AI that turns any camera to an autonomous worker with real-time vision

OpenVector transforms any existing camera into an automated 24/7 workforce without requiring new hardware. We've built the world's fastest vision-language model inference engine that allows users to simply describe a task in plain English and automatically build a custom AI vision model to monitor their feed. When it detects an important physical event—like a stalled production cycle, a safety violation, or a waiting customer—it operates a computer just like a human to take immediate action. It integrates with legacy systems, makes calls, sends emails, updates a POS/CRM, or triggers webhooks in real time. OpenVector enables any camera to do real work.
