History
Spot AI was founded in 2018 by three friends from Stanford: Tanuj Thapliyal, Rish Gupta, and Sud Bhatija. They noticed that businesses had installed millions of security cameras, but almost none of that video was being put to use. The company builds AI that gives cameras the ability to act themselves, detecting what matters, reasoning about context, and triggering responses without human intervention.
