AI is the engine. Here is how it works.
No mystery and no name-dropping. This is what our models see, how they decide, and the infrastructure that makes plant-level analysis fast and affordable.
Computer vision that reads a canopy plant by plant.
Verdyn's core is a set of vision models trained on field imagery to recognise the visual signatures of crop stress.
What the AI sees
Drone and in-field photographs of crops and canopy — RGB imagery captured from above and at ground level.
What it detects
Disease signatures, nutrient deficiency, water stress, and pest damage at the plant and row level.
How it decides
Image-classification and segmentation models identify affected plants; a change-detection layer tracks how stress spreads across repeat flights over time.
Why it improves
Every labelled and confirmed field strengthens the models — accuracy compounds as our dataset grows.
From a flight to a decision.
Capture
Drone or phone imagery from the field.
Pre-process
Align, tile, and clean imagery.
Vision models
Classify & segment affected plants.
Per-plant map
Localised stress + guidance.

Built on AWS, accelerated with NVIDIA.
We use industry-standard cloud and GPU infrastructure so analysis is fast, secure, and affordable per acre.
How we use AWS
- Store imagery securely in Amazon S3.
- Run our APIs and processing on AWS Lambda and ECS.
- Host detection and reporting data in Amazon RDS.
- Serve the app and site via CloudFront.
- Train and serve models with Amazon SageMaker.
- Monitor everything with CloudWatch.
- Planned: Amazon Bedrock for future guidance-generation workflows.
How we use NVIDIA
- Train vision models on large sets of field imagery using NVIDIA GPUs.
- Run fast batch inference with TensorRT and Triton Inference Server, so a full flight is analysed quickly.
- A path to NVIDIA Jetson edge devices for on-site or in-drone processing where connectivity is poor.

The gap finally closed.
Affordable drones and good phone cameras, cheap GPU inference, and rising pressure on yields and input costs have opened a gap between "fields need plant-level monitoring" and "an affordable tool exists." Verdyn fills it.
Who we serve.
Commercial farms, cooperatives, and agronomy advisors. Revenue is a per-acre or per-flight subscription plus advisory tiers. Launch markets [confirm]. We don't publish an invented total market size.
Where we honestly are.
- MVP detection in development.
- Piloting with selected farms [region].
- Building a labelled field-imagery dataset.
- Waitlist open.
