A Breakthrough in Intelligent Video Monitoring
Spot AI has made a groundbreaking advancement in video analytics with the launch of Iris, the world’s first universal AI agent builder for security cameras. This innovative platform enables businesses across industries to create custom video intelligence solutions using their existing camera infrastructure – no coding or machine learning expertise required.
“Just as ChatGPT democratized access to powerful language AI, Iris brings that same level of accessibility to video intelligence,” said Rish Gupta, CEO and Co-Founder of Spot AI. “Now any organization can build AI agents that monitor their operations and take action when needed.”
Why This Matters Now
The launch comes at a critical time when:
- Over 100 million surveillance cameras are deployed across U.S. businesses
- Labor shortages are forcing automation of monitoring tasks
- Safety regulations require more comprehensive oversight
- Operational efficiency demands have never been higher
- Rising security threats necessitate smarter surveillance solutions
Traditional video analytics solutions from companies like Verkada, Rhombus, and Eagle Eye Networks typically offer pre-built detection capabilities. Iris fundamentally changes this paradigm by allowing users to train custom AI agents for their specific needs.
How Iris Works: Simplicity Meets Power
The Iris platform transforms video monitoring through three key capabilities:
1. Natural Language Interface
Users describe what they want to monitor in plain English:
- “Alert me when pallets are stacked unsafely”
- “Notify managers when PPE isn’t being worn”
- “Detect when retail shelves need restocking”
- “Flag unauthorized access to restricted zones”
2. Reinforcement Learning Training
The system learns from examples:
- Users provide 20-50 positive/negative images
- AI improves through continuous feedback
- No data science team required
- Adaptive learning improves accuracy over time
3. Actionable Intelligence
Trained agents can:
- Send real-time alerts to staff via SMS, email, or app notifications
- Trigger physical actions (lock doors, stop machinery, activate alarms)
- Integrate with existing systems via API
- Generate compliance reports automatically
Industry-Specific Applications
Iris delivers value across multiple sectors:
Manufacturing
- Detect equipment malfunctions in real-time
- Identify production line bottlenecks
- Monitor safety compliance (PPE usage, restricted zones)
- Track component quality on assembly lines
Retail
- Track inventory levels automatically
- Prevent theft through suspicious behavior detection
- Optimize customer flow and queue management
- Monitor checkout operations for efficiency
Healthcare
- Distinguish staff from visitors
- Monitor restricted medication storage
- Ensure hygiene protocol compliance
- Detect patient distress signals
Logistics & Warehousing
- Verify proper loading procedures
- Detect package mishandling
- Monitor warehouse safety (improper stacking, forklift operations)
- Track high-value asset movement
