Creative Engineering for
Food Systems
Resonetta is building AI that invents novel solutions to agricultural challenges. We start with farming because it's tangible, testable, and desperately underserved by deep technology—but our core capability is creative engineering itself.
The Problem
Optimization Isn't Enough
Most AI in agriculture optimizes within known solution spaces. It tells you the best existing crop rotation, the most efficient irrigation schedule, or the optimal harvest timing. This is useful, but it's not invention.
"Meanwhile, the real challenges in food production—climate volatility, labor shortages, water scarcity, regional flooding, market disruptions—often require solutions that don't exist yet. They require engineering creativity."
Our Solution
An Invention Engine for Food Systems
Given a set of constraints, goals, and conditions, our system operates across multiple domains to recommend or invent solutions.
Crop Strategy
Novel combinations, unconventional varieties, new market niches
Production Systems
Vertical farms, field layouts, hybrid indoor-outdoor designs
Equipment
Custom configurations, novel integrations, robotic workflows
Resilience
Climate adaptation, flood-resistant infrastructure, redundant systems
The Technology
Our invention engine combines genetic selection algorithms with large language models to explore solution spaces that pure optimization can't reach. It doesn't just search—it generates genuinely novel concepts, then validates them through simulation.
This positions us alongside the emerging field of AI-driven scientific discovery (AlphaFold, AlphaGeometry, FunSearch), but applied to engineering problems rather than pure science.
Why Farming?
- ✓Real constraints, real feedbackWe can build and test what we invent
- ✓Underserved by deep techPharma and chips get the attention; agriculture gets spreadsheets
- ✓Endless novel problemsEvery region, climate, and market creates unique challenges
- ✓High stakesFood security is a civilization-level concern
Current Work
- Crop economics and growth simulation
- 3D spatial modeling of production environments
- Positive psychology frameworks for agricultural workers
- Novel algorithm generation
Our First Invention: The Amphibious Ark
A greenhouse design that floats on guide posts during floods, born from the unique challenges of Washington's Snoqualmie Valley.
The Longer Vision
Resonetta is a creative engineering company. Farming is our first domain because we know it and can validate results. But the invention engine itself—AI that generates novel engineering solutions—is the core capability.
We believe the next frontier in AI isn't just reasoning or optimization. It's genuine creativity applied to physical-world problems.
