WOURI.

The voice-first interface that makes agricultural and climate expertise accessible in the right language.

Producers ask a question by voice. WOURI understands the context, consults validated sources and returns a simple, traceable and adapted answer.

The problem

Information exists, but it does not always arrive in the right format.

Information can be accurate without being directly useful. When it is late, too general, text-only or unavailable in the producer's language, it does not always lead to action.

The challenge combines language, context, speed, trust and traceability. An alert or recommendation loses much of its value without a date, an area or a route to a human expert.

WOURI targets that junction: connecting a field question to controlled sources, then returning an understandable answer without confusing the interface with scientific authority.

The solution

Four design principles.

WOURI does not invent weather data or agronomic science. It orchestrates, explains and distributes useful information, then routes the request to a human when the situation requires it.

01

Voice-first, multichannel dialogue

Producers ask a question by voice note or text. WhatsApp is the first target channel, alongside web, mobile and call-centre access.

02

Agricultural context understood

WOURI identifies the language, crop, area, stage and intent so that each request is placed in its useful context.

03

Validated, traceable sources

Answers rely on controlled knowledge and dated data. The source, area and confidence level remain visible.

04

Safeguards and human handoff

A critical, uncertain or insufficiently documented request is flagged and can be routed to an identified agent or expert.

Inside the conversation

Talk to it the way you'd talk to a neighbor.

WOURI receives a voice or text question, identifies its context, consults authorised sources and returns a simple answer in text or audio. Critical or uncertain cases are routed to a human.

Rain is forecast in my area. Can I treat my field today?
Voice note · Producer
Rain is likely in the next few hours. Avoid applying before the shower. Dated weather source and validated agronomic sheet. Confidence: high.
WOURI
I would rather confirm with an agent before deciding.
Producer
I can forward the request with its source, date and context already attached.
WOURI

Illustrative internal demonstration. Scientific, linguistic and field validation is the next step.

Local languages

Making expertise accessible in the right language.

WOURI is designed to understand and return information in French and local languages. Dioula is being tested internally; other languages will progress with native speakers and gradual domain validation.
