The Problem: The Visibility Trap
Modern agriculture is stuck in a Visibility Trap. Today’s AI and computer vision solutions can only detect a disease after the symptoms appear. By then, the damage is done.
This reactive approach forces farmers into a cycle of excessive pesticide use—a costly strategy that impacts profitability, promotes resistance, and harms the environment. We believe there is a better way.
Our Approach: Beyond the Symptom
We don't look for the symptom; we see the pathogen. Neobio's breakthrough bio-imaging platform uses proprietary fluorescent probes to visualize the causal pathogens themselves.
A simple application and a UV scan on-site is all it takes to reveal the invisible frontline of an infection, enabling treatment before symptoms ever develop.
Our Vision: The Future is Agentic AI
Our technology does more than just diagnose. Every scan generates a unique, proprietary data point, building a foundational dataset that simply doesn't exist anywhere else.
This data is the fuel for 'Ceres AI'—our vision for a true Agentic AI for agriculture. Ceres will not be just a predictive model; it will be a planning agent, a digital agronomist that leverages a suite of sub-agents (for VLM-based scouting, risk prediction, and resource scheduling) to create a truly hyper-intelligent farming operation.
