Intelligence for everything that grows.
We research the hardest problems in food production and solve them with AI — in software, in machines, and in the hands of farmers. Smarter, safer, faster, cheaper.
Most farms are built for a world that’s not theirs.
Most agricultural technology is designed for large, connected, mechanized farms, then cut down for everyone else. We build the other way: for a 10-acre plot, a patchy signal, and a basic phone, from day one.
CropCare AI — the first child of the lab.
Point a phone at a sick leaf. CropCare AI names the pest or disease, recommends treatments available at local agrovets, and warns nearby farmers when an outbreak is spreading. It’s the lab’s first program in the field, and the first of many.
- 01
Scan
Farmer photographs a crop leaf on a basic smartphone.
- 02
Diagnose
The pest or disease, by name, in seconds.
- 03
Treat
Local product names and dosage, available at the nearest agrovet.
- 04
Protect
Nearby farmers get an alert when an outbreak is spreading.
Most agricultural AI is built for input-rich conditions — stable connectivity, clean sensor data, large mechanized farms — then scaled down for everyone else. We build the other way: for a smallholder plot, patchy connectivity, mixed cropping, and a basic smartphone, from the start.
Agriculture’s interlocking problems are one research agenda, not a portfolio of separate apps.
From one leaf to the whole farm.
