About

BrightAI is a developer of a physical AI platform for essential infrastructure that transforms physical operations into continuously observable, intelligent systems, helping organizations predict failures, guide field teams, improve productivity, and operate more safely and sustainably. The company's Stateful Platform serves as an operating system for physical infrastructure, combining specialized AI hardware, sensors, and drones for continuous observability, predictive intelligence through locally-running AI models that identify potential defects, and guided field execution that directs crews to highest-priority issues. The platform includes an observability toolkit featuring Stateful Sticker peel-and-stick battery-powered sensors with over five-year lifespan running custom AI models on-device for visual, thermal, and acoustic monitoring, autonomous inspection systems integrating with pipeline robots and drones delivering three to five times productivity gains, Stateful Wearable hands-free voice-interactive AI for field technicians, and foundation models trained on trillions of telemetry observations. BrightAI monitors over 250,000 critical assets, guides over 70,000 frontline workers, and connects over 17 million systems across more than 50,000 deployed locations, serving industries including water pipelines, power grid, oil and gas, pest control, and construction. Founded in 2019 and headquartered in Palo Alto, California, BrightAI has raised $66.2 million in Series A funding from investors including Upfront Ventures, Khosla Ventures, Inspired Capital, BoxGroup, Marlinspike, VSC Ventures, and FalconPoint Capital Partners.
