About Aina

Aina is a design-led consumer hardware company building a new generation of interfaces for the age of AI. We believe today's computers are still designed for browsing, even as AI becomes capable of understanding context, intent, and acting on our behalf. We're building a general-purpose interface beyond keyboards and touchscreens, designed to make interacting with AI effortless.

For our first year, we operated in stealth as Project Mirage, a Human-Computer Interaction lab exploring how people interact with AI in everyday life. We showcased three experimental interfaces at CES 2026, shipped Dune—a context-aware keypad for Mac—to hundreds of early adopters, and used everything we learned to validate our thesis on the future of Human-Computer Interaction.

In July 2026, Aina emerged from stealth with a $5.5 million seed round led by Redstart Labs and 360 ONE Asset to bring its flagship interface to market.
