History

How did we start?

The original idea was born from a problem Jack had with feeding feral cats (so no collars or any way to identify them) while also protecting their food from racoons. He realized that with a little bit of computer vision, AI training, and some small hardware he could design/implement a food dish that would feed the animals he wanted and keep out the ones he didn't. He started sketching!

Tada! The first iteration of our AI was born!

We're now working as a team both on hardware and software scalability of this type of computer vision. This will allow us to implement our AI solution in a wide range of products and services.

Why "Sploot" AI?

Here's a little definition of a "Sploot".

We wanted something that really spoke to our goofball nature and our love of animals and Sploot AI seemed to be the perfect fit for not just what we do but who we are.

A few of our friends sent in some cute pics to show on the site (and help train our AI)!
