Tomorrow.io also uses AI. Smart data analysis is supposed to deliver faster and more precise weather forecasts.
00:11
A big model that is doing a forecast using a lot of resources takes a few hours because you're discretizing the entire globe.
00:18
These AI models can do that in a matter of minutes.
00:22
The AI models improve when they receive more data, provided by both company-owned and other satellites.
00:29
As we collect more and more of this data, especially the precipitation data, which is really the hardest one to get globally,
00:36
we feel that this will be a game-changer in training all of the AI models.
00:41
We want to be able to be much better in predicting precipitation,
00:45
and that's where I believe that with all of our models and the data, we're going to make a big positive impact.
00:52
Tomorrow.io supplies airlines, electricity providers and TV broadcasters with weather forecasts,
00:59
which allows them to quickly adapt to severe weather conditions. But others could profit too.
01:08
In Kenya right now, we've helped five million farmers understand when to plant, when to harvest to improve their yields.
01:15
In the face of drought and more volatile weather, we can deliver forecasts to farmers in the way they need to receive it.
01:21
That might be through SMS text or through smartphones or other methods as well.
01:25
But they understand based on where they are and based on where their farm is exactly what to do and when to maximize their yield.
01:33
Precise weather forecasts help people and companies to prepare for extreme weather and to minimize the damage.
