Our AI is helping millions of people feel safe and making their lives more convenient. Major brands deploy our advanced computer vision AI on millions of smart home cameras in the field and we’re rapidly expanding into commercial security, retail, assisted living, and more. The recent improvements in multimodal LLMs are unlocking valuable new applications in these markets with Plumerai as the driving force. We combine our on-device Tiny AI software with our cloud-based Vision Language Models, providing People Detection, Video Search, AI Captions, Familiar Face Identification, Multi-camera ReID, Real-time Alerts and more. The best solution runs as much as possible on-device to enable low-power, accurate, and private AI products. This is where Plumerai leads, even outperforming Google Nest on accuracy. We are now starting to invest heavily in market adoption. We build the most accurate and efficient AI solutions by vertically integrating all layers of the stack. From data collection and curation, custom training software, model architectures, multimodal LLMs, pre- and postprocessing, and all the way down to the fastest inference engines. Not only does our team have a deep theoretical understanding of all these components, we also know how to ship fast and often. Our team is based in London and Amsterdam, we have recently raised funding to provide multiple years of runway, while our recurring revenue is growing rapidly. We are backed by world-class investors such as Tony Fadell (creator of iPod, iPhone; founder of Nest), Hermann Hauser (founder of Arm), Zoubin Ghahramani (Google DeepMind), and others.
