Precision AI | The Brain Behind the Barn

AI research lab for agriculture

The BrainBehind the Barn

Precision AI is building the digital brain that will grow tomorrow's food.

A 1930s farmer leans against his tractor and speaks into a Bakelite pocket telephone whose small screen traces a green voice waveform. Across the wheat field a brass computing machine glows inside a red barn, with cables running out along the fence line.

Our first product is Maya, an AI operator a farmer can call, text, or invite to a meeting.

A 1930s farm woman in a headscarf and overalls speaks to a Bakelite pocket telephone resting in her palm, its small screen tracing a green voice waveform. An old crank telephone hangs unused on the wall beside her.

The product

One operator for the whole farm.

Maya is an AI agent built for agriculture, and her interface is a conversation. Call her from the cab. Text her from the bin yard. Invite her to Monday's meeting with your agronomist.

She books the service call, orders the inputs, finds the part, and files the records, working inside the software your farm already runs.

How Maya works

Seven systems, one voice

The average farm runs on seven systems. Maya connects every line.

Financials live in one program, yield maps in another, agronomy in a third. Maya reads, writes, and updates all of them, so a single question can draw on the whole operation.

Sample calls using illustrative farm data.

Maya: Pulled the yield maps, input invoices and grain tickets for all eleven canola fields. Nine cleared cost of production. North Quarter and Section 14 fell short on fertilizer cost per bushel.

Ask once

You say it. Maya gets it done.

Service calls, input orders, parts, drone surveys, satellite maps, trucking, and the weather that rearranges all of it.

A farmer sits on the tailgate of a 1930s pickup and speaks into a Bakelite pocket telephone. Behind him a delivery van pulls in, a grain truck loads at the elevator, and a mechanic works on a combine in the machine shed.

The model behind her

Beyond is trained to say “I don't know.”

Farming punishes a wrong answer. One bad rate on one field can destroy hundreds of thousands of dollars of crop.

Beyond, the reasoning model behind Maya, answers when it is certain and abstains when the evidence falls short. It is built for accuracy, speed, and token efficiency, which matters when a single drone survey holds more data than most models can afford to read.

Open research

We publish what we learn.

Datasets, models, and tools go out regularly on GitHub and Hugging Face. MCP and embeddings layers for agents are next.

Impact

Less pesticide.
Less fertilizer.
A smaller footprint.

Food systems produce a third of humanity's greenhouse gas emissions.1 Our models treat the plant that needs it and leave the rest of the field clean.

Our research target

The sustainability story
A beekeeper in a veiled hat lifts a frame of honeycomb from a hive. Brass listening horns with glowing tubes and dial gauges sit on the hives, beside a clear creek and a healthy crop.

The thesis

Every machine that grows food will run on a model. We are building it.

Tractors, sprayers, drones, and the farm office are converging on one intelligence. Our research team in Calgary builds it end to end: the reasoning model, the edge model, the compute that carries both into the field, and the agent farmers talk to.

A brass and glass computing machine filled with glowing vacuum tubes stands in a barn, with cables running out through the doors to the fields.
