The company's primary product is the Looki L1, described as the first AI lifelogging camera with an integrated AI assistant. This wearable device is designed for all-day capture, perceiving visual moments, sounds, and movements to create a contextual memory from the user's point of view. It utilizes multimodal AI to understand and interpret what it sees and hears, organizing daily moments into meaningful timelines. The hardware is intended to enhance how users connect, create, and notice everyday life with ease.
Looki operates in the B2C electronics industry and its business model appears to be centered on the sale of its smart hardware devices. The company also has affiliated applications, CAPI and DEVO, though specific details on their function are limited. The terms of service for CAPI, a mobile application, indicate it is a product of Looki Tech Limited and may operate on a subscription model for certain features. The company has received investment from the angel group Alpha Startups.
