Designed and engineered by world-class scientists

General Sense is built on three decades of peer-reviewed neuroscience, signal processing, and machine learning research. Every component of our system, from the neural interface to the intelligence layer, was designed by scientists who define the fields they work in.
unmatched performance
Our animals detect at 100x higher sensitivity than a traditional dog
In controlled trials, our system identified target compounds at concentrations below 1 part per trillion — orders of magnitude beyond the detection threshold of any commercially available electronic detector, and 100x beyond a traditional detection dog.

federated learning

Over-the-air update for every dog

Our patented federated learning system means every chemical signature encountered by any dog in the fleet is available to all of them. The network doesn't just grow — it compounds.

The General Sense network turns every individual detection into fleet-wide capability. An encounter with a novel threat means universal recognition across every deployed dog.

features

Vaporware OS is the Command Center

Every vapor trace becomes geo- and timestamped data, stored in secure, encrypted servers for forensic and real-time analysis.
Talk to an expert
Instant digital readout of detection
Data is fed out to device (phone or augmented reality glasses) so that the operator can see hundreds of chemical targets in real-time.
Predictive analytics is built-in
Eliminating paperwork means chemical sensing and detection can be digitally scalable, enabling more powerful use of canine-generated data.
Uncover more than previously known
Uncover new signatures from contextual odor compositions, from both threat and non-threat chemical representations.
FAQ
Questions, answered with clarity
What can you detect?

We can detect anything that dogs have been known to smell, which includes explosives, novel narcotics, biotoxins, human diseases, crop diseases, and much more. We are not limited by what the dog can pay attention to.  

Is this safe for dogs?

Absolutely. We use medical-grade neural interfaces fit for humans, and a surgical technique invented over 40 years. This is arguably less invasive than spaying and neutering.

How long does it take to train a new dog?

As soon as a dog is installed with a neural interface, it can be trained on hundreds to thousands of chemicals within one or two days. This is because of our patent called federated learning that allows one dog to learn from the entire fleet of dogs without having to be behaviorally trained.

How long does the olfactory interface last?

Our olfactory interface will be designed to last over five years, which is the average career lifetime of a working dog.

What makes us a platform and not a product?

Every deployment generates chemical data that no other system captures. Our models learn the unique composition of different chemicals in the air to build a general chemical intelligence. This will help operators make sense of not just the target but the context around them.

Is this based on published science?

Yes, our technology builds on decades of peer-reviewed neuroscience and brain-computer interface research, including foundational work from NYU. Our co-founder is one of the leading neuroscientists on olfactory decoding.
