Spot AI announced Iris, what is said to be world's first universal video AI agent builder for enterprise cameras and conversational interface for video data in manufacturing, logistics, retail, construction, healthcare and more.
"Iris transforms how we interact with video data through natural conversation," says Rish Gupta, CEO and co-founder of Spot AI. "What ChatGPT did for text, Iris does for video—making powerful AI capabilities accessible without requiring technical expertise. Iris will help anyone build an AI agent that watches videos and acts on their behalf–from retailers and hospitals to the industrial heart of America."
Key takeaways:
- Spot AI's out-of-the-box agents address standard workplace challenges that reduce injuries, minimize security risks, and prevent operational bottlenecks.
- Iris creates custom Video AI Agents through simple conversation; trains your own AI model with positive and negative reinforcement; and customizes physical world actions.
- Manufacturing: Detects when specific products back up on production lines or when leaks form, triggering responses based on severity.
- Warehousing: Identifies when pallets and boxes are stacked unsafely, preventing potential accidents before they occur.
- Retail: Monitors shelf stock levels for specific merchandise, sending timely reports to store management.
- Security: Detects specific theft tools like boltcutters in parking lots, adapting to evolving security threats.
- Safety: Recognizes proper safety gear for specialized roles, ensuring compliance with industry-specific requirements.
"What used to take months of development now happens in minutes," Gupta says. "Before Iris, creating specialized video detection required dedicated AI/ML teams with advanced degrees, thousands of annotated images, and 8 weeks of complex development. Iris puts that same power in the hands of any business leader through simple conversation with 8 minutes and 20 training images."
