Under the Hood
Nearly a decade of biomechanical research, behavioral modeling, and real-time AI engineering — compressed into an experience that fits in your pocket and responds in under 200 milliseconds.
Every second your phone's camera is pointed at your pet, Como is running a four-stage intelligence pipeline — from raw pixel data to actionable, spoken insight.
The camera feed is sampled at high frequency and processed through our native vision module — hardware-accelerated directly on the device's neural processing unit. No data leaves your phone for this step. Everything happens locally, at the speed of the processor you already own.
24 anatomical keypoints are identified across your pet's body — nose, ears, neck, shoulders, elbows, wrists, spine, hips, knees, ankles, and tail — with submillimeter precision in real time. The result is a live skeletal map that updates with every frame, independent of lighting conditions or camera angle.
The live skeleton is fed into our behavioral inference engine — trained on years of annotated animal movement data across dozens of breeds. Gait asymmetries, postural deviations, kinematic trajectory anomalies, and emotional state markers are all computed simultaneously. This is where the 78% accuracy lives.
The analysis result is passed — along with your pet's full behavioral profile, mood state, and health history — to our persistent voice AI session. In under 200 milliseconds, Como speaks. Not a pre-recorded phrase. A contextually aware, personalized statement about the specific animal in front of you, right now, in this moment.
Predictive behavioral accuracy measures how often a system correctly identifies the cause, emotional state, or health trajectory behind a specific observed behavior — before an external confirmation event occurs.
Trained veterinarians and certified animal behaviorists — professionals who have spent years studying these signals — score between 44–48%. The average pet owner, relying on intuition and pattern recognition, lands under 30%.
Como scores 78%. The gap isn't because the AI is smarter than a veterinarian. It's because it never gets tired, never has competing information, and analyzes thousands of data points per second across dozens of body regions simultaneously.
Como's voice layer runs on a persistent, low-latency bidirectional audio protocol — not a request-response cycle, not a chatbot. A true continuous conversation that maintains context across your entire session.
Every pet in Como gets a voice profile — a personality, a tone, a way of speaking — mapped to their species, temperament, age, and behavioral history. When your dog's anxiety markers spike, Como doesn't just report it. It responds in a voice that sounds like it genuinely knows them.
Consistency is the single most important variable in pet health outcomes. It's also the one most pet owners struggle with. We studied the behavioral mechanics behind the most effective habit-formation systems ever built — and applied them to the one motivation that is genuinely immune to rationalization: the wellbeing of an animal you love.
XP. Levels. Streaks. Daily challenges. The gamification layer isn't decorative — it's the mechanism that converts good intentions into measurable behavioral change. In our early users, daily care consistency increased by over 3× within the first two weeks.
