COMPANY · WHAT WE DO

One system, from sensor to action.

We build every layer of a smart product ourselves: the sensors, the AI that runs on them, and the app people use. Our devices read what is happening around them, decide on the device itself, and act straight away, with no button to press and no wait for the cloud.

01 →
Sense Sensors read sound, motion, temperature and air quality, every second.
02 →
Decide On-device AI turns raw signals into a decision in milliseconds.
03
Control Alerts, history and settings in one app on your phone.
WHAT WE DO

Eight disciplines.
One engineering culture.

01

Artificial Intelligence

Edge AI, on-device inference, real-time computer vision for perception.

+
IN PRACTICE

IntelliCradle runs cry detection and sleep-position models entirely on the unit — no cloud, no video leaving the room.

AI · EDGE AI · COMPUTER VISION
02

Embedded Engineering

Custom PCBs, firmware, IoT, wireless — the full hardware stack.

+
IN PRACTICE

Our smart-home build used custom touch switches on an in-house PCB — 2nd place at the Home Automation Competition.

HOW WE BUILD

From idea to product.

01 / DISCOVER

We find the real problem.

We talk to the people who will use it and test the hard technical questions first, before a single schematic is drawn.

RESEARCH VALIDATE ARCHITECTURE
02 / BUILD

We engineer everything.

Circuit boards, firmware, AI models and the app are designed and tested together, by one team, under one roof.

HARDWARE FIRMWARE + AI SOFTWARE
03 / SHIP

We deliver real products.

From working prototype to a certified, manufactured product that families can buy and rely on.

ORIGIN

It started with a YouTube channel.

Before AskSummu, we were [ask] Aditya — building home automation, smart cars and touch switches in the open, one DIY video at a time. The skills, the audience and the curiosity from those builds became this company.
