BrightAI

BrightAI builds Physical AI for essential services — continuous, AI-driven awareness of the real-time state of physical infrastructure for operators of water, power, energy, transportation and industrial systems. Founded in 2019 by SmartThings founder Alex Hawkinson, the company ships a four-layer Stateful platform (Data Acquisition, AI Hub, Stateful OS, Foundation Models) combining peel-and-stick sensors (Stateful Sticker), autonomous drone and quadruped inspection, a voice-interactive field Stateful Wearable, and infrastructure foundation models trained on operational outcomes across millions of industrial assets. BrightAI publishes no conventional developer portal or OpenAPI, but it does operate a public, no-authentication Model Context Protocol server at public.stateful.world/mcp exposing six read-only tools over its Global Observability Database, alongside an llms.txt index, agent-addressed markdown briefs, and two unauthenticated public JSON endpoints.

BrightAI publishes 2 APIs on the APIs.io network. Tagged areas include Company, Physical AI, Industrial IoT, Infrastructure Monitoring, and Predictive Maintenance.

BrightAI’s developer surface includes documentation, authentication, support, signup flow, and 13 more developer resources.

Regulatory Posture applies to this provider. Its tags matched the Energy & Utilities regime, so Regulatory Posture carries 15 points of the composite. If this regime is wrong for your business, say so on your provider repo — the applicability map is public and we will correct it.

Create-or-Update Ergonomics could not be measured. We hold no machine-readable contract for this provider to read, so there is nothing to measure a write surface against. Excluded rather than scored zero: never-measured and measured-empty are different facts. Publishing an OpenAPI is what makes this facet — and several others — scorable at all.

The six quality facets above are damped to 85 points between them, because the conditional facet above carries the other 15. That is why each facet's contribution is shown against a damped maximum: raising a quality facet moves the composite by 85% of its nominal weight, not 100%. The full arithmetic is at apis.io/rating/.

Improve this rating by publishing the missing artifacts — every area above can be raised, and the full rubric is at apis.io/rating/. Every facet and dimension name above is a link: it opens that measurement's own page — what it means, the exact checks that feed it, how the whole catalog distributes on it, and the providers at the top of it. This rating is computed from github.com/api-evangelist/brightai: open an issue to ask a question, or submit a pull request to add artifacts.
