thingc are developing an on-demand farm workforce, using Artificial Intelligence-powered Robotics.

thingc solve farmers’ #1 challenge - Access to skilled workers, when they need them.
Our workforce is made up of fully autonomous, Artificial Intelligence-powered robots that carry out a range of farming functions throughout the season. Keeping flexibility in mind, we have re-imagined the tractor as a small-scale, lightweight, 100% electric robot.

Our first product is an automated weeding robot for the organic horticulture industry, where the cost of labour is rapidly becoming a significant burden.
Our go-to-market strategy is Weeding-as-a-Service: We provide farmers with a weed-free area, at a flat per-hectare rate.

The flexible design of our robots allows the tool to be changed to suit the application.
Future tools will allow additional functions to be carried out for farmers.
