See grai in Action

Watch the complete workflow — from data preparation to model output — and see how easy it is to predict particle size distribution with grai.

This short tutorial walks you through every step of using grai: calibrate your phone camera, prepare the photobox, place and photograph the soil sample, then upload the image to our platform for instant AI-powered particle size distribution predictions. From field to result — in minutes, not days.

grai: The Future of Field Research

deepsoil's flagship product, grai, brings laboratory-grade precision to your pocket. No more waiting days for lab results.

Instant Analysis

Take a picture of the soil sample and get results in seconds using our proprietary computer vision algorithms.

Smartphone Driven

Designed for the field. No specialized hardware required—just your mobile device and the grai platform.

High Precision

Our AI model has been trained on thousands of samples to ensure accurate particle size distribution (PSD) mapping.
