3-Layer Platform Architecture: What You Integrate

Not another consumer app, and not an unpredictable cloud API — a clean, deterministic middleware layer inside your firmware stack.

Layer 1 · Your Hardware & Buses

Existing Chips & Sensors

Connects directly to your production SoCs (ARM64, x86, Embedded Linux / Yocto / RTOS gateways) and hardware buses — without requiring expensive AI NPUs or GPUs.

  • Audio & vibration streams (I2S, PDM, piezo/MEMS)
  • Smart-home, wearable & gateway interfaces (Matter, KNX, BLE/Thread)
  • Vehicle & industrial buses (CAN-FD, Modbus, ROS2, EtherCAT)
Layer 2 · KIRA Middleware Core

Deterministic Engine + .kaac Runtime

Our compact Rust middleware (< 15 MB) processes signals and intents in real time in local RAM and mounts signed .kaac knowledge & skill containers in under 2 ms.

  • Real-Time Signal & Physics Guard: Instant anomaly & envelope checks
  • Privacy by Architecture: Raw speech/telemetry never leaves the chip
  • Atomic Hot-Swap: Load new .kaac skills live without rebooting
Layer 3 · Your Brand & Aftermarket

Your Product UI & Digital Store

Exposes clean events, verified answers, and safety triggers via C-FFI, Unix socket, or local API directly to your own firmware and brand experience.

  • 100% invisible White-Label or co-branded “KaaC Ready”
  • Turnkey channel for post-sale .kaac feature upgrades
  • Tamper-proof local flight-recorder log for compliance & service

Four Hard Advantages for CTOs, Product Leaders & Procurement

Engineered to protect your hardware margin, accelerate time-to-market, and eliminate regulatory liability.

1 · Margin Protection

0.00 € Recurring Cloud OPEX Over 10+ Years

Whether a heat pump runs for 15 years, a car for 12 years, or a smart-home hub for 8 years: cloud-dependent AI eats up your hardware margin through ongoing server bills. KIRA executes locally on the customer’s device at zero recurring cloud inference cost.

2 · BOM Efficiency

Runs on Your Existing Production Silicon

Avoid costly PCB redesigns and supply-chain risks for specialized neural accelerators. KIRA’s deterministic Rust engine runs with minimal CPU and memory overhead alongside your existing embedded firmware.

3 · Regulatory Sovereignty

EU AI Act, Cyber Resilience Act & GDPR Solved by Design

No stochastic hallucinations in safety-relevant functions, no customer audio or behavioral data flowing into third-country clouds, and cryptographic Ed25519 / BLAKE3 verification on every update.

4 · Speed to Series Production

Weeks to Integration Instead of Building an AI Division

Skip multi-year in-house R&D. Your firmware team connects standard sensor streams and receives structured local events — validated risk-free in Shadow Mode before enabling active features.

The 4-Step OEM Integration Process

From initial architecture alignment to mass production and post-sale monetization — structured, predictable, and non-intrusive.

Step 1

SoC Check & Eval Kit

We review your target chip, OS, and sensor interfaces and deliver a ready-to-run KIRA Middleware binary with matching reference .kaac containers.

Step 2

Bus Hookup & Shadow Mode

Your team connects audio, bus, or gateway streams via C-ABI/IPC. KIRA first runs silently in Shadow Mode to prove real-world precision without touching control loops.

Step 3

Factory Image & Signing

Baseline .kaac containers and fleet cryptographic keys are embedded into your production image and tested against your QA bench.

Step 4

Series Launch & Aftermarket

Ship offline-capable smart hardware worldwide and unlock ongoing digital revenue whenever customers or service partners add new .kaac packs.

Post-Sale Monetization & Commercial Model i Tailored Commercial Licensing Terms scale individually by brand reach, device model, annual volume, and strategic ecosystem synergy — always with 0.00 € recurring cloud inference costs.

Turn One-Time Hardware Sales Into Recurring KaaC Revenue

Hardware margins are under constant pressure — yet customers reject forced monthly cloud subscriptions just to keep basic device features alive. KaaC (Knowledge as a Container) solves this dilemma:

Core device intelligence works permanently offline from day one, while optional high-value capabilities can be unlocked at any time as signed .kaac upgrades. Commercial licensing is structured individually around your brand reach, device model, unit volume, and ecosystem potential — from global flagship wearable and smart-home ecosystems to specialized industrial series.

