Meet Aina

Meet Aina

We’ve been building a new interface in stealth: an AI wearable that understands what you say and the context of what you’re doing, then learns the patterns in how you handle digital tasks throughout the day. A device that is constantly thinking about what you might need next and surfacing the right actions just before you need them. An AI Wearable controller for your meetings, phone apps, Mac, agents and Assistants.

Imagine a device that knows it’s time to book an Uber to your next meeting. You approve, and it’s done. At home, it becomes your smart home remote. Play music, and it becomes your music controller. Join a meeting, and it becomes your meeting controller. One interface that adapts to whatever you’re doing.

We've Built the Hard Stuff Before.

For the last 14 months, we’ve operated like an HCI lab called Project Mirage: working out of a factory, exploring different form factors, building prototypes, shipping them, and iterating alongside hundreds of early adopters.

Hardware and design run deep in this team. Our engineers and designers have spent over a decade building consumer hardware at companies like Ultrahuman and Nokia.

At CES 2026, we showcased three interface concepts designed to rethink how we handle everyday tasks. We chose one to build and ship: Dune, a context-aware keypad for Mac. Hundreds shipped to early adopters, taking Dune to No. 1 on Product Hunt and and was featured in TechCrunch, Forbes, and WIRED.

Aina brings together what those experiments taught us, our intuition, and a decade of building consumer hardware.

Today, we’re split between San Francisco and Bangalore, backed by $5.5M in seed, with a private pilot of Aina already underway.

Fourteen months. Hundreds of prototypes. One interface, designed for how we live tomorrow.

Nobody at CES thought twice about the business card we handed them. Why would they. It’s a business card. You put it in a wallet, you probably lose it in the same jacket for the next two years, you forget the name on it by the time you get back to your hotel room.

There’s more on the way.

There’s more on the way.

A peek into how our engineers solve for a fraction of a millimeter, how our design team finds an idea in something as ordinary as a receipt, and how our hardware team thinks in materials long before anything becomes a product.
