Creoir focuses on embedded speech technologies and AI for the defense sector. The company develops on-device voice AI that functions offline and without cloud connectivity, specifically designed for noisy and security-critical environments.

The startup's portfolio includes EdgeVUI for hands-free voice interaction in native languages and Operator Assistant, an AI-driven knowledge base for mission-critical data. EdgeVUI utilizes NLU, ASR, TTS, and SSE technologies from US-based Cerence AI.

Creoir currently collaborates with European defense primes and system integrators, including Saab, Leidos, and ThyssenKrupp Marine Systems. The company was also selected for NATO's Layered Counter-UAS Initiative (LCI-X) operational experiment.
