OpenVector on the record

What they shipped

  • From its YC profile: OpenVector transforms any existing camera into an automated 24/7 workforce without requiring new hardware. Users simply describe a task in plain English, and OpenVector automatically builds a custom AI vision model to monitor the feed. When it detects an important physical event—like a stalled production cycle, a safety violation, or a waiting customer—it operates a computer just like a human to take immediate action. It integrates with legacy systems to make calls, send emails, update a POS/CRM, or trigger webhooks in real time. OpenVector enables any camera to do real work. (source)
  • Its own site describes it as: "An AI that lives in your camera to take action. Choose a camera, describe what matters, and let OpenVector act in the tools you already use." (source)

Who is behind it

  • Andrey Gizdov, Founder/CEO: Dropped out of PhD. Computer Vision @ Harvard. (source)
  • Vishal Urlam, Founder: CMU'23, ECE'20 | MIT GrandHack '25 | Kellogg Design Challenge '23 (source)
