Lab / What is Aeralyte
The lab
A research lab giving machines a sense of smell.
Machines can already see, hear, move, and speak. They still mostly cannot smell — and smell is chemical information the physical world is full of.
What we build
Aeralyte is building the full smell intelligence stack, not a single gas sensor: controlled air sampling, compact electronic-nose arrays, on-device AI, calibration protocols, and rigorous experimental methods. The intelligence lives in the loop between air, sensor, model, protocol, and deployment.
The ladder
01 · SenseDetect chemical changes in air.
02 · InterpretClassify smell fingerprints.
03 · TraceLocate sources and understand context.
04 · PredictDetect risk before visible symptoms.
05 · SynthesizeModel and reproduce scent signatures. Scent synthesis is the long-horizon fifth rung — no experimental claims yet.
Where we are now
The bench is live and recording controlled exposure runs — training data for the smell models. See the current stage on the homepage.
What we are chasing first: repeatable smell fingerprints on our own bench hardware — and the discipline to publish only what each stage of evidence supports.
