What are ai3™ and ai3-nano™?

ai3™ and ai3-nano™ are embedded software platforms that provides a simple API to inform you when a specific audio event or acoustic scene is present, enabling your product to react to it.
ai3™ is designed for a wide range of device types, while ai3-nano™ is specifically designed for true-wireless earbuds or products required to run in always-on mode, such as smartphones, where power efficiency is critical.
They are delivered as a comprehensive SDK, including cross-platform C libraries, reference implementations, custom sound recognition debugging tools and well-documented APIs.
End-user delight
Offer your customers the gold standard in performance and drive the adoption and usage of new sound-based features and services
- Accurate: Our models are trained using Alexandria™, the world’s largest audio dataset for machine learning, with more than 40 million labelled recordings across 1,200 sound classes
- Specialist: At the heart of ai3™ and ai3-nano™ is an optimised deep neural network called AuditoryNET™, designed to model the acoustic and temporal features of sounds (events and scenes)
- Responsive: Our software is fast and accurate, recognizing sounds immediately after they occur


Grow revenue opportunities
Create amazing new services and products that consumers value and are willing to pay for
- A wide range of sounds: Supporting applications across safety and security, health and wellness, convenience, communciation and entertainment, ai3™ and ai3-nano™ can enhance existing product feature sets and increase consumer benefits.
