Engineering for AI systems in the real world
Hardware, embedded systems, mobile apps, and deployment tooling
About 31Labs
We build production-grade systems for AI products that interact with hardware, audio, and physical environments.
Most engagements involve some combination of edge inference, embedded Linux, low-latency audio, mobile apps, operational dashboards, and deployment tooling.
Engagements typically start as a focused prototype (4–8 weeks) on real hardware, then scale into production with OTA updates, fleet telemetry, and the operational tooling needed to run it day-to-day.
Services
What we actually build. Most engagements combine several of these.
Edge AI Systems
On-device inference on Raspberry Pi, NVIDIA Jetson, and custom Linux boards. We deliver the model, the runtime, and the telemetry to see what’s actually happening in the field.
Audio & Voice Infrastructure
Low-latency audio capture, processing, and routing across devices, networks, and AI services. Includes intercom integrations and bidirectional voice pipelines.
Embedded & Hardware Integration
Embedded Linux, device provisioning, OTA update systems, and integration over USB, serial, GPIO, and MQTT.
Mobile & Control Interfaces
Native mobile apps, web dashboards, and the realtime backend connecting them to devices in the field.
Got a hardware/AI project stuck between demo and deployment?
We’re small and selective about engagements. If you’re building a system in this space and could use embedded, audio, or deployment expertise, we’d like to hear about it.
Discovery
Understanding the existing infrastructure, constraints, and deployment environment.
Prototype
Rapid proof-of-concept development using embedded systems and modern software stacks.
Integration
Connecting hardware, realtime AI systems, mobile apps, and operational tooling.
Deployment
Provisioning, monitoring, OTA updates, and field-ready infrastructure.
Frequently Asked Questions
What teams usually want to know before reaching out.
What does a typical engagement look like?
A 4–8 week prototype on real hardware, followed (if it makes sense) by a scoped production phase with OTA, telemetry, and deployment tooling.
Can you fit alongside our existing team?
Yes. We frequently work as a specialist on one part of a larger project — embedded, audio, or deployment.
Do you handle both hardware and software?
Yes: embedded Linux, mobile apps, dashboards, backend services, and OTA infrastructure.
Where are you, and how do you work?
Remote, based in the Netherlands. Online during European business hours, overlapping with US morning.
How do engagements start?
A short call, a written scope, then a fixed-fee prototype or time-boxed exploration.
Do you build custom hardware?
Most projects start with reliable off-the-shelf platforms and embedded Linux systems. For custom electronics and production hardware, we work with specialized partners when needed.
