About See Produce

The kid they brought for luck grew up to build the machine.

We’re a small team in Dothan, Alabama, the Peanut Capital of the World, building AI that sorts and grades produce: from the farmer’s truckload to the shopper’s basket.

Our story

From a farm to a grading station.

The farm
Pandian grew up working on his family’s small farm, where nothing went to waste: even banana peels went back into the soil as compost. Every season his family brought him to the grading station as their lucky charm, because the same load could get a different grade on a different day.

The machine
Pandian and Priyanka teamed up to put their years in AI to work on grading, the checkpoint that decides what a crop is worth. We built the first WAGS from plywood. The State of Alabama tested it, and we are now manufacturing production units for stations in Alabama and Georgia.

“Same load, same grade. That’s what my family wanted at the grading station, and it’s what we’re building.”

What we believe

Post-harvest doesn’t need more workers. It needs AI that sees every piece.

Same load, same grade

A grade shouldn’t depend on who sorted it or what hour it was. Consistent grades mean fair prices for farmers.

Waste nothing

Every piece seen is a piece that can be saved, sold at the right price or sent where it will be eaten.

Build with the graders

Inspectors know the crop. We build with them, and they certify every grade WAGS sorts.
