Ambient.ai is a unified, AI-powered physical security platform helping the world’s leading enterprises reduce risk, improve operational efficiency, and gain critical insights. Seven of the top 10 U.S. technology companies, along with multiple Fortune 500 organizations, rely on Ambient.ai to modernize their physical security infrastructure.
