Caper AI develops and deploys AI-powered automated checkout devices, specifically smart shopping carts that use computer vision to identify items as they are added. These carts allow grocery shoppers to skip traditional checkout lines by self-scanning. The technology is used by retailers, grocers, and convenience stores across the US and Canada. Key differentiators include plug-and-play implementation, lower cost compared to store-wide systems like Amazon Go, and gamified features for customers.
