Lightberry builds the software layer for expressive, interactive robots. We combine voice AI, perception, and behavior systems so robots can understand people and respond naturally.

We are a small, hands-on team based in San Francisco, working across software, hardware, design, and research to turn new capabilities into robots people can interact with today.

We care about thoughtful craft, fast iteration, and shipping real systems into the world.

Yep, you read that right.

Robots are here, but they ship with no software. They’re all mute, deaf, and blind out of the box. The only way to get the robot to do anything is to write code. This is insane.

We want robots to behave like in the movies: proactive, caring, aware.

Animation is how our robots feel alive. A tilt of the head, a beat of hesitation, a glance before speaking — you’ll author the performance that makes a machine a character.

The twist: your character is real. It stands in a room, people walk up to it, and your timing plays out in front of them. No renders, no cuts. Live, every time.
