Plumerai

Plumerai is an AI software company that develops camera-based intelligence solutions for smart home and security applications, combining Tiny AI models running on edge devices with Vision Language Models in the cloud to deliver accurate, privacy-compliant people detection, familiar face identification, and scene understanding. The company's technology works on chips costing less than $1 with as little as 1MB of memory, enabling AI deployment on microcontrollers and camera SOCs so efficient they can be powered by coin batteries or small solar cells. Plumerai's complete software solution includes Familiar Face Identification, Stranger Identification, People/Vehicle/Animal/Package Detection, Advanced Motion Detection, AI Video Search for finding moments in camera history through natural-language queries, and AI Captions that describe video clips in plain English. The platform eliminates false alarms from traditional smart home cameras through precise notifications like 'Stranger on the driveway' or 'Rachel came home,' and allows tagging known safe individuals to avoid unnecessary alerts. Plumerai's vertically integrated approach combines custom model architectures, an inference engine optimized for Arm Cortex-M, Arm Cortex-A, and RISC-V processors, proprietary datasets of over 100M images and videos, and Vision Language Models that run in the cloud and are selectively activated by on-device AI only for moments requiring deeper analysis, reducing cloud costs 100x compared to LLM cloud APIs. The software is deployed on millions of cameras in the field, compliant with GDPR, CCPA, BIPA, and the EU AI Act, and trusted by leading brands. Founded in 2017 and headquartered in London, United Kingdom, Plumerai has raised $17.0M in Series A funding from investors including 7percent Ventures, Partech Partners, OTB Ventures, Acclimate Ventures, IECT, Entrepreneur First, QC Ventures, LocalGlobe, Crane Venture Partners, DCVC, Future Shape, and H.H. Investment.
