We develop autonomous hull grooming and inspection technology for commercial vessels. By actively avoiding millions of tons of air and water pollution, and minimizing the transmission of invasive aquatic species, we’re improving our oceans’ health while reducing maintenance and insurance expenses significantly. Biofouling is a critical factor impacting vessel performance and pollution. Slime and aquatic organisms accumulate rapidly on underwater surfaces, leading to a 2.5% loss in speed due to increased drag and more than 10% excess fuel consumption. When hulls are not proactively cleaned, later biofouling formations can result in up to 80% additional fuel costs. NakAI’s fully autonomous AI-guided hull cleaning robot addresses this climate-critical challenge head on. At our hubs in ports across the globe our robotic platforms remove early-stage slime and biofouling while inspecting anti-fouling coating and hull integrity. Advanced ML algorithms react to sea and water flow conditions instantly and generate hull assessment reports, preventative maintenance actions, and sustainability insights.

With our new As You Stay app, we’ve unleashed the true power of hotels, releasing them from their age-old constraints and allowing you book rooms conveniently around your own schedule and needs, not theirs. Two clicks. That’s all it takes to locate a nearby hotel using your mobile device and book a perfect room to rest, recharge, and relax for as long—or as little—as you want. Tapping into our hand-picked hospitality partner network, you can specify the exact check-in and check-out times you desire without the requirement of an overnight stay. Just stop by the front desk, pick up your key, and it’s smooth sailing from there. Pretty cool, right? What’s more, this convenience doesn’t come at an extra cost, as you’ll be pro-rated a fair and attractive room rate for only the exact hours you stay. How do we know this? We hate overpaying for things, too, so we price-check constantly to ensure our hotel partners are giving you a square deal. SO WHO NEEDS THIS APP? • Travelers stuck with a long layover or requiring a no-hassle early check-in or late check-out • Employers and recruiters needing a professional place to interview potential job candidates • Businesspeople ready to trade in the coffee-house chaos for a quiet, comfortable workspace • Small groups needing a quick place to congregate, converse, and plan strategy • Companies interested in swapping expensive overnight stays for power-packed tactical day trips • Individuals on the go in need of a quick siesta, shower, or place to unwind • Anybody else who loves the sound of “check in as early as you need, leave as late as you want” The As You Stay breakthrough. We hope you’ll be part of it. Whether you’re a traveler on the go, are scrambling to arrange a business meeting, or hey, just deserve a little quiet time to yourself, your perfect short-term room reservation is right around the corner!
