🎨 Introducing Pixsso! Our first AI-powered hardware product


Important: Hal9 enables startup founders to launch their AI-powered product in 30 days. Hal9’s startup plan includes Hal9 Onboarding (design, development, infrastructure, and maintenance) and our Hal9 Platform (compute, storage, llms) starting at $2K / month. Hal9 Onboarding is capped by hours per month and Hal9 Platform capped by compute seconds per month. Details at hal9.com/plans.

Just launched Pixsso!

Pixsso is an interactive eInk frame that brings AI-generated art to your space. Unlike regular eInk displays, Pixsso features physical buttons that let you shuffle through different "AI artists", each creating unique visuals every day.

The AI system powering Pixsso was built on Hal9, showcasing the platform’s ability to support AI agents and seamless AI deployment. If this resonates with a project you have in mind, let’s chat! Schedule a time with us at hal9.ai.

Great thanks!
