Gaia AI combines LiDAR, computer vision, satellite imagery, above-canopy drones and forester input into a single data platform to improve forestry measurement and management. The company also sells a sensor backpack that automates manual measurements and plugs into forester workflows, keeping humans in the loop. Gaia says its technology makes data collection and action 100x faster and is intended for timber operations and forest managers. Gaia was spun out of MIT and positions its multi-sensor approach as an alternative to single-sensor startups. The company argues that combining below-canopy measurements with satellite data enables both accuracy and scalability. Longer term, Gaia aims to be a major data player in forestry and improve go-to-market execution over the next year.
