Who we are.

At Spot AI, we’re building the future of intelligent operations, powered by the untapped potential of video. While we started with revolutionizing video surveillance, today we’re at the forefront of using cameras as sensors and AI Agents to automate human tasks across the physical world.

Our leading edge platform and award winning technology helps mid-market and enterprise businesses improve safety, security and operational efficiency by transforming video footage into actionable insights. From reducing downtime on manufacturing lines, to automating SOP checks at car washes, to scaling real-time monitoring across construction sites and mobile surveillance units, we give organizations a smarter way to run their operations and drive better business outcomes.

We are currently deployed across 10,000+ locations, serving some of the largest names in manufacturing, construction, logistics and retail. Whether through easy-to-build custom AI Agents that detect risks before they happen, or integrations with central monitoring centers to reduce false alarms, our vision is bold : to become the intelligence layer for every camera in the physical world.

Our exceptionally talented team has created a high growth trajectory that has attracted almost $100 million in investment from top venture firms, including Redpoint, Scale Venture Partners, Bessemer, StepStone and Qualcomm.

We are an extremely passionate and ambitious team building a company designed to outlast our lifetime.
