Visual intelligence developer Prompt AI has launched a visual intelligence platform for smart homes. Seemour can understand, describe, and act on what it sees in real time when connected to a home camera. It can summarise moments or hours of home video footage and learn the names of family, friends, and pets. According to Prompt AI, it will even announce which delivery service is at the door.

Seemour’s visual intelligence is claimed to reduce unnecessary camera notifications by as much as 70 percent. It employs large vision-language models and machine learning to summarise multiple on-camera events into single updates.

A future update will allow users to ask Seemour questions.

“Imagine a future where you can ask your home what happened today or inform your roommate that you’ve stepped out to go to the grocery store when they open the fridge,” said Tete Xiao, chief executive officer and co-founder of Prompt AI. “That future is closer than you think, and we’re excited to bring it to you.”

Prompt AI is a visual intelligence research and technology company based in San Francisco.  It aims to create human-centred products and was founded by Tete Xiao and Seth Park who hold PhDs in Computer Science from UC Berkeley, and Trevor Darrell, a founder of Berkeley Artificial Intelligence Research lab. The company has raised $6M in seed led by AIX Ventures and Abstract Ventures.
