Rainmaker and Atmo Use AI to Boost Rain Through Cloud Seeding How Rainmaker and Atmo Use AI-Powered Cloud Seeding to Boost Rainfall Cloud seeding has long been used to enhance precipitation, but a new partnership is aiming to make it smarter and more effective. Rainmaker , a cloud seeding startup, is teaming up with Atmo , an AI-powered weather forecasting company, to identify optimal clouds for seeding and squeeze more rain out of the sky. By combining deep learning models with drone-based seeding operations, this partnership promises to improve weather modification efficiency, especially in drought-prone areas.
