# Helm.ai > Helm.ai is an AI software company for autonomous driving and robotics, founded in 2016 > and headquartered in Redwood City, California. It builds camera-first perception, path > prediction and end-to-end autonomy stacks, plus generative AI tools for AV development > and validation, trained with its proprietary Deep Teaching unsupervised learning method. > The software is licensed to automotive OEMs and Tier 1 suppliers as embedded components > of production vehicle programs. ## IMPORTANT FOR AGENTS — there is no Helm.ai API Helm.ai publishes **no public API, no SDK, no developer portal, and no machine-readable specification**. As of 2026-08-22: - `api.helm.ai`, `docs.helm.ai`, `developer.helm.ai`, `app.helm.ai`, `portal.helm.ai`, `console.helm.ai`, `status.helm.ai`, `mcp.helm.ai` — all NXDOMAIN. - `helm.ai/openapi.json`, `/openapi.yaml`, `/swagger.json`, `/v1/openapi.json`, `/api-docs`, `/docs`, `/redoc`, `/graphql`, `/apis.json`, `/llms.txt` — all 404. - Every `/.well-known/` path probed (security.txt, openid-configuration, oauth-authorization-server, api-catalog, ai-plugin.json, agent-card.json, agent.json) — 404. - `/developers`, `/developer`, `/api`, `/sdk`, `/documentation`, `/pricing`, `/login` — all 404. - No first-party package on npm, PyPI or any other registry. The GitHub organization https://github.com/helm-ai is verified but has zero public repositories. Do not attempt to call a Helm.ai endpoint; there is nothing to call. Access to the software is arranged through a commercial engagement — https://helm.ai/contact-us. ## Products - [Helm.ai Vision](https://helm.ai/products/perception): production-grade urban and highway perception for Level 2+ to Level 4. Multi-camera surround view, bird's-eye-view perception, semantic segmentation, 3D bounding boxes, distance estimation, mapless (no HD maps). Includes ISO 26262 ASIL-B(D) certified components; assessed at ASPICE Level 2. - [Helm.ai Driver](https://helm.ai/products/helm-ai-driver): vision-only, real-time transformer-based path-prediction and end-to-end autonomy stack for Level 2+ through Level 4, powered by Factored Embodied AI. Camera-only — no HD maps or Lidar required. - [GenSim-3](https://helm.ai/products/gensim): generative AV resimulation at native Full HD (2-megapixel), for scenario re-styling and closed-loop validation. - [VidGen-3](https://helm.ai/products/vidgen): generative synthetic driving video for training and validation. - [WorldGen-1](https://helm.ai/products/worldgen-1): multi-sensor generative foundation model of the driving world. ## Technology - [Technology overview](https://helm.ai/technology): Deep Teaching, the unsupervised learning method behind the foundation models; also states the safety posture — compliance with ISO 26262 functional safety, adherence to ISO/PAS 21448 (SOTIF), and ASPICE integration. Hardware-agnostic: runs on NVIDIA, Qualcomm, Texas Instruments and Ambarella platforms. Named partners and customers include Honda Motor and Volkswagen. ## Company - [About](https://helm.ai/about) - [News](https://helm.ai/news) - [Blog](https://helm.ai/blog) - [Press kit](https://helm.ai/press-kit) — brand rule: always written "Helm.ai". - [Careers](https://helm.ai/careers) - [Contact](https://helm.ai/contact-us) — the only route to the software. press@helm.ai for media, privacy@helm.ai for data requests. - [Privacy policy](https://helm.ai/privacy-policy) - [GitHub organization](https://github.com/helm-ai) — verified, zero public repositories. ## Optional - Japanese-language mirror of the whole site under https://helm.ai/ja - This file was GENERATED by API Evangelist from the public Helm.ai site and is not published by Helm.ai.
