- Together with UGent professor Ruben Verborgh, we've built an AI device that gives you back control over what you actually want to see online. SEMEK, the AI-buddy, sits between your modem and your router, analyzing your traffic locally, nothing leaves your home. You decide what matters to you: - the sources you trust - the content you value - the information you actually want in your feed. SEMEK helps bring what you want to see to the surface. Last night, we brought the first prototype on stage at Wintercircus Ghent during
- Everything we call "smart" is really just an expensive remote control. Your thermostat, your doorbell, the app that dims the lights, they all wait for you to press something. Genuinely smart would mean the device understands, decides, and acts, with a human always in the loop. Our CEO Pieter-Paulus Vertongen believes we can finally build that, not with humanoid robots, but by making the ordinary connected things around us reason for themselves. The fuel? Not more internet data (that's running dry), but the real world read through
- Big congrats to Kenan! 🎉 Today he defended his bachelor thesis on a non-invasive AI-HUD for mixed reality meetings ("Een niet-invasieve AI-HUD voor mixed reality vergaderingen") Smart tech that supports people without getting in their way: that's the kind of thinking we love at Aaltra. Kenan Altintas, you nailed it. Proud of you! 👏
