May has kicked off with a bang, marking an exciting period for all of us here at Auki. Our latest community update covered impressive tech advancements, meaningful partnerships, and opportunities for you to earn rewards. Let’s dive into the highlights!
One of the most exciting developments is our collaboration with Mentra on programmable smart glasses. These glasses can now send live visual data to the Auki network to instantly determine their spatial position.
In a live demo this week, Mentra co-founder Alex Israelov pressed a button to capture a photo with the glasses, immediately pinpointing his location through the Auki network. As Nils put it, this was an "engineering triumph," opening countless possibilities for spatial computing applications.
We've reached exciting milestones in robotics, demonstrating real-time remote tracking of robots within Auki domains. Notably, Terri, our humanoid resources intern, now streams audio via WebSocket directly through its built-in speaker, allowing its "personality" software to run remotely. This advancement follows Terri’s public debut at various events, including the ESG Xchange conference hosted in partnership with the United Nations.
Our commercial navigation solution, Gotu, achieved a significant breakthrough. Jason, the lead developer, successfully demonstrated creating a Gotu navigable domain from scratch, a task previously handled internally.
We also previewed app-free McKenna, launching in June at AWE. With this, users can effortlessly showcase AR art or NFTs in physical spaces without needing an app download. Domain owners will earn substantial token rewards by inviting visitors, making it attractive and accessible for early adopters.
Our retail analytics application, Cactus, produced striking results at a major store. Detailed spatial mapping uncovered surprising revenue insights, such as higher revenue from shelves not directly facing store entrances, and significant sales from overlooked items like branded plastic bags. These spatial insights empower retailers to optimize shelf arrangements strategically, directly enhancing profits.
New rollouts continue, with partnerships expanding in both the U.S. (including two Fortune 500 companies) and Indonesia.
We're nominated for several Auggies awards, the prestigious ceremony at AWE, the world’s largest AR and spatial computing conference. Every community vote counts—help us win by voting online and spreading the word!
To incentivize our rapid rollout and adoption of domains, we’re launching substantial token rewards. Domain owners and node runners hosting these domains can earn tokens based on visitor traffic, participation in AR activities like Floorcraft, or using third-party apps built on the Auki Network.
Additionally, expect significant token burns from our ecosystem partners Axar Robotics, Mentra, and Alpha AI, aligning success in solving billion-dollar problems with consistent token deflation.
Auki is making the physical world accessible to AI by building the real world web: a way for robots and digital devices like smart glasses and phones to browse, navigate, and search physical locations.
70% of the world economy is still tied to physical locations and labor, so making the physical world accessible to AI represents a 3X increase in the TAM of AI in general. Auki's goal is to become the decentralized nervous system of AI in the physical world, providing collaborative spatial reasoning for the next 100bn devices on Earth and beyond.
