About us
ABR began at the Centre for Theoretical Neuroscience at the University of Waterloo with a clear belief: AI only reaches its full potential when it runs where the data lives — at the edge. We build technology that makes responsive, responsible AI possible even on the most resource-constrained devices.
Vision
We envision a more accessible and sustainable world where capable, responsive, safe, and energy-efficient AI is available everywhere.
Mission
Our mission is to make real-time on-device AI possible anytime and anywhere it’s needed.
Values
We prioritize customer success, innovation, team collaboration, commitment to excellence and kindness above all else.
