Archetype AI

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.

About Archetype AI Archetype AI is developing the world's first AI platform to bring AI into the real world. Formed by an exceptionally high-caliber team from Google, Archetype AI is building a foundation model for the physical world, a real-time multimodal LLM for real life, transforming real-world data into valuable insights and knowledge that people will be able to interact with naturally. It will help people in their real lives, not just online, because it understands the real-time physical environment and everything that happens in it.

Supported by deep tech venture funds in Silicon Valley, Archetype AI is currently pre-Series A, progressing rapidly to develop technology for their next stage. This presents a unique and once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to be part of an exciting AI team at the beginning of their journey, located in the heart of Silicon Valley.

Our team is headquartered in Palo Alto, California, with team members throughout the US and Europe.

Teeming tracks opportunities at over 24,000 AI startups, then works with you to find (and land) the one you'll love.
