Osmo.ai focuses on digitizing the sense of smell, starting with fragrances and aiming to improve human health and wellbeing. The process involves three steps: 'reading' converts odor molecules into digital signals, 'mapping' organizes these signals, and 'writing' reproduces scents from the digital data. Their main product, the Osmograph, captures and reproduces scents, similar to how photos capture images. Osmo.ai differentiates itself by offering technology licensing to various industries, allowing businesses to create personalized scent experiences. The goal is to revolutionize how scents are used across different sectors.
