Eyes for AI, without a camera

AI that knows how you really reacted.

A desk mat and light bar that read your body's signals. Your AI uses them to learn what works for you, coach you and warn you early. No camera, and nothing to wear.

See it work

What changes when AI can see how you respond.

The moment

You read the AI's code fix. You type nothing, but you stop at the database migration.

What Aro sees

Arousal spikes and your breathing holds at that line.

Without AroAI assumes the fix landed, because you said nothing.
Your AI, with AroYou stopped at the migration. Want it explained, or a safer version?

AI corrects itself before you have to re-prompt.

It sits on your desk. It never watches you.

Why Aro

More than human eyes can see, with less intrusion.

Webcam AI

Watches your face. It can't read signals inside the body, and most people don't want it on.

Wearables

Know your body, but have no idea what your AI just said, or what you were reacting to.

Aro

Reads your body and knows what the AI just did. That pairing is what tells AI how you really reacted.
