MindSpeakAI Consumer Labs.
Where we push the boundaries of AI hardware and software. These are experimental concepts, functional prototypes, and product visions straight from our engineering team.
AIR
A context-aware, thermally intelligent personal cooling device.
"Most fans move air.
AIR moves with you."
The Innovation Void.
Fans are the most common cooling device in tropical countries like India - far more ubiquitous than air conditioners. Millions rely on them daily. Yet, if you look at a tabletop fan today, it functions almost exactly the same as one from thirty years ago. The introduction of the infrared remote control was arguably the last significant innovation in the space.
At MindSpeakAI, we believe environments should adapt to people, not the other way around. Currently, a fan pointed at a fixed position cools empty air the moment you shift in your seat. Its speed is set manually and remains static, completely oblivious to your actual body temperature or the rising ambient heat of the afternoon.
There are no consumer fans that see you, follow you, or respond to your body heat. We decided to build the first one.
We set out to build **AIR** - not another "smart" IoT device that just connects to Bluetooth so you can tap a button on your phone. We wanted to build a genuinely intelligent edge device. One that understands who is in the room, where they are, how hot they are, and what they are doing.
Designing True Context.
For an environmental device to feel magical, it needs to process the world the way humans do: observing, analyzing, and then acting. We engineered AIR around a continuous three-layer loop that runs at the edge.
Sense
We equipped AIR with eyes and skin. A privacy-first camera detects human presence, an AMG8833 IR thermal grid maps out body heat signatures, and environmental sensors read the ambient temp and humidity in real-time.
Think
An on-device AI Core (running our custom CV pipeline and Thermal Fusion model) processes these inputs. It computes a Thermal Comfort Score ranging from 0 to 100, deduces your posture, and makes instantaneous decisions.
Act
Dual servos silently rotate the fan head to keep you in the optimal airflow cone. A BLDC motor adjusts RPM fluidly based on your comfort score, simulating a natural outdoor breeze rather than a static mechanical blast.
Hardware Meets Edge AI.
Building AIR required blending off-the-shelf components with cutting-edge, localized machine learning. We didn't want a heavy, loud machine, nor did we want something dependent on AWS to know if you were hot.
Our pipeline uses models like YOLOv5-nano for person detection and MediaPipe for skeletal posture tracking. When AIR sees you slouching over your keyboard, it adjusts its tilt. By running these models through ONNX runtime directly on the local SBC hardware, we achieved ~15 fps inference - more than fast enough to follow you as you pace around your office, without ever sending a single pixel to the cloud.

Privacy. Uncompromised.
We are deeply opposed to the surveillance-first model of modern "smart" homes. Putting a camera in a bedroom or office fan is an enormous responsibility. That is why AIR is built on a strict, non-negotiable ethical framework:
100% On-Device Local AI
No video frame ever leaves the device. The core function works perfectly with zero internet connection.
Physical Lens Shutter
Software toggles fail. We included a mechanical privacy shutter that physically blinds the camera when you want peace.
Not Medical Data
Thermal data is translated instantly into a general "Comfort Score." We never store raw thermal signatures or treat this as health health analytics.
Opt-In Memory
While AIR can learn your preferences and recognize your face, this is strictly opt-in. By default, you are completely anonymous to the device.
The Product Vision.
From our initial lab prototype, we envision a fully realized product lineup designed for different needs and environments.
AIR Zephyr
The perfect desk companion.
Built specifically for tabletops. It combines a low-profile, sturdy unibody base with a lean ESP32 setup for basic thermal tracking. Just reliable, personalized airflow without cluttering your workspace.

AIR Mistral
The floor-standing apex.
A premium, full-room pedestal fan. Equipped with a Google Coral TPU for blistering 8ms inference, air quality sensors, Matter protocol integration, and an internal battery base for perfect, room-scale climate control.
CHILL
An intelligent evaporative cooler that sees you, tracks you, and adapts to your body.
"Every cooler moves air.
CHILL understands comfort."
The Stagnant Appliance.
Air coolers are India's default cooling solution - cheaper than ACs, far more accessible, and usable even during power cuts. Yet, they haven't gotten smarter in decades. Current coolers are fixed, meaning they oscillate on a timer instead of tracking you. They have manual speed and run continuously regardless of whether cooling is actually needed.
Most importantly, evaporative coolers lose effectiveness above ~65% humidity. Current coolers keep running at full power anyway, wasting water and electricity without actually cooling you down.
Adding intelligence doesn't just improve comfort - it saves water, electricity, and extends appliance life.
The CHILL Brain.
We added an AI brain to the classic air cooler architecture. A regular air cooler has three variables to control - fan speed, pump power (water delivery to pads), and louver direction. AI can optimize all three simultaneously in real-time.
Sense
CHILL tracks the person and posture, reads body heat via IR, checks ambient humidity and temp, and monitors tank level and water quality.
Think
On-device AI computes exactly where you are, how warm you are, if evaporative cooling is effective right now, and what mode is optimal.
Act
A pan-tilt servo aims the cool air precisely at you, adjusting fan speed and PWM water pump intensity seamlessly without manual clicks.
Humidity Awareness.
Evaporative cooling is highly dependent on humidity. In the dry heat of North India, it works phenomenally well. But during the monsoon, when humidity exceeds 80%, a regular cooler just adds mugginess to the air.
CHILL introduces the Evaporative Effectiveness Score. If humidity climbs above 65%, CHILL intelligently lowers the pump duty cycle or fully transitions to Fan-Only mode. This simple intelligence prevents the room from becoming uncomfortably sticky and prevents massive water wastage.
The Product Lineup.
Different spaces need different levels of cooling and intelligence. We designed three distinct tiers based on the science of cooling phenomena.

LUMIS
An intelligent daily companion that reflects who you are - and who you're becoming.
"Every mirror shows you what you look like.
LUMIS shows you what's changing."
The Missing Intelligence.
The Indian beauty and skincare market is growing exponentially, driven by heat, humidity, and pollution. Yet the tools to understand your skin remain either clinical and prohibitively expensive, or basic apps that lack multi-spectrum imaging and longitudinal memory.
Current devices require deliberate use and are rarely trained on South Asian skin tones (Fitzpatrick Scale Type IV–VI). A mirror is already part of your daily ritual. Building intelligence into it doesn't require behavior change - it makes something you already do dramatically more useful.
We integrated multi-spectrum lighting and on-device edge AI into a daily hub to measure what the human eye can't see.
How LUMIS Works.
LUMIS operates across two distinct layers: an ambient information hub and a passive skin intelligence engine.
Ambient Layer
Always-on, low-brightness display behind the two-way glass. Shows time, weather, UV index, and calendar. Fades when you're not present.
Intelligence Layer
Initiates a 10-second multi-spectrum scan when aligned. Tracks tan level, hydration, pores, and compares against a historical record.
South Asian Skin First.
LUMIS features a custom deep learning pipeline, fine-tuned specifically for Fitzpatrick Type IV–VI skin. Most commercial platforms fail on deeper skin tones, missing hyperpigmentation and underlying heat damage.
Additionally, LUMIS tracks a Tan Index. By utilizing UV-A (365nm) and cross-polarized light, it distinguishes between recent surface darkening (reversible) and deeper UV damage accumulation (long term), helping you reverse damage fast.
The Product Tiers.
LUMIS is designed for three distinct contexts: home, office, and professional studios.
LUMIS Halo
Your skin's personal memory.
Built for the bathroom or bedroom. IP44-rated, anti-fog, 6 user profiles, and persistent local data storage. The daily hub for your routine.
