3 a.m. on a Sunday.
A day with GAIN
Morning briefing, not a data dump.
Your crew opens the app to a prioritized list: what changed overnight, which locations are trending dry, where last night's cycle overshot, and what the next twelve hours look like on your property specifically.
- 05:40Overnight cycle results scored against target moisture for every zone.
- 06:10Two locations flagged as trending dry ahead of afternoon wind.
- 06:15Zone 4 recommended for a three-hour delay, 96% confidence.
- 14:20Salinity rising at depth on location 12 — leaching cycle suggested this week.
Autonomy with restraint
AI supports the decision. You own the action.
GAIN never hides how it reached a conclusion. Every recommendation separates what was measured from what was inferred, and from what is predicted — with a confidence level attached, so your team can accept it, adjust it, or override it with full context.
- Source
- Where each reading came from, at what depth, at what time.
- Lineage
- How a reading became evidence, and how evidence became a prediction.
- Confidence
- How strongly the evidence supports the recommendation being made.
- Accountability
- A human decision at the point of action, recorded alongside the outcome.
AAEI
Aggregated Autonomous Environmental Intelligence.
GAIN organizes millions of observations into trustworthy environmental evidence. AAEI is the reasoning layer above it — aggregating that evidence, reasoning across it autonomously, and estimating where each location is heading next, with a stated confidence attached. Evidence without reasoning is just data. Reasoning without evidence is just a guess. GroundWorx gives you both.
- Aggregated
- Evidence drawn from sensors, weather, site history, and verified outcomes — combined, not siloed.
- Autonomous
- Reasoning that runs on its own within the boundaries your team sets, without a person in every loop.
- Environmental
- Grounded in real measured conditions in the ground and the air — never assumptions about the physical world.
- Intelligence
- Estimates of likely future conditions, each carrying a confidence level so your team knows how much to trust it.
From insight to action
Alerts become tasks. Tasks become done.
GAIN doesn't stop at telling you something needs attention — it hands the work to the people who do it, and keeps the whole loop in one place.
The alerts platform
Critical water loss, heat advisories, salinity at depth, connectivity issues — every alert names the location, the severity, and the evidence behind it. Delivered by exception, so a quiet day means a quiet phone.
Built-in task tracker
Turn any alert or recommendation into an assigned task with a location and a due time. Crews mark work complete from the field, and GAIN verifies the outcome against the next sensor readings.
Crew messaging, built around the ground
Think of it as a channel for every project and every crew. One-on-one and group chats thread directly to a task, a zone, or a GPS-pinned location on the property — so every message carries its own map context. No more lost group texts, no more guessing which location someone meant. The conversation, the decision, and the coordinates stay together and stay searchable next season.
Channels by project
Every property, zone, or crew gets its own persistent channel — organized, not scattered across texts.
Direct & group chat
One-on-one or pull in the whole crew; every message is pinned to a GPS location so there's never ambiguity about which spot on the ground you mean.
Searchable record
Messages, tasks, and outcomes live with the location they were about — so what was decided on zone 4 last August is one search away this spring.
Open API
No walled gardens. Your data goes wherever you need it.
GAIN is built as an open, bidirectional platform. Root-zone telemetry streams out to any system you run, and context streams back in — irrigation run times, agronomic events, imagery, weather — so every prediction is made with the full picture. You own your data, and you can move it.
Bidirectional by design
Read every reading, prediction, and recommendation out. Write irrigation events, maintenance activity, and third-party observations back in.
Integrates at will
REST endpoints, webhooks, scoped API keys, and scheduled exports. If a platform speaks HTTP, GroundWorx can speak to it.
Your data, portable
Raw and derived telemetry are exportable at any time, in open formats, to your own warehouse. No lock-in, no gatekeeping, no export fee.
Central irrigation control
Toro Lynx, Rain Bird Cirrus and Nimbus, Hunter, and other central systems. Push root-zone moisture into your control platform and pull run times, flow, and station history back into GAIN so predictions know what was actually applied.
Weather networks
Bring your own hyper-local weather station or third-party weather feed alongside GAIN's modeled AI weather. Both sources sit side by side in the record rather than one replacing the other.
