About Kirana AI

Our first product utilizes an on-premise GPU that monitors the store 24/7, scans for theft, looks for workplace health and safety issues, and optimizes customer service. With future POS/ordering data integrations, our manager will automate many of the day-to-day tasks of running a store, such as ordering, pricing, assortment, and delegating.
