Humane™

Humane is a technology that is creating a first-of-its-kind software platform and consumer device built from the ground up for artificial intelligence (AI).

Humane is on a mission to deliver the next era of personal mobile computing, which will be one driven by AI.

Humane was founded in 2020 by Imran Chaudhri and Bethany Bongiorno. The company is headquartered in San Francisco, California, with an office in New York.

 

Humane's products are built on an integrated device and cloud platform that will allow them, and others, to create AI-driven experiences that feel natural, fun, and needed.” In 2020, Humane filed an application with the USPTO for a “body-worn device” that uses a “laser projection system” instead of a display.

 

Humane is partnering with SK Networks and Microsoft to bring its platform and services to market, with Microsoft supplying the cloud processing power and SK Networks handling distribution.

 

Humane is also collaborating with OpenAI to integrate its tech into the startup’s device. LG, for its part, is working with Humane on R&D projects for the next phase of its product lifecycle as well as adapting Humane’s tech for smart home devices. And Volvo’s teaming up with Humane on a potential automotive industry offering.

 

Humane is backed by Tiger Global, SoftBank Group, Microsoft, BOND, Kindred Ventures, Forerunner Ventures, Qualcomm Ventures, SK Networks, LG Technology Ventures, Volvo Cars Tech Fund, TIME Ventures, Marc Benioff, Lachy Groom & Sam Altman (Founder of OpenAI), and others.
