Volocopter produces electric air taxis VoloCity for transporting people in cities and suburbs. According to the company, its eVTOL aircraft is silent, environmentally friendly and as safe as commercial airlines. The compact design, combined with vertical takeoff and landing capabilities, makes it ideal for flights in cities and terrain inaccessible to other modes of transport. The company has also developed the VOLOIQ software platform, which serves as the foundation of the Volocopter urban air mobility ecosystem. Powered by artificial intelligence, it provides technologically advanced analytics for fleet management and optimization. It uses AI to predict weather, distribute flights among passengers, optimize aircraft charging, process safety data from multiple sensors, predict breakdowns, and create optimal maintenance schedules.

AI Medical Service develops AI-based software and device to support endoscopic imaging of the stomach and detect gastric cancer. The company has already received certification (in Japan) for its AI-based endoscopic detection add-on device, which operates inside the stomach. The AI system analyzes endoscopic images of the stomach obtained by endoscopic equipment during an endoscopic examination. The device then detects areas in the images suspicious for early gastric adenoma and assists physicians in diagnosing these lesions by placing a frame within the image and playing a sound. These mechanisms help the observer to focuse attention, interpret the image and detect lesions.

Carbon Robotics creates agricultural robot LaserWeeder, which recognizes weeds using computer vision and destroys them with a laser. The robot is mounted on a combine harvester and receives information from a camera system. The company has developed an artificial intelligence model - Large Plant Model (LPM), which allows farmers to identify and destroy new weeds without reprogramming/retraining robots. LPM was trained on over 150 million photos and data collected by the company's machines on more than 100 farms in 15 countries where the robots are currently operating. This model now forms the basis of Carbon AI, the artificial intelligence system that serves as the "brain" of the company's autonomous weed-killing robots. Carbon Robotics has also created its own autonomous tractor - LaserWeeder.

Nirvana is an AI-powered insurance platform that uses big data of truck mileage to provide optimal insurance policies for truck companies and drivers. The company's platform covers both fleet (groups of more than 10 trucks) and non-fleet (1-9 trucks). It charges on a pay-as-you-go basis, with pricing based on safety data captured through vehicle telematics and data recorded by the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration, the trucking industry's regulatory agency. In addition to its underwriting technology, which Nirvana claims enables it to generate quotes 15 times faster than traditional insurers, the company has also developed AI tools that are expected to automate and expedite claims processing.

Cognition, the startup behind Devin - popular AI programming agent and of (acquired) AI-powered integrated development environment Windsurf. It was one of the first AI startups to launch a full-fledged AI programming agent, which not only assisted with tasks but promised to fully automate them. However, early reviews showed that Devin was prone to errors, perhaps indicating that the AI agent technology was ahead of its time. However, the agent gradually became reliable enough even for enterprise development teams. The company has hundreds of enterprise clients, including Microsoft, NVidia, JP Morgan, and Goldman Sachs. Devin can clear backlog, modernize codebase and assist with new projects. It's built for collaboration, integrates with GitHab and can be trained to fit company's unique workflow. It also connects to MCP servers, from Asana to Zapier.

Replit allows to vibe code directly in mobile app - describe your app idea in simple terms and watch agent is turning into a working product. Whether it's a mobile game, a productivity tool, or a small digital store, the platform can generate the app and, what's more, help publish it to app stores. For example, if a stock trader tasks an agent with "creating an app tracking the 10 largest public companies by market capitalization" - Replit generates a mobile app with a working interface and allows him to preview and test the app. Replit has also integrated its platform with the Stripe payment processing system, allowing users to monetize their apps easily.

Zanskar specializes in exploration and development of geothermal energy sources. It has developed AI platform for searching for geothermal deposits and constructs power plants at discovered sources. The company uses modern drilling and computational geophysics technologies to discover new resources, de-risk known resources, and mitigate the risk of "dry holes." Zanskar addresses key challenges hindering the rapid expansion of geothermal energy by reducing exploration costs and increasing the size of each geothermal deposit. Zanskar currently holds the industry's largest portfolio of conventional geothermal development projects across the western United States. For example, in 2024, Zanskar acquired the Lightning Dock geothermal power plant, which had been operating at low capacity for several years. In less than a year, Zanskar restored the plant to full capacity and is now supplying power to the grid after discovering and drilling in a deeper, hotter zone.

Emergent is an AI-powered platform for creating websites, web- and mobile apps. It lets you create and host projects, provides access to cutting-edge LLM models and chat interface where you can explain how the app should work in natural language, while the AI takes care of coding, design and deployment. As advertised, the generated code is ready to use and the resulting app is entirely yours. But Emergent is designed not only for complete beginners but also for experienced developers. You can create and deploy your own specialized agents tailored to your workflows, implement integrations that connect services, automate tasks and accelerate delivery, collaborate with your team in real time and sync projects with GitHub for version control.
