# Precision AI

> Precision AI is a Canadian-American agricultural technology company building autonomous, AI-guided aerial sprayers that identify and treat individual weeds at broad-acre scale. Its flagship Stratus AirSprayer pairs onboard computer vision with a powered flexwing airframe to spray herbicide plant-by-plant, aiming to cut chemical use by up to 95% while keeping yields intact. Founded by three-time entrepreneur Daniel McCann, the company is backed by more than $16M in funding from investors including At One Ventures, BDC Capital, Farm Credit Canada and Cooperative Ventures (CHS and GROWMARK).

- **Founded:** 2018
- **Headquarters:** Regina, Saskatchewan, Canada
- **Founders:** Daniel McCann (Founder & CEO)
- **Team size:** ~45 employees
- **Products:** Stratus AirSprayer, AI Computer Vision Platform, Digital Agronomy Data Insights
- **Notable:** Developed what it describes as the world's first AI agriculture drone for plant-level decisions at broad-acre scale., Closed a $20M seed round in 2021 co-led by At One Ventures and BDC Capital., Launched the Stratus AirSprayer, a flexwing powered-paraglider sprayer covering ~92 acres/hour.

## Products & services

- **Stratus AirSprayer** — An autonomous aerial sprayer built on a 'flexwing' powered-paraglider airframe. It carries a 60- or 100-gallon tank, flies up to five hours on gasoline, and covers roughly 92 acres per hour. Onboard AI computer vision classifies plants in real time so herbicide targets weeds rather than crops or bare ground - at under $2.85 per acre.
- **AI Computer Vision Platform** — The perception and decision system behind the hardware: deep-learning models (built with PyTorch/TensorFlow-class tooling) that identify and classify every plant in a field at broad-acre scale, enabling green-on-green weed detection and plant-level spray decisions.
- **Digital Agronomy Data Insights** — Field data captured by the autonomous aerial systems is turned into plant-by-plant insights for farmers and agronomists, supporting input decisions, sustainability reporting and supply-chain traceability.
