the fastest, most-natural security
Hummingbirds AI is at the forefront of vision AI technology, drawing inspiration from nature’s most agile flyers. Just as hummingbirds are renowned for their incredible speed and precision, our company aims to create the world’s fastest and most efficient vision AI systems.
Our approach is rooted in bio-inspired innovation, leveraging insights from biology and neuroscience to develop cutting-edge AI technologies. By mimicking the remarkable capabilities of natural vision systems, we’re pushing the boundaries of what’s possible in artificial intelligence.
Specializing in novel bio-inspired vision AI technologies, Hummingbirds AI develops groundbreaking applications that enhance security, cybersecurity, and user experience across various sectors – from retail spaces to educational environments.
Our flagship product, Guacamole, exemplifies our commitment to innovation. This award-winning software revolutionizes access verification with its touchless, real-time capabilities. By eliminating the need for traditional logins and logouts, Guacamole streamlines security processes while maintaining robust protection and user privacy.
At Hummingbirds AI, our mission is clear: to simplify security measures and empower users through advanced AI and computer vision technologies. We strive to create solutions that offer enhanced control, increased productivity, and unparalleled convenience, all while ensuring the highest standards of security and privacy.
Our mission is to make security simple and human-centric with AI.
THE BEGINNING: Home Security with AI
Like many success stories Hummingbirds AI was born when a couple of entrepreneurs faced a problem that wouldn’t be solved through available tools: In our case, Nima, a pioneer of biologically-inspired artificial intelligence, and Sara, a mastermind behind some of the most engaging media campaigns, were fed up with being bombarded with irrelevant notifications they were receiving from home security cameras.
So they decided to create an intelligent video-analytics application for home security; and
Hummingbirds AI was born in 2020.
At the core, Hummingbirds AI is making intelligent technologies for security while protecting users’ privacy.
At the beginning of Pandemic we created a full stack team consisting of AI experts, university professors and bright programmers, and developed the prototype of our first product, DoBushi. The app continuously monitors the environment. Only when an unauthorized person is detected on the premises, DoBushi sends a report to the homeowner. No more notifications from a moving branch or your dog!
With its unique privacy-first architecture, it was the first truly intelligent home security solution, reducing the number of false alarms up to 90 percent, while securing and protecting privacy of the home.
DoBushi’s cutting-edge technology and privacy-first design was recognized as the forefront of intelligent home security solutions, and TechCrunch editors selected Hummingbirds AI as their top picks for Disrupt 2020.
In late 2020, we decided to pivot to applications of vision AI for security and efficiency of operations;
And Guacamole was born!
With DNA in R&D and innovative product design, always being a few steps ahead of others, we have patented and built MVPs of several products with applications in physical and cyber security.
Our flagship product, GuacamoleID, is the world’s first touchless continuous authentication tool, transforming enterprise security and making security and compliance convenient.
Hummingbirds AI And GuacamoleID have won several industry awards, including the Judges’ award of Vision Tank 2022 from Edge AI + Vision Alliance.
Our vision is to create a more secure and efficient world through vision AI. Why?
Security and compliance are getting more complicated; By requiring longer passwords and two-factor authentication, it is becoming a pain point for employees, forcing them to put their guards down, which makes the companies more vulnerable to cyber threats. At Hummingbirds AI, by humanizing security, we turn a failed security system into a successful one.
