# Useful Sensors (Moonshine AI)

> Useful Sensors, now operating as Moonshine AI, builds fast, low-resource, private-by-design AI that runs entirely on-device: the Moonshine family of low-latency speech-to-text, text-to-speech, and intent-recognition models with SDKs for in-browser JavaScript, server-side Python, and C++ on edge devices, plus earlier plug-and-play hardware (Person Sensor, Tiny Code Reader). Founded by former Google TensorFlow leads Pete Warden and Manjunath Kudlur. There is no hosted cloud API — all processing happens locally.

Generated by the API Evangelist enrichment pipeline (2026-07-21) from apis.yml and repo artifacts; the provider publishes no /llms.txt of its own.
