Watching over, never watched

A privacy-first AI presence — for therapy, and for safety, at home.

Adam's Space AI turns careful attention into structured therapy records and gentle safety signals. It stays close to the people who need it, without ever putting them on a screen for anyone else to see.

Every calculation happens on the device in the room. No video ever reaches a cloud, a server, or anyone but the person already responsible for that care.

The problem

Three quiet crises, one root cause

A therapist spends up to a third of every session writing instead of watching a child learn. Half of U.S. counties have no certified behavior analyst at all — for millions of families, therapy simply isn't somewhere they can drive to. In many other countries the situation is far worse — and it's not only about physical access, but financial access too. And for the parents of a child who communicates little, or not at all, there's a specific kind of fear that never really goes away: knowing something is wrong, without knowing what, until it's too late to help.

We didn't invent this problem. We're building the tool we wished existed while living it.

30%

For millions of families, certified therapy isn't a scheduling problem — it's a place that doesn't exist nearby.

Knowing something is wrong without knowing what, until it's too late to help, is a fear that never fully goes away.

Map of diagnosed autism prevalence by country worldwide

Diagnosed autism prevalence by country — a map of where autism is recognized, not of where there's more of it

By WHO estimates, autism affects 1% of the world's population — 61.8 million people, one in 127. But recent research agrees on one thing: the real prevalence is likely above 3%. The difference isn't statistical noise — it's a difference in who gets noticed.

The autism prevalence map by country doesn't show where autism is more common — it shows where it's better recognized. The darkest countries on the map — Japan, Brunei, Singapore, South Korea — aren't more "autistic" than the lighter Bangladesh, Nepal, Bhutan, India. They simply have a higher capacity to detect it: broader diagnostic criteria, more specialists, more attention to "milder" points on the spectrum.

Since 1990, the recorded number of people with ASD worldwide has grown from 30 to 52 million — but actual prevalence has risen only about a fifth as much. The rest of that growth isn't more autism; it's more noticed autism. Even in France, a country with one of the strongest healthcare systems, only 15% of an estimated 700,000 autistic people have a formal diagnosis.

This is exactly why we're building task-shifted access, not just a product for people who already have a therapist. The light part of the map isn't a place without autism. It's a place where there's simply no one to say so yet.

The architecture

Two problems. One architecture.

Everything runs on the same foundation: on-device computer vision, nothing leaving the room, a person always in the loop. What changes is what it's for — documenting a therapy session, or noticing that a child is heading for a door they shouldn't open.

Track 1 — Therapy Support

Documentation today.

A real path to families who have no other access to therapy at all, tomorrow.

Track 2 — Safety

A gentle presence.

For children at home, and — with the right partner — for adults in supported living. Never a security camera.

Track 1

Therapy Support

Shipping now

Documenting the session

It watches the trial, not the clock. Prompted responses, independent ones, what changed since last time — structured automatically, exported straight into CentralReach, Catalyst, or Rethink. MVP ships end of September 2026.

Helping the therapist see the pattern

Weeks of sessions become one picture: what's working, where progress has stalled. A second set of eyes on data the therapist already owns — never a decision made for them.

Later

Reaching the families who have none

Where there is no certified therapist within reach, a parent or a trained paraprofessional runs the session with our structure, and a therapist reviews the results remotely — the same task-shifting model the WHO has used for decades to stretch scarce specialists further. This is not AI replacing a clinician. It's a way to put a clinician's judgment where it currently can't reach.

Track 2

Safety

Piloting now, at home

Warning about the things that matter

A door opening when it shouldn't. A window. A moment of self-injury, a fall. The signal goes to one person: the parent already responsible for that child. Nothing about this is built to catch anyone doing something wrong — it's built so a family can feel present even when they can't be in the room.

Piloting now, at home

Seeing the warning signs before the storm

Real-time signals for the precursors to a meltdown — and over weeks, something more: patterns connecting behavior to schedule, to sleep, to what and when a child eats. For a child who can't say what's wrong, this is sometimes the only way anyone finds out. We're careful here on purpose: these are hypotheses for a parent to bring to a doctor, never a diagnosis, never medical advice from a small sample.

Supported living, done right

The same architecture, deployed with an existing community-based supported-living provider — never an institution. It lets one caregiver support more people safely, without turning someone's home into a place that feels watched.

Privacy & ethics

Privacy isn't a feature we added. It's the reason the architecture looks the way it does.

Raw video is processed in real time and then it's gone — never stored, never sent anywhere. What leaves the device is a number, a trend, an alert: never a frame. Every recording used to train or improve the system exists because a parent, a guardian, or the adult themselves said yes, specifically, in writing. This is not the same category of technology as public-safety or child-protection surveillance systems. We build for one thing: a private relationship of care — a family, a therapist, a caregiving team — never detection on behalf of an authority.

Video is processed and discarded on-device, in real time.

Every dataset starts with written, informed consent.

The system assists. It never diagnoses, and never reports a family.

Built for private care, never for institutional surveillance.

Tested across skin tones and facial structure before we claim accuracy.

Diet and schedule patterns go to a doctor — never sold as advice.

Roadmap

Where we are, where we're going

Two tracks, moving in parallel, sharing one foundation. We give dates as targets, not promises — every stage we list ends in something you can actually see: a published report, a working pilot, a real export.

Who it's for

Five kinds of people already waiting on this

Families

Warnings for dangerous behavior, and a clearer sense of what's happening for a child who can't quite tell you. Free, always, at the core.

ABA therapists & centers

Less time writing, more time watching a child actually learn. Your existing tools, just with less busywork feeding them.

Communities with no local specialist

A parent or a trained helper runs the session; a therapist reviews it from wherever they are. Not a replacement — a way to reach the families who currently have no one.

Supported-living operators

One team, safely responsible for more people — without a single camera anyone has to feel watched by.

Researchers & policy partners

A dataset built on consent from day one, and a methodology we're willing to publish, including the parts that don't work yet.

Evidence & honesty

What we know, and what we're still finding out

This section will keep changing as we learn more, on purpose. We'd rather be exact about what's real than impressive about what isn't.

Working today

A functioning documentation prototype, trained on real, consented sessions. MVP ships end of September 2026.

An on-device architecture that's actually built, not just designed.

Not proven yet

85–92% accuracy is a target, not a validated result — that's what our pilots exist to test.

Dangerous-behavior detection is validated for home use so far, not for supported living — different setting, different population.

Diet and schedule patterns are hypotheses from a small sample, never medical advice.

Team & origin

Why we're building this

This started with our own children. Two of them are autistic — one speaks several languages, one doesn't speak at all. How much of their therapy time went into writing things down instead of teaching, and how impossible it is to track the precursors of a meltdown or dangerous behavior by hand, 24/7, without turning our own presence beside the child into constant pressure on him — that's what started all of this.

We built the first version on real therapy sessions from our own children, with the full consent of the family and the therapy center. We went into this deliberately, with our eyes open — understanding in advance where this work could lead, not stumbling onto it along the way. Behind it is a specific goal: to make life better for autistic people in general, and to build a real, happy, thought-through model of supported living — for Nika and Adam, not for some abstract idea somewhere in the future. This isn't a side project or an adjacent hypothesis. It's the future we're building for our own children — and for many other families alongside them.
