Cropin Unveils OrbitAI, ‘World’s First Agentic AI Platform for Food and Agriculture’

Agritech company Cropin has launched OrbitAI, which it describes as the world’s first agentic AI platform for the food and agriculture sector. Built on Google Cloud’s AI infrastructure, the platform is designed to enable autonomous decision-making by combining artificial intelligence with proprietary agricultural intelligence accumulated over 15 years.

OrbitAI introduces a new category of AI trained specifically on crops, climate, soil, weather patterns, agronomic practices and global food supply chains, rather than relying on general internet data. The platform draws on Cropin’s proprietary database spanning operations across 103 countries, more than 400 crops, 10,000 crop varieties and over one billion acres of agricultural land.

The platform deploys a network of specialized AI agents that provide region-specific recommendations to users across the food ecosystem, including farmers, sourcing managers, agribusinesses, financial institutions and sustainability professionals. Users can interact with the platform in natural language to receive actionable insights based on real-time agricultural, climatic and geospatial data.

For instance, a sourcing manager can assess soybean supply risks in a particular region and receive procurement recommendations within seconds, while a farmer can obtain crop health assessments, disease-risk forecasts and crop protection advice based on prevailing weather conditions.

“AI has transformed how the world accesses information. The next transformation is how the world makes decisions about food,” said Krishna Kumar, Founder and CEO of Cropin.

“OrbitAI is not another chatbot. It pairs Google Cloud’s AI infrastructure with Cropin’s proprietary predictive models, trained on fifteen years of ground-truth data, to predict outcomes before they happen. We keep the complexity behind the scenes so stakeholders simply benefit from faster, more informed decision-making,” he said.

The platform has been built using Google Cloud’s AI ecosystem, including Gemini models, the Gemini Enterprise Agent Platform, Agent Development Kit, BigQuery, Google Cloud and WeatherNext. Together, these technologies enable OrbitAI to process and reason across large-scale agricultural, climatic and geospatial datasets in real time.

Sashikumar Sreedharan, Managing Director, Google Cloud India, said the collaboration demonstrates how AI is evolving from experimentation to solving complex business challenges.

“By building on Google Cloud’s AI infrastructure, OrbitAI allows organizations to deploy agentic workflows that scale capacity exponentially, enabling faster and more efficient decision-making for complex real-world challenges,” he said.

Cropin has also designed OrbitAI as an open intelligence platform. Available as a Model Context Protocol (MCP) server, it can integrate with leading AI models, including GPT, Claude, Llama, Mistral and proprietary enterprise AI systems, allowing developers and enterprises to incorporate Cropin’s agricultural intelligence into their existing AI workflows.

The company said OrbitAI aims to democratise access to expert agricultural intelligence by enabling everyone from smallholder farmers and commodity traders to sustainability officers, banks and global food companies to make informed decisions through simple natural language interactions.

With agriculture supporting the livelihoods of more than a billion people globally, Cropin believes OrbitAI will help bridge the gap between fragmented data and timely decision-making, bringing autonomous intelligence to one of the world’s most critical industries.
