The best weather is the weather you planned for

Weatherise turns forecasts from seven sources into clear go / no-go decisions for tourism, construction, and agriculture in Da Nang.

Finalist, Vietnam AI Open Hackathon 2026

Selected among Vietnam's most competitive AI teams, after four days of building on NVIDIA H200 infrastructure with mentors from NVIDIA, Viettel, and Sovico.

Weather costs Da Nang more than a bad day.

Four problems stand between a forecast and a safe decision.

Problem 01 · Tourism

When the forecast misses, the trip is lost.

In one week, Hue lost 5,000 room bookings and VND 20 billion. Da Nang welcomed 10.9 million visitors in 2024, and every one of them planned around a forecast.[1][2]

Introducing Weatherise

Forecasts in. Decisions out.

Weatherise is an enterprise multi-agent AI system that helps teams analyze, predict, and act on weather risk in their own domain. Specialized agents understand the context, gather the right data, weigh the forecast against real safety rules, and hand back a plan you can act on.

See it work.

Four capabilities, one answer. Turn the sound on for the full tour.

Ask in Plain Language

Type the question the way you'd ask a colleague. The parser agent pulls out the domain, place, dates, and every sub-question, so each one gets its own answer.

How It Works

From question to decision, in one pipeline.

  1. Parse

    Turns the question into structured intent: domain, place, dates, and every sub-question.

    { domain: "construction", site: "Hoa Lien Overpass", when: "Fri, Jun 12", asks: 3 }

  2. Orchestrate

    Routes the request to the tourism, construction, or agriculture agent.

    route → ConstructionContextAgent

  3. Gather Context

    Fetches places, sites, and fields through MCP tools; RAG fills what's missing.

    site 16.001, 108.152 · tower crane · deck slab pour

  4. Fetch Weather

    Queries seven weather providers in parallel and normalizes every reading.

    7 providers · hourly, Thu 06:00 → Fri 20:00

  5. Reach Consensus

    Scores each source, drops outliers, and fuses one forecast you can trust.

    rain 75% · gust 62 km/h · agreement 94%

  6. Apply Rules

    Checks every safety threshold for the domain and records pass or fail.

    Friday: 5 of 6 rules fail · Thursday: 6 of 6 pass

  7. Answer

    Writes the plan: a verdict, the safe windows, and the reasons behind them.
