Modern farms are complex and sometimes distributed, it’s impossible to have eyes on your crop at all times.
Growers need reliable, accurate and consistent data to help manage variability and improve forecasting.
At Bitwise Agronomy, our GreenView agritech helps vineyards and berry farms “know what you’re going to grow” by using cutting edge AI technology.
We’ve taught our GreenView system to see like humans - but more accurately, more consistently and at a super human speed.
Growers use simple off-the-shelf GoPro cameras attached to existing farm machinery, and capture video footage when out performing jobs like mulching, mowing or spraying.
GreenView takes this footage and crunches the numbers into interactive dashboards and maps, specific to each customer.
The result is actionable insights - so growers know they’re doing the right jobs, at the right time, in the right areas - and ultimately improving the yield and profitability of their crops.

Zero Shot: The Anti-Hype AI & Business Podcast
Cutting through the static of the AI shift.
Zero Shot is the definitive guide for leaders, founders, and executives who refuse to settle for AI hype. Hosted by James Gauci and Llew Jury, the podcast bridges the critical gap between high-level business strategy and deep technical execution.
We live in a market saturated with "AI-first" promises that often lead to nothing more than increased overhead and technical debt. Zero Shot was built to provide the antidote: Strategic Realism. We dont just talk about what AI can do; we dissect how it can be deployed to build measurable enterprise value and long-term defensibility.
Our Core Philosophy:
Sovereignty over Subscription: We believe the winners of the AI era wont be those who rent the most tools, but those who own their infrastructure. We advocate for data sovereignty, local execution, and building proprietary assets.
ROI over Hype: If technology doesnt move the needle on the bottom line, it’s a toy. We focus on the "Execution Layer"—moving past chatbots toward autonomous agents that perform real work.
Technical Truth: Drawing from our roles as a CEO and a veteran strategist, we provide a "zero-shot" perspective on the tools, architectures, and data strategies that actually scale.
Zero Shot is for the decision-makers who recognize that AI is the most significant technological shift of our generation—and realize that navigating it requires more than just a prompt. It requires a roadmap for Infrastructure Sovereignty.
Stop managing tools. Start leading your architecture.
