👀👂🤚 Smarter than “just an eyeball.” “If eyes were enough, we’d have evolved with just one,” says BrightAI CEO Alex Hawkinson on 𝘛𝘩𝘦 𝘗𝘳𝘰𝘥𝘶𝘤𝘵 𝘔𝘢𝘳𝘬𝘦𝘵 𝘍𝘪𝘵 𝘚𝘩𝘰𝘸 with Pablo Srugo. Too many businesses fall into whack-a-mole mode — fix one issue, create another. BrightAI’s AI + IoT platform breaks the cycle by: - Giving operators the 𝐟𝐮𝐥𝐥 𝐬𝐞𝐧𝐬𝐨𝐫𝐲 𝐩𝐢𝐜𝐭𝐮𝐫𝐞 with multiple sensor types — eyes, ears, touch, and more - Helping providers turn one-time product sales into 𝐩𝐫𝐨𝐟𝐢𝐭𝐚𝐛𝐥𝐞, 𝐫𝐞𝐜𝐮𝐫𝐫𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐫𝐞𝐯𝐞𝐧𝐮𝐞 - Solving problems at their root, not just on the surface The result: solutions that work for everyone — more resilient operations for customers, and stronger long-term growth for providers. ▶️ Watch the clip to hear why modern AI + IoT is “awesome for everybody.” #EssentialServices #InfrastructureInnovation #AIForGood #BrightAI #ProductMarketFit

𝐇𝐕𝐀𝐂 𝐓𝐞𝐜𝐡 𝐒𝐡𝐨𝐫𝐭𝐚𝐠𝐞? 𝐇𝐞𝐫𝐞’𝐬 𝐇𝐨𝐰 𝐀𝐈 𝐈𝐬 𝐂𝐥𝐨𝐬𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐆𝐚𝐩. The HVAC industry is facing a serious labor crunch — fewer technicians entering the field, more demand than ever. BrightAI is helping HVAC companies turn this challenge into an advantage by: • Diagnosing before arrival: the right tech, with the right part, on the right truck, at the right time. • Boosting productivity: fewer wasted trips, more first-time fixes. • Unlocking new revenue: proactive monitoring of new and aging systems opens service opportunities that didn’t exist before. As Brett Worthington shares in this video, remote monitoring means you know if a system is running as expected — in real time — so you can take action before customers even notice a problem. ▶️ 𝐖𝐚𝐭𝐜𝐡 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐯𝐢𝐝𝐞𝐨 𝐭𝐨 𝐬𝐞𝐞 𝐡𝐨𝐰 𝐁𝐫𝐢𝐠𝐡𝐭𝐀𝐈 𝐢𝐬 𝐡𝐞𝐥𝐩𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐇𝐕𝐀𝐂 𝐜𝐨𝐦𝐩𝐚𝐧𝐢𝐞𝐬 𝐠𝐞𝐭 𝐚𝐡𝐞𝐚𝐝 𝐨𝐟 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐥𝐚𝐛𝐨𝐫 𝐬𝐡𝐨𝐫𝐭𝐚𝐠𝐞. #AI #HVAC #LaborCrisis #Productivity #SmartTech #BusinessGrowth

𝗢𝗻𝗲 𝗶𝗻𝘀𝗲𝗰𝘁. 𝗢𝗻𝗲 𝘀𝗵𝘂𝘁𝗱𝗼𝘄𝗻. 𝗠𝗶𝗹𝗹𝗶𝗼𝗻𝘀 𝗹𝗼𝘀𝘁. In food and pharma production, there’s zero tolerance for pests. Just hours of undetected activity can trigger shutdowns, recalls, and lasting brand damage. Pelsis Group partnered with BrightAI to replace manual trap checks with AI-powered fly lights—enabling 24/7 monitoring, species ID, and environmental sensing across facilities. No blind spots. No delays. Real-time visibility that protects product integrity and keeps operations moving. 📽️ See the 3-minute story of how this technology is redefining pest control in high-risk industries. #BrightAI #PestControl #AI #FoodSafety #DigitalTransformation #EssentialServices
