Welcome to Agerpoint
Agerpoint is reshaping how the world captures, analyzes, and manages field data, powering a more resilient food supply and safeguarding natural ecosystems. By merging advanced AI, agentic models, and data fusion, we’re building the next-generation spatial platform that delivers unprecedented insights for agriculture and environmental conservation.
Our Agerpoint Capture app transforms any smartphone into a data acquisition tool, making it simple to record ground-level truth of crops and trees. These real-time visual models sync seamlessly with Agerpoint Cloud, our AI-native data platform that integrates satellite imagery, drone surveys, field sensors, and human observations to produce highly precise, quantifiable digital twins and analytics.
From estimating yield and identifying disease to assessing biodiversity, Agerpoint’s data cloud delivers actionable intelligence that drives better decision-making for agriculture, forestry, insurance, government, and conservation organizations.
Named a 2022 Technology Pioneer by the World Economic Forum, Agerpoint is charting a bold path to transform how we measure and manage the planet’s vegetation.
