KinetiCAD was born from a simple observation: the gap between engineering design and robotic execution has never been bridged by AI. Every industry has been transformed by intelligent automation: yet manufacturing's core workflow still relies on engineers manually programming every robot by hand.

Our founding team brings together computer vision, distributed systems, and product & market expertise - with roots in robotics research, production AI, and industrial SaaS.

OUR APPROACH

WHAT WE
STAND FOR

01

Build for engineers

We design every feature around the engineer on the shop floor, not the executive in the boardroom. The interface should be invisible: the result is what matters.

02

Ground truth only

Robot programs have to be correct. We only output what we can ground in the actual file; no hallucinations, no guesses. If we're uncertain, we say so.

03

Work in the open

We partner with manufacturers early, show working software and take feedback seriously. The companies we're building with shape what we build next.
