GMIC AI / Foundry

We build voice devices for real work — not AI gadgets.

Voice Hardware
Foundry

We support a small number of teams building voice-first operational devices for real work environments.

Logistics. Warehousing. Industrial field work. Infrastructure operations.

Based in

San Francisco Bay Area

Annual capacity

Only 10 projects per year

Why Voice Devices Matter

In many industries, work does not happen in front of a screen.

  • Drivers report status by phone.
  • Technicians describe problems on site.
  • Warehouse supervisors coordinate work over radio.
  • Field engineers record inspection notes verbally.

Important information is often spoken, but never captured properly.

Voice-first devices can turn those conversations into structured records that systems can actually use.

Not as a gadget. But as a practical tool for real operations.

What We Provide

Product architecture
Acoustic hardware design
Prototype development
Embedded integration
ODM / OEM manufacturing support
Production preparation

We help software teams turn workflow ideas into real hardware systems.

Program Structure

Projects usually move through four stages:

01

Product definition

02

Prototype development

03

Engineering validation

04

Manufacturing preparation

Not every project goes through all stages.

Some teams only need prototypes. Others are preparing for production.

Only 10 Projects Per Year

Hardware execution requires focus.

To keep engineering quality high, we limit the program to 10 projects per year.

This allows us to work closely with each team and avoid taking on projects we cannot support properly.

What We Are Not Building

Consumer gadgets
AI toys
Concept hardware
Fundraising demo devices
Projects without clear workflow use
