Kimera Systems is located in Portland, Oregon, USA, and has developed Nigel(TM), a network resident, human-like intelligence techology for fixed and mobile network operators and device manufacturers so they can take back control of and monetize when and how value is delivered over their devices and networks by steping in front of aggregator level OTTs (such as Google, Facebook, etc.) and deliver value directly to user devices. This control flows from Nigel's ability to understand users and deliver hyper personalized apps, services and content at precisely the moment they're needed, thereby powerfully influencing the user's key daily decision points. This technology represents a very significant revenue growth opportunity in fixed and mobile networks and networked devices. MNO and OEM revenue will soar by hundreds of USD billions over the next several years as a result of this technology. Additionally, Nigel has been architected to fully support MNO and OEM monetization of apps, in-app purchases, services and the Internet of Things (IoT). Nigel is the world’s first single algorithm, human-like intelligence technology to make phones and other networked devices smarter and is the result of a radically different approach based on quantam physics, rather than neuroscience. Kimera’s breakthrough makes smartphones aware of users’ needs and goes far beyond context awareness, the WHAT​, and understands WHY (intent awareness), achieving artificial general intelligence (AGI). Nigel technology makes networks and devices intelligent and transforms passive apps, devices and networks, which today require user inputs, into a dynamic services environment constantly adapting to users’ changing needs. Importantly, Nigel AGI goes far beyond the limited capabilities of narrow AI solutions and achieves transfer learning, meaning any intelligence gained in one domain can be applied in any other domain in which that intelligence has value.
