The Neuron: AI Explained
Teaching Computers to Smell?! The AI That's Digitizing Scent

Normally, before OSMO, very, very well-trained, specialized people would look at that data.

The Neuron: AI Explained

And, you know, that's still mostly the way that that data is interpreted is by people.

The Neuron: AI Explained

And what we've developed is a suite of AI tools to either augment in some cases or automate the analysis of the data that comes off of those devices.

The Neuron: AI Explained

And that creates a firehose of data for us.

The Neuron: AI Explained

So we know what different physical things smell like.

The Neuron: AI Explained

We know what different market products smell like.

The Neuron: AI Explained

And that's our core business is we actually design fragrances for brands.

The Neuron: AI Explained

That's the way in which we're building the business to continue funding the curiosity to market.

move to the next step of Shazam for smell, and then to move to the next step of sniffing cancer.

The Neuron: AI Explained
Teaching Computers to Smell?! The AI That's Digitizing Scent

I love that.

We sell perfumes to get to Shazam for smell, and then we build both of those businesses to ultimately detect disease, which is, that's the Holy Grail.

The Neuron: AI Explained
Teaching Computers to Smell?! The AI That's Digitizing Scent

I mean, I can see a path to detecting scent already today.

The Neuron: AI Explained
Teaching Computers to Smell?! The AI That's Digitizing Scent

We do that for some customers.

So there's an article about this online, but we've sniffed fake Air Jordans at StockX.

The Neuron: AI Explained

So fake shoes smell different than real shoes.

The Neuron: AI Explained

And that has to do with how they're constructed.

The Neuron: AI Explained
Teaching Computers to Smell?! The AI That's Digitizing Scent

So we already have a team and we already have a technology that can smell as well as our nose can.

The Neuron: AI Explained
Teaching Computers to Smell?! The AI That's Digitizing Scent

That's not our main business today.

The Neuron: AI Explained
Teaching Computers to Smell?! The AI That's Digitizing Scent

So we want to continue to develop the technology to take it from the size that it is, which is, I mean, it's not small, but it's not big.

The Neuron: AI Explained

You can hold it and move it around.