1. B2B2C Ecosystem Revenue Share Participate continuously when end users unlock KIRA or third-party .kaac packs (e.g. acoustic security, family learning, legal/everyday advisors, offline maps) on your hub, wearable, TV, router, or vehicle.
2. Sell Your Own OEM KaaC Upgrades (100% Your IP) Package your proprietary diagnostics, master-technician workflows, or industrial material profiles as device-bound .kaac upgrades for B2B clients and service networks.
3. Tailored Partnership & Fleet Co-Creation Individual terms aligned with your brand’s market reach and model tier — plus optional co-creation advantages when anonymized 256-bit anomaly signatures help harden fleet containers.

OEM Questions & Answers — Engineering, Legal & Commercial

Direct answers for hardware architects, embedded leads, product managers, and procurement teams.

1. What hardware resources (CPU, RAM, flash, NPU) does the KIRA Middleware require on our device?

KIRA requires no dedicated AI NPU or GPU. The native Rust middleware binary measures under 15 MB and operates with a strictly bounded, deterministic RAM footprint. It runs effortlessly on standard ARM64 and x86_64 application processors already used in wearables, smart-home hubs, Smart TVs, routers, automotive ECUs, and industrial gateways.

2. Which operating systems, toolchains, and hardware interfaces are supported?

We support Embedded Linux (Yocto, Buildroot, OpenWrt), Debian/Ubuntu, containerized gateway stacks, and dual-board MCU/MPU setups. Your firmware communicates with KIRA via clean C-ABI / FFI bindings, Unix domain sockets, local REST/NDJSON, or direct bus adapters (I2S, CAN-FD, Matter, Modbus, ROS2).

3. How are commercial licensing terms structured — why are there no fixed unit price tables online?

Because a global consumer flagship deploying KIRA across millions of smartwatches and smart-home hubs brings massive ecosystem reach and KaaC aftermarket velocity, whereas a specialized industrial machine builder produces smaller series with high per-unit value. We therefore structure partnerships individually around brand reach, device model, annual volume, and KaaC revenue share — always with 0.00 € recurring cloud inference fees.

4. How do updates and new paid features reach devices that operate 100% offline?

All domain knowledge, rules, and acoustic/physical signatures live in modular .kaac containers. Containers can be delivered over your existing OEM OTA channel, unlocked via companion app in the local Wi-Fi, or — for air-gapped factories and defense/critical infrastructure — applied via cryptographically signed offline service media with zero-downtime hot-swap.

5. Who owns sensor data, customer relationships, and OEM-specific know-how?

100% stays with you and your end customer. Raw audio, cabin/room signals, and machine telemetry are processed locally in volatile RAM and never streamed to external clouds. Any proprietary .kaac containers you create for your own diagnostics or machines remain encrypted and cryptographically locked to your fleet.

6. How does KIRA help us meet the EU AI Act, Cyber Resilience Act (CRA), and product liability standards?

Probabilistic cloud models cannot guarantee deterministic bounds. KIRA enforces hard mathematical and physical guardrails, verifies every software/container artifact via Ed25519 and BLAKE3 Merkle trees (CRA supply-chain integrity), and optionally provides an immutable local blackbox log reconstructing exact sensor states around safety events.

7. Does KIRA replace our existing software/UI teams or run underneath our own brand?

Your existing touch displays, companion apps, and internal software teams remain 100% intact and valued — nothing developed over years has to be thrown away. KIRA sits purely as an abstracting local middleware layer underneath your UI, replacing fragile cloud dependencies. Deploy invisibly as White-Label Middleware or highlight sovereignty with the “Kira-Ready / KaaC-Ready” seal.

8. How does KIRA protect connected appliances and industrial units against IoT botnets and remote sabotage?

Following our “Local Network Yes — Public Internet No” architecture: devices communicate locally via MCP satellites with zero open internet ports and strict Zero-Trust egress (preventing DDoS botnet hijacking). Crucially, KIRA validates every command against physical invariants in its local Knowledge Graph — blocking destructive commands (such as heating a cold-storage unit to +50 °C) in sub-millisecond time while keeping devices maintainable for 15+ years without cloud obsolescence.
