About

Aina is a design-led consumer hardware company building a general-purpose physical interface for AI agents, intended to sit alongside the phone and laptop rather than replace them. It was incorporated in May 2025 and operated as a human-computer interaction lab under the name Project Mirage, showing three experimental AI interfaces at CES 2026 across use cases like online meetings, booking rides and ordering food. Its first shipped device, Dune, is a three-key aluminum keypad for Mac that draws power over USB-C and dynamically reassigns its keys based on whichever application is in focus; hundreds have gone out to early adopters. The company has a roughly 35-person team split between San Francisco and Bangalore and raised a $5.5M seed round in July 2026.

Rather than another always-listening recording wearable, Aina builds context-aware physical controls that let a person direct and approve what AI agents do, reading intent instead of requiring typed commands.
