Your farm, scanned and analyzed, while you sleep.
Maize is a $3,500 autonomous drone that monitors crop health and sends AI-powered recommendations to your phone. No pilot. No subscription. No consultant.
The Problem
Farming hasn't changed.
But it needs to.
rise in agricultural labor costs
Over the past decade in North America. 56% of farmers report they cannot find enough workers.
of crop yield lost
To disease and pests — often detected too late by manual scouting methods.
of farms locked out
Of drone technology due to cost ($30K+) and complexity. Only 12–15% of farms use drones today.
“It's too slow and too expensive.”
— Every farmer we spoke with during early validation in British Columbia
The Solution
Meet Maize.
A $3,500 autonomous agricultural drone that scans crops, detects problems with AI, and sends plain-language recommendations directly to your phone.
Press scan. That's it.
Maize plans its own flight path, takes off, scans your entire field, and lands — all autonomously. No drone license needed. No flight training required. No consultant standing in your field with a joystick.
Result:
Zero training. Zero flight hours. One button press to a complete field scan.
How It Works
Four steps. One button.
Scan
Open the Maize app, tap one button. The drone plans a serpentine flight path and takes off autonomously.
Fly
Maize navigates with 5-direction obstacle avoidance, capturing multispectral imagery at every waypoint.
Analyze
Images transmit to your on-site computer. AI runs NDVI analysis and crop health segmentation — no cloud.
Act
Plain-language recommendations push to your phone: "Water here." "Apply fertilizer in this zone."
Your Farm. Your Data.
Your data never leaves your farm.
Every image, every analysis, every recommendation — processed on hardware you own. No cloud. No subscriptions. No compromises.
