New methods for intelligence
We’re researching ways to bring more capable AI to devices with limited memory and power.
Nearhuman is an AI research and product company in Bristol. We build efficient AI that runs on everyday devices, and new ways for people to work with it.
The company
We’re creating new methods, tools and interfaces to change how people use technology.
Starting with AI that runs on physical devices themselves, with no reliance on the cloud.
We’re developing new methods to make machines intelligent.
We bring research and engineering together to carry new ideas through to working technology.
What we build

Our first edge-AI camera module, designed from the ground up to be retrofitted onto e-scooters and e-bikes. It runs its AI on the vehicle itself, and it is live on Bristol’s streets today in a pilot with Dott.
