About GrazeMate
Summary
GrazeMate builds autonomous drone systems that herd and monitor cattle across large ranches, replacing mustering work done by helicopters, motorbikes, and horses. Ranchers pick a destination and the drone plans the route, moves the herd, and repeats on a schedule, while simultaneously locating and counting animals, estimating weights, measuring pasture biomass, and flagging water, fence, and health issues. The result is a single operator managing thousands of head across millions of acres from a phone.
Go-to-market
GrazeMate sells to large cattle ranches and offers a free on-site demo on the rancher's own herd before any commitment.

Robot Cowboys that Herd Cattle with AI Drones
GrazeMate builds autonomous drones that herd cattle. On command, our drones fly to a paddock, position themselves around the mob, and move them where they need to go. What used to take a full day of helicopters, motorbikes, and horses now runs on a schedule. We work with some of the largest cattle ranches in the world. While the drones are herding, they're also estimating animal weights, measuring grass biomass, monitoring water levels, and flagging sick animals. We're building physical AI that lets a grazier manage thousands of head across millions of acres from their phone.
