Redefining crop improvement with AI Traditional plant breeding is a slow and imprecise process, often taking years to introduce a single beneficial trait into a crop, so Phytoform is taking a radically different approach. By combining advanced AI models – a proprietary machine learning technology called CRE. AI. TIVE – with genome editing tools like CRISPR, Phytoform can identify and introduce new genetic traits into crops with unprecedented speed and accuracy. This allows for minimal genetic disruption, targeting only the desired change while leaving the rest of the plant’ s genome untouched.
“ Gene editing tools like CRISPR are amazing, but you need some way to direct how and where you use them,” explains William, CEO and Co-Founder of Phytoform.
“ That’ s what our CRE. AI. TIVE platform does – it’ s an AI-led way to redesign crop genetics.” 146 June 2025
