Value proposition
Democratizing hardware innovation by enabling anyone — regardless of technical background — to build IoT prototypes using natural language, eliminating the need for soldering, wiring, or deep engineering expertise
Products and solutions
MakeGPT (GenAI-powered hardware development platform), GenStack (open-source prompt-to-software platform), IoT prototype kits with 60+ components (sensors, communication tools, actuators), AI Express (edge computing ML device for real-time CV & IoT)
Unique value
World's first platform that converts natural language descriptions directly into complete, working IoT hardware prototypes — including component lists, firmware code, wiring diagrams, and assembly instructions — with physical kits delivered within 3-5 days
Target customer
Students, makers, MSMEs, corporates, startups, and educational institutions looking to rapidly prototype IoT and hardware solutions
Industries served
Manufacturing, Pharmaceuticals, Renewable Energy, Architecture, Education, IoT, Hardware Prototyping
Technology advantage
GenAI engine trained on millions of hardware designs; Natural Language-to-Hardware Interface; Automated System Generation with intelligent component selection; Real-Time Design Iteration; Educational Insight Mode using Inverted Bloom's Taxonomy; 50+ supported platforms; 95% success rate; 10K+ prototypes built
How they differentiate
Unlike traditional IoT platforms that require coding and electronics expertise, MakeGPT uses GenAI to generate complete hardware solutions from plain English descriptions — including automated component selection, firmware generation, and physical kit delivery — making hardware prototyping accessible to non-engineers
Main competitors
Arduino (traditional IoT prototyping), Particle (IoT hardware platform), Seeed Studio (hardware prototyping services)
Key partnerships
IIT Madras Research Park (incubation), Tamil Nadu Government (IT Minister launched MakeGPT), NTU Singapore (plans for Singapore presence), StartupTN
Major milestones
August 2025: MakeGPT launched by Tamil Nadu IT Minister Dr. Palanivel Thiagarajan at IIT Madras Research Park, February 2026: GenStack (open-source prompt-to-software platform) unveiled, 2026: Plans to establish presence in Singapore through NTU
Growth metrics
10,000+ prototypes built; 50+ supported platforms; 95% success rate; Launched August 2025 at IIT Madras Research Park
Market positioning
Early-stage deep-tech startup positioned as an Indian alternative in the AI-powered hardware prototyping space, targeting the democratization of IoT development for students, MSMEs, and enterprises
Geographic focus
India (primary), with expansion plans to Singapore and Southeast Asia
