We read the land, and the lines that cross it.

Drone and satellite intelligence for Rwanda's farms, towers and power lines. Every answer says how sure it is.

What we read

What one flight can tell you.

We study where answers go wrong in the field, then build the checks that keep them right.

Crop map

Which crop is in each plot

Two separate looks at every plot. When they agree we name the crop; when they don't, we say not sure and show both guesses.

Live

Plant count

How many plants stand

Plants counted plot by plot, given as a range we can stand behind, not a single proud number.

Live

Gaps

Where the crop is missing

Open soil inside a plot is measured, and flagged only when it is a real share of the plot.

Towers

Tower and insulator checks

Each tower seen from the same angles every flight, so a missing part or new damage stands out.

Building

Vegetation

Trees growing into the line

Tree height against the wire, span by span, so crews cut where it matters first.

Building

Right of way

What is inside the corridor

New houses, fields and roads inside the line's corridor, found before they become a danger.

Where we fly

Hillsides, marshlands, and the lines between them.

Seven kinds of place, one way of reading them. Hover a world to see it the way the drone does.

Accuracy first

“Not sure” is an answer.

A confident wrong label is worse than no label. Farmers, agronomists and insurers act on what we show, so a crop is named only when two independent looks at the plot agree.

Every field check is kept and counted. How often we are right is measured against them, and each answer carries its level: low until enough fields have been checked, higher only when the record earns it.

How it works

Fly. Read. Ask.

  1. 01

    Fly

    Upload a drone flight, or we fly it with you. Satellite, rain and soil data for the same place are already waiting.

  2. 02

    Read

    Plots outlined, crops named, plants counted, gaps found. Each answer is drawn on the photo, with how sure we are.

  3. 03

    Ask

    Ask Sage in plain words. It knows when the drone photo answers your question and when the satellite does, and says which it used.

Example answer
SSage

Start with the two plots where the crop is thin.

  • Drone photo: open soil covers a real share of both plots, mostly along the lower edge.
  • Satellite rain: the last ten days were drier than usual for this point in the season.
  • Not sure yet: one plot could be maize or beans. A quick look on the ground settles it.
