9 North Group Launches Free Directory of 900+ AI Tools for Agriculture and Food

ST. LOUIS, MO, UNITED STATES, October 22, 2026 /CourierPR/ -- 9 North Group, an independent firm of senior agrifood operators, has launched a free, searchable directory of 900+ generative AI tools designed specifically for the agriculture and food industries. The Agrifood GenAI Directory, available at 9northgroup.com/aifieldguide, aims to simplify the process of finding and utilizing AI assets for agrifood companies, developers, and innovators.

According to Dan Kurdys, who leads AI Growth Systems at 9 North Group, the directory addresses a critical gap in the industry.

The directory is organized to cater to various stakeholders within the agrifood value chain. Farms, advisers, and food and ingredient companies can use it to check if a product already exists for their specific needs, potentially saving them from costly and time-consuming custom builds. Developers and in-house teams can find datasets, models, code, and connectors built for agrifood, streamlining their development process. Entrepreneurs, startups, researchers, and investors can identify gaps in the market where new solutions are needed. Lastly, publishers can list their assets for free, ensuring their work is discovered by those who need it.

Users can search the directory by asset name, publisher, technology, problem, or job. They can then filter results by job family, intended user, asset layer, commodity, access, or deployment mode. Each entry provides a detailed description of the asset, the work it supports, and how to access it, along with source links and check dates. The directory is free to browse and free to be listed in, with no account required. Users and publishers can suggest additions or evidence-backed corrections through the directory's website.

9 North Group began this research to better understand the generative AI and agent assets available to agrifood companies. The GenAI Directory serves as the first resource in the firm’s Agrifood AI Field Guide, with additional resources planned.

The directory is a valuable resource for anyone involved in the agrifood industry, offering a comprehensive overview of the generative AI landscape. By consolidating information from various sources, 9 North Group has made it easier for stakeholders to navigate the complex world of AI in agriculture and food production.
