Start with site outcomes
The product direction lets operators describe outcomes, constraints, and duration while agents propose inspectable plans; device configuration and commissioning remain explicit.
OPEN SOURCE · AI-NATIVE · DEVELOPER PREVIEW
Start from a safe-empty edge.Govern behavior across physical spaces.
AetherIoT serves device makers, system integrators, solution builders, and edge operators: connect field devices and prove the read-only data path, then explicitly commission deterministic behavior through AetherEdge under capabilities, permissions, and safety rules.
AVAILABLE NOW: SAFE-EMPTY LOCAL RUNTIME, ACQUISITION, RULES, ALARMS, AND SAFETY INTERLOCKS · IN DEVELOPMENT: COMPLETE CONVERSATIONAL INTENT AND PROPOSAL EXPERIENCE
Illustrative data—not a statement of current device compatibility. Natural-language proposal generation is still in development.
IN THE TARGET EXPERIENCE, AN OPERATOR COULD SAY“After 10 p.m., turn off the lobby lights when it has been unoccupied for 10 minutes, set climate to 26°C, and only raise an alert if the entrance is unlocked.”

WHY AETHER
Stop wiring applications directly to devices. Start with governed outcomes.
Traditional IoT systems make every application handle protocols, state, and control separately. AetherIoT brings live state, typed capabilities, permissions, confirmation, and audit behind clear boundaries so solutions compose safely.
Compile intent into governed change
Typed capabilities, revisions, permissions, confirmation, and audit turn model output into inspectable artifacts—not direct device calls.
Execute without the model
AetherEdge runs commissioned acquisition, rules, alarms, history, and safety locally, even when the agent, cloud, or network disappears.
THE OPERATING PRINCIPLE
“Agents propose site changes. Permissions and safety rules check them. The edge runtime makes the final execution decision.”
ONE AI-NATIVE SYSTEM
Reason, verify, and execute—without blurred authority.
The beta already provides deterministic edge execution, governed application boundaries, public contracts, agent-readable docs, and cloud foundations. Conversational generation, simulation, and continuous adaptation remain explicit product direction.
