Accelerating Forestry Insight

Forest Growers Research (FGR) is an industry body that invests in research to improve the efficiency, sustainability, and value of New Zealand’s forestry sector.

Caitlyn AI

Problem

FGR’s site hosted a wealth of forestry research, but growers and industry advisors faced overwhelming search results. Even with tags and filters, finding targeted seasonal insights remained frustratingly slow—leading to low engagement and missed opportunities for practical application.

Solution

Caitlyn was embedded as Ask FGR AI, seamlessly integrated into the FGR platform in their own brand voice. Users now type everyday queries—like “best practices for seedling health”—and receive concise, context-aware answers instantly.

What makes it powerful:

  • Tailored Understanding
    Trained on FGR’s domain-specific language, Caitlyn understands terms like “rotation length” and “silvicultural cycles” in forestry context.

  • Instant Accuracy
    Answers are grounded in FGR’s trusted research and include deep citations for confidence and traceability.

  • Native Integration
    Delivered as a white-label experience that feels wholly part of the FGR site.

  • Secure & Scalable
    Deployed in FGR’s private AWS infrastructure with rigorous data sovereignty and built-in usage analytics.

Technology

Caitlyn operates within FGR’s secure AWS environment, combining ontology-driven intelligence with scalable infrastructure. This ensures fast, reliable access to forestry knowledge—even under heavy demand—and supports ongoing refinement through analytics and usage trends.
