Archetype AI helps businesses perceive and reason about physical environments using real-time sensor data to detect issues and automate responses. The company develops Newton, a proprietary Large Behavior Model (LBM) that fuses multimodal temporal sensor inputs (radar, camera, accelerometer, temperature, microphones) with natural language to produce universal sensor embeddings and behavior-aware outputs. Offered as a B2B SaaS platform, Archetype AI provides an API, Agent Toolkit, private fine-tuning, edge deployment options, and GPU-accelerated inference for embedded AI use cases. The technology targets industries such as construction, spatial computing, and diagnostics and is deployed with industry partners for pilots and scaled workflows.
