This week, we celebrated our largest-ever single-store deployment, implementing spatial computing technology in Sweden's third-largest supermarket, covering approximately 7,500 square meters (around 80,000 square feet). With our newest setup techniques, we significantly outperform industry competitors in deployment speed and efficiency. This rapid deployment starkly contrasts competitors who require complex and lengthy CAD file preparations.
Nils shared exciting news from Zappar, indicating that fully app-free AR experiences could be just weeks away. The anticipated release marks a significant milestone for Auki, simplifying user interactions by eliminating the need for app downloads to experience AR environments.
Auki introduced major advancements in their retail software Cactus, notably the integration of automatic product-facing counts via semantic shelf technology. This development drastically reduces the manual effort involved in planogram compliance checks, saving potentially tens of thousands of manual actions in large supermarkets.
Auki's self-hosted Visual Positioning System (VPS) achieved notable accuracy improvements, significantly enhancing spatial positioning capabilities without relying on centralized data handling. Nils emphasized, “It's decentralized; your own home can host its own VPS on simple consumer hardware,” further distinguishing Auki’s approach from centralized alternatives.
Auki also highlighted substantial performance improvements in Cactus, with query times for substantial sales datasets (around 90,000 transactions) reduced dramatically from 23 seconds to just 6 seconds—a 300% performance gain. RAM usage was also optimized by 40%, making the system faster and more efficient for real-world retail environments.
Lastly, Auki shared an exciting development from partner Mentra, whose innovative smart glasses might soon combine a display and camera within a lightweight form factor, possibly debuting as early as this summer. This innovation could position Mentra's product uniquely in the market, significantly enhancing practical usability and user adoption.
The update concluded with optimism about the accelerating convergence of robotics, spatial computing, and decentralized technologies, affirming 2025 as a transformative year in tech.
Auki is making the physical world accessible to AI by building the real world web: away for robots and digital devices like smart glasses and phones to browse, navigate, and search physical locations.
70% of the world economy is still tied to physical locations and labor, so making the physical world accessible to AI represents a 3X increase in the TAM of AI in general. Auki's goal is to become the decentralized nervous system of AI in the physical world, providing collaborative spatial reasoning for the next 100bn devices on Earth and beyond.
