Built for the Real World

We don't just pick chips. We solve the hard problems of shipping hardware.

1. Capabilities: What We Solve

Low-Power Voice

Always-listening wake words that don't drain the battery. We optimize for <10mW standby power, enabling weeks of battery life for portable devices.

Privacy-First Interaction

Local processing for sensitive data. Wake words and basic commands run entirely on-device, ensuring no audio leaves the device until the user intends it.

Factory-Friendly Designs

Designed for mass production from day one. We include test points, automated testing rigs, and secure provisioning workflows to ensure high yield.

Long-Lived Devices

Built to last. Robust OTA update mechanisms, flash wear-leveling strategies, and component selection for long-term availability.

2. Credibility: How We Do It

Silicon & Compute

Espressif ESP32

ESP32-S3 for AI workloads, C6 for low-power connectivity.

Nordic Semi

nRF52/53 for ultra-low power Bluetooth LE applications.

ARM Cortex

Cortex-M for real-time control, Cortex-A for Linux gateways.

Models & AI

Whisper & Kaldi

Robust speech recognition optimized for embedded targets.

YOLO & MobileNet

Efficient object detection running at the edge.

LLM APIs

Secure integration with GPT-4o, Claude, and Gemini.

Security
