PorchIQ

Smart home intelligence, reimagined.

A private, AI-first app that turns cameras, locks, lights, weather, energy, sprinklers and the pool into one calm place you can talk to. It runs on a small computer in the house, so nothing about the home leaves it.

The challenge

A dozen apps, one house.

Problem

Modern homes run on a pile of separate apps: one for cameras, one for locks, another for the sprinklers, the pool, the thermostat and the music. Most send video and habits to someone else's cloud, and none of them talk to each other in plain language.

Goal

Build one beautiful, phone-first app that covers every system in every house an owner has, adds AI that actually helps (narrated cameras, search, voice, plain-words automations), and keeps all of it private by running inside the home.

The whole house at a glance

One calm screen for every house: what's on, what's locked, how warm it is and what's coming up, with a tap to switch houses.

AI first

AI that earns its place, and stays home.

Every AI feature runs on the home's own hardware. Doors, locks and alarms always ask before they move.

Cameras that narrate

Instead of 40 motion alerts: "A delivery driver left a box at the front door." Written by AI on the home's own hardware.

Find anything you've seen

Type "red pickup" or "someone with a ladder" and get every matching moment across every camera.

Ask the porch

Wake-word voice assistants that answer on the speaker in the room, each with its own name and voice.

Automations in plain words

Say what you want and it builds the automation, then shows what it would have done last week before you switch it on.
