OWL combines artificial intelligence, voice activation, and connected safety technology to create a new generation of personal protection — always on, always aware.
Existing safety tools are reactive — they work after something goes wrong. OWL is built to be proactive, intelligent, and invisible until it's needed.
South Africa has one of the highest rates of personal safety incidents in the world. Yet personal protection technology remains either too expensive, too complex, or too slow to respond.
OWL operates as a layered personal protection system — each layer building on the last, from awareness through to emergency response.
OWL monitors your environment continuously using AI-powered audio and contextual signals, building a picture of your surroundings.
Threat patterns are recognised and risk levels assessed in real time. OWL learns your normal — so it notices when something isn't.
Voice keywords or silent triggers activate response protocols instantly — no unlock, no fumbling, no delay.
Trusted contacts are alerted, location is shared, incident recording begins, and emergency services are notified — all automatically.
Customisable voice keywords trigger OWL without touching your phone. Works even when your device is locked, in a bag, or out of reach.
A discrete button sequence or wearable tap sends an emergency signal silently — no noise, no attention drawn, no escalation required.
Full integration with major smartwatch platforms. Trigger OWL from your wrist, receive threat alerts as haptic feedback, and track health signals under stress.
AI models trained on personal safety data assess your environment and provide real-time risk context — helping you make better decisions before trouble starts.
Configure up to five trusted contacts who receive real-time location, situation status, and automatic alerts. They see exactly what they need to help.
Audio and video recording begins automatically on activation. Footage is encrypted and uploaded to secure storage immediately — preserving evidence even if the device is taken.
Market research, user interviews, competitive analysis, and core concept validation across four South African cities.
Building core voice activation, silent panic, and trusted contacts functionality. iOS and Android apps in parallel development.
Closed beta with 500 users across Gauteng. Apple Watch and Garmin integration. Threat awareness AI model training begins.
National rollout with integrated emergency service dispatch, insurance partner integration, and enterprise security partnerships.
