Technology that speaks your language

Domera Labs builds Ami, the first AI companion for seniors. Ami brings the power of a smartphone into a more human form: voice-first and deeply personalized

We at Domera Labs are rethinking human-machine interaction from first principles by introducing a better interface to interact with technology: voice

By combining the most intuitive hardware design with frontier AI, Ami makes AI accessible for the fastest growing demographic worldwide. The goal is to make the everyday life older adults more seamless, while addressing that generation's biggest challenge: loneliness and isolation. With Ami we are building the category leader of a new hardware paradigm by building a full standalone device (and not a gadget) that aims to makes the smartphones of today redundant.

The underlying technology of Ami combines a model-agnostic streaming pipeline consisting of proprietary models and off-the-shelf frontier models to create a hyper-personalized and proactive user experience. The backbone of Ami is built by our foundational lab that builds a social intelligence model that is optimized for social interaction, human behavior and interpersonal skills.

Domera Labs has secured large distribution agreements, a model co-development partnership with a leading AI lab, and ODM manufacturing proposals. We are looking for people who want to build at the intersection of human-machine interaction, mass-consumer facing hardware and shape frontier research with social/non-quantifiable benchmarking.

Core Responsibilities

• You own the device: everything between the silicon and the cloud. Our users are 75 years old and there is no screen, no settings menu, and no IT support. If the device does not just work, it fails. Your job is to make that true.
• Device identity and fleet management: provisioning, unique device identity, secure key storage, and the systems that let us know what every unit in the field is doing
• The maintenance channel: a reliable service and diagnostics path to the device (BLE, USB-C, or both) for field debugging, factory test, and recovery
• Out-of-the-box experience: first-boot network onboarding that a senior can complete alone, with no screen and no smartphone as a crutch. This is the single highest-stakes piece of the product
• Flash and update management: partition layout, A/B OTA with rollback, staged fleet rollouts, and bricking as a category of bug that never happens
• Base platform behaviors: boot and recovery, factory and soft resets, button and LED mappings, audio feedback, power states and battery behavior
• The audio front end: working with our ODM and silicon partners on mic array, echo cancellation, wake word, and the latency budget from mic to first spoken token
• Bringing the device through EVT, DVT, and PVT with our ODM as the technical counterpart on our side
