Counting the seeds of success

Summary

KAUST alumna Justine Braguy co-founded Thya Technology, an AI startup that automates image and video analysis. The company's platform allows users to upload and label images to generate AI detection models without coding. Thya Technology was born out of a tool developed at KAUST to count plant seeds and won the TAQADAM showcase in 2022. Why it matters: This highlights KAUST's role in fostering AI entrepreneurship and translating research into practical applications, particularly in automating scientific processes.
