In private build Certifier pilots open in early 2027.
Reliable AI for USDA organic compliance, grounded in the NOP regulations and your own documents.
Every answer comes with a reference, drawn from our curated, continually updated library of NOP regulations and guidance, as well as your own proprietary knowledge base. AI workflows take on the repetitive work, reviewing and drafting documents using your own templates.
| General chatbot | Organic Agent | |
|---|---|---|
| Sources | Answers from memory, often with no source | Cites the section of 7 CFR Part 205 or NOP guidance behind each answer |
| Knowledge | The whole internet, date unknown | A maintained organic corpus: the regulations, NOP Handbook, NOSB materials, National List |
| Your documents | Pasted into one chat at a time | Your SOPs, templates, and interpretations, loaded once into your own private portal |
| Privacy | Consumer terms; inputs may be used for training | Private portal, never shared, not used to train AI models |
| Output | Generic text | Drafts in your own format and templates |
A knowledge agent for every question, and workflows for the paperwork.
One place to ask questions.
Ask questions in plain language and get answers drawn from the organic regulations and your own internal documents, with the source cited so you can check it in seconds.
No more digging through PDFs, help centers, knowledge bases, and wikis to find the one paragraph that settles the question.
- 7 CFR Part 205, the NOP Handbook and policy memos, NOSB recommendations, and the National List, kept current
- Your SOPs, reviewer checklists, templates, written interpretations, and internal help content
- A citation on every answer, and a clear "not found" when the sources don't support one
- Private to your organization; your documents are never shared with other customers
Document review
Upload an OSP section, an annual update, an inspection report, or other documents that need evaluation. Get findings against the regulations, each with the rule cited.
First drafts on your templates
Noncompliance letters, requests for additional information, certification approval letters, and routine correspondence, in your own format.
Workflows are scoped and customized to each organization.
For farms and handlers: the same rulebook your certifier reads, in plain language.
Most questions you have for your certifier have a clear answer somewhere in the rule. Organic Agent finds it, cites it, and explains it, so you go into the conversation knowing what the rule says.
Understand a notice
What a noncompliance means, what a complete response needs, and when it is due.
Check an input or practice
Before you commit to it, with the rule section and National List entry cited.
Check a label
Which labeling category a product falls in and what the rule requires for it.
Help updating your OSP
Guidance from the knowledge agent as you update your plan for a new field, product, or process, and as you get your records ready for inspection.
Every answer cites the rule and recommends confirming with your certifier, who makes the final call. Get updates to hear when operator access opens.

Operator access
Farms and handlers get cited, plain-language answers and help with notices, inputs, labels, and their OSP.
Built for documents that should never end up in a public model.
- Your data stays yours
- Documents and conversations stay in your organization's portal and are never shared with other customers. Under our providers' commercial terms, they are not used to train AI models.
- Confidentiality in writing
- We have confidentiality and data-processing agreements signed with our service providers, and we name every subprocessor we use before anything is loaded.
- Controlled access
- Single sign-on with your organization's accounts. Per-user access and logs.
- Insured, with audited providers
- Our platform provider holds a SOC 2 Type II attestation. Organic Agent carries technology E&O and cyber insurance and works under a written security policy and incident response plan.
Organic Agent does not make certification decisions or send anything on its own. Every output is a draft for your team to approve and send.
Built by people who have done the work.
Certifier, consultant, farm, and ingredient-supplier experience on one small team. Before this we built AskOrganicBot, a free public version that answered 3,000+ questions and showed us the industry wants this, done privately and properly.

FAQs
Does this replace reviewers?
No. It takes the lookup and the first draft off their desk. The finding, the edits, and the signature stay with a person.
How is this different from ChatGPT, Copilot, or Gemini?
A general chatbot answers from whatever it absorbed from the internet, often without a source, and what you paste in may be used under consumer terms. Organic Agent answers from a maintained organic corpus plus your own documents, cites the source behind each answer, runs your repeatable tasks as workflows on your templates, and keeps your data in a private portal.
What can the knowledge agent draw on?
The USDA organic regulations, the NOP Handbook and policy memos, NOSB recommendations, and the National List, plus what you load for your organization: SOPs, reviewer checklists, templates, written interpretations, and internal help content. Your documents stay in your portal.
What happens when it doesn't know?
It is built to say so. Answers come from the organic corpus and your documents, with citations shown, not from a general model's memory.
Does using it affect our NOP accreditation?
It should not. Organic Agent is a reference and drafting tool. It provides knowledge and first drafts, and every certification decision stays with your team.
What does it cost?
We are still solidifying pricing. Please book a call or email us for more details.
What does a pilot look like?
A knowledge agent and workflows customized for your team, with time saved measured for each one, so the decision to expand is made on evidence.
When can farms and handlers use it?
Operator access is planned for mid-2027. Get updates to hear when it opens.
