Production AI for mission-critical operations · San Jose, CA

AI that picks up when the elevator stops.

We build production-grade voice, knowledge and operations AI for industries where downtime is dangerous and expensive. Proven with KONE — a Fortune 500 Europe elevator company — and expanding from elevators to enterprises.

The problem

Every minute inside a stalled elevator is a liability.

Traditional service operations still run on manual call handling, fragmented reporting and slow technician response. The result is downtime, cost and frightened passengers.

  • 30+min

    average rescue response today

  • 1queue

    a trapped passenger waits behind everyone else at peak

  • 0shared context

    the operator, the dispatcher and the technician each start from scratch

Rescue response

Traditional 30+ minutes
With WeLink seconds

20M+

elevators and escalators in service worldwide — and the same pattern (installed equipment, field technicians, emergency calls, legacy dispatch) repeats across HVAC, building automation, industrial equipment, fleets and medical devices. Industry estimates

Platform

One platform. Four production-grade capabilities.

Voice, knowledge, operations and vision — reusable building blocks for any equipment-heavy operation, integrated with the systems you already run.

01 · Voice

Real-time Voice AI

Emergency & call-centre automation. Streaming speech recognition → an LLM grounded in your SOPs → streaming synthesis, with barge-in and a four-tier fallback that ends with a human. Multilingual.

  • Twilio
  • Azure Speech
  • LLM + RAG
  • Redis
  • ECS

02 · Knowledge

Knowledge & Maintenance Intelligence

Sales, service and maintenance assistants that answer only from your documents: fault-code triage, procedures, pricing, policy. 80% → 90% accuracy, with a feedback loop from real query logs.

  • LangChain
  • Embeddings
  • ChromaDB
  • Metadata filtering

03 · Operations

Smart Maintenance Operations

Tickets, technician dispatch, predictive scheduling and a real-time uptime dashboard — integrated with your CRM, PLCs and dispatch systems instead of replacing them.

  • Dispatch
  • Predictive scheduling
  • Analytics
  • Integrations

04 · Vision

Generative & Computer Vision

Elevator interior concept design for sales teams; batch visual generation on self-hosted models with GPU scheduling; computer-vision inspection (vehicle damage detection) for mobility.

  • Diffusion
  • LoRA
  • GPU scheduling
  • CV inspection

Inside one emergency call

One call, four stages — and the caller never hears silence.

Scroll through the production architecture: the path an emergency call takes from a stalled car to a spoken answer — and what happens when something fails.

  1. Someone is trapped on floor 12. The call hits Twilio and streams over a WebSocket to a stateless worker. No keypad menu, no queue.

  2. Azure streaming recognition with tuned endpointing turns speech into text while the passenger is still talking. Barge-in means they can interrupt.

  3. The LLM answers from the emergency SOPs via RAG. Every piece of call state lives in Redis under the CallSid, so any worker can take over. A watchdog reassigns a call ten seconds after a heartbeat goes quiet.

  4. Streaming synthesis overlaps with generation. If a stage times out: shorter prompt → cached answer → human operator with full context. The caller never hears silence.
