About Kirana AI

Kirana AI is building the first full-stack AI store manager.

With 100 years of family experience owning and operating grocery stores, we are starting there to prove our impact.

Our first product utilizes an on-premise GPU that monitors the store 24/7, scans for theft, looks for workplace health and safety issues, and optimizes customer service.

With future POS/ordering data integrations, our manager will automate many of the day-to-day tasks of running a store, such as ordering, pricing, assortment, and delegating.
