Most dogs spend the workday alone, bored, and anxious, and that is when barking, stress, and destructive behavior take hold. WIM-Z is an autonomous AI robot that makes a dog's whole day better. It watches, engages, and dispenses treats, and unlike a static pet camera it intervenes on barking and problem behavior in real time, then tracks each dog and reports back to the owner. We have a working fleet in the field, every tester has converted to a paid deposit, and we are targeting a $500K pre seed to lock manufacturing and ship our paid release.
WIM-Z AI makes a dog's whole day better while the owner is away. It watches, engages, dispenses treats, and intervenes on barking and problem behavior in real time, then reports back. Initial target is North America, focused on dense pet friendly metros with high apartment living and long owner work hours. Expansion follows to global pet friendly markets in Europe and East Asia.
SDG 3 (Good Health and Wellbeing): reduce owner stress and improve human animal bond quality through reliable remote care. SDG 8 (Decent Work and Economic Growth): create skilled hardware, software, and operations jobs across the US and USMCA supply base. SDG 12 (Responsible Consumption): durable, repairable, no forced subscription hardware designed to last, reducing throwaway pet gadget churn. Animal welfare: reduce behavioral surrender risk by addressing boredom, anxiety, and problem behavior early.
What they need right now
A reliable design for manufacturing and contract manufacturing partner to take the validated prototype to a clean pilot run at target cost. This unblocks the paid release and the unit economics story.