Agronomy & turf software
Sync locations, readings, and events into the agronomy, maintenance, and work-order platforms your team already runs — including GreenSight TurfCloud.
GIS & mapping
Every SmartLocation carries coordinates, so readings publish into ArcGIS, QGIS, and property mapping layers as live geospatial data, not a spreadsheet export.
Enterprise data lakes
Stream raw and derived telemetry into Snowflake, BigQuery, S3, or your own warehouse on a schedule, and run it through whatever BI or sustainability reporting you already use.
Build your own
A documented REST API with webhooks and scoped API keys. If it can make an HTTP request, it can read GroundWorx data and write context back.
What GAIN reads
Every form factor in the ground feeds one intelligence layer.
From a buried turf sensor to a satellite-linked agricultural tower, every GX-1 device reports to GAIN roughly every ten minutes. The hardware is the ground truth; GAIN is the reasoning above it.
iQ-SW
Being Released Q4 2026iQ SmartWell
The permanent in-ground housing that every GX-1A and GX-1F sensor installs into. Each SmartWell anchors a monitored location and lets sensors rotate between wells — so every visited point becomes a Ghost Location that keeps predicting after the sensor moves on.
GX-1A
Available nowGX-1A Soil Sensor
Root-zone sensing for turf, reporting moisture, temperature, and salinity from a 6 inch burial across a 2 to 8 inch profile. Installs into a permanent iQ SmartWell, so the sensor can rotate between locations while each learned location keeps contributing.
GX-1F
Available nowGX-1F Flex Sensor — Tree Specialized
The GX-1F is the tree-specialized sensor in the GX-1 family. Its 8 inch burial reads a 1 to 44 inch profile — deep enough to reach the expansive root zones of old-growth olive trees, large date palms, and other high-value specimen trees that shallower sensors miss. It also serves drainage studies and agricultural soils. Like the GX-1A, it installs into a permanent iQ SmartWell housing, and paired with GAIN it reveals developing root-zone stress before damage reaches the canopy.
GX-1S
Available nowGX-1S Sports Sensor
A side-buried, omnidirectional sensor built with PURE Insight for athletic fields where nothing can sit under the play surface. Available until the iQ Capsule replaces it.
iQ Capsule
Under development · Target Q1 2027iQ Capsule
Playing-surface intelligence for greens and athletic surfaces, delivered as an annual intelligence service rather than a hardware purchase. Succeeds the GX-1S.
iQ1
Available nowiQ1 SmartTower (LTE)
Field-scale soil intelligence for production agriculture and high-value perennial crops. The iQ1 carries one in-ground sensor array plus integrated AI weather, reporting moisture, temperature, and salinity at depth across open acreage, olive groves, and date-palm stands. Direct satellite NTN fallback is in development.
iQ2
Available nowiQ2 SmartTower (LTE)
Doubled ground-truth coverage for production agriculture and valuable mature trees. The iQ2 carries two in-ground sensor arrays plus integrated AI weather, reading multi-depth profiles across the broad root zones of old-growth olives and large date palms. Direct satellite NTN fallback is in development.
iQ1-SAT
Coming soon · Price TBDiQ1 SmartTower — Satellite
The iQ1 with direct satellite NTN connectivity — one in-ground sensor array plus integrated AI weather, reporting from anywhere on earth with no cellular coverage required. Price to be determined.
iQ2-SAT
Coming soon · Price TBDiQ2 SmartTower — Satellite
The iQ2 with direct satellite NTN connectivity — two in-ground sensor arrays plus integrated AI weather, reading multi-depth profiles across a wider root zone from anywhere on earth. Price to be determined.
iQ-FS
Under DevelopmentiQ Fire Station
The 32-element SmartTower concept built for forest floors and wildland-urban edges. Above ground it watches air quality, smoke, flame, and atmosphere; below ground it reads the fuel-moisture signal that predicts ignition — meshed into a mission-critical network with autonomous alerts.
GAIN service runs $325 per sensor per year, billed annually — or $30 a month if you prefer monthly billing. Every sensor and tower ships with one year of GAIN service and a one-year hardware warranty, and GAIN service is required with every unit.
