Opal AI is a small company in the Los Angeles area.[^1,2] The register of the US Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) programme lists eight employees and a first award in 2022.[^2]

FireVision builds one picture of communities, infrastructure, vegetation and terrain. Its inputs are satellite, aerial, drone and street-level imagery, lidar (laser scanning that measures distance to surfaces), GIS layers, weather and field observations.[^1] From that picture it ranks risk and recommends actions such as inspections, vegetation management and resource placement.[^1]

Opal AI offers it to three kinds of customer:[^1]

- electric utilities, for circuit-level risk ranking and public safety power shutoff planning
- fire agencies, for a shared situational picture, time-to-impact and evacuation context
- insurers, for parcel-level scoring and portfolio exposure[^1]

In 2025 NASA made an SBIR Phase II award of $899,845, titled "FireVision: An AI-Powered Decision-Support Platform Leveraging NASA Earth Science Data for Wildfire Risk, Mitigation, and Response".[^2] It funds extending FireVision's fuel maps, fire potential indices and fire spread simulations to the wildland-urban interface, where homes meet wildland. Testing is in California and Texas.[^2]

FireVision is sold by demo request.[^1] Pricing is not published.
