How it works
How we turn 10 years of breeding into about 2.
Normal breeding waits for the seasons. We control the season, and let AI decide what is worth growing.
- 01
Pick
Our AI reads plant DNA and picks the most promising parents and crosses. This takes seconds.
See Aadi, our model that reads plant DNA - 02
Grow
Our rooms control light, heat and water, so plants go from seed to seed in 40 to 60 days.
See GeneRush, our breeding rooms - 03
Measure
Sensors and cameras track every plant as it grows, so the best ones stand out early.
See FarmOS, our plant data software
Every result also trains our AI, so its next picks get better.
Works in any climate · 25+ sensors per plant
Results
Proven with research institutes and farmers.
Two projects, in plain numbers.
ICAR-IIMR · India's national millet research institute
4 generations of millet in one year. A field gives one.
IIMR used our breeding rooms to find which millet plants cope best with drought. Every plant's response was measured as it grew.
High-protein rice · Kangarthi, Telangana
10.5% protein in the grain, already in farmers' fields.
We bred a rice with 10.5% protein, tested by an accredited lab (NABL). It cooks and tastes like the rice people already buy, and this season farmers paid for the seed.
