For Hardware Manufacturers
Your devices are always on - now they can power AI
Embed a single firmware module and every connected device in your installed base becomes a revenue-generating node — silently, continuously, without touching the user experience or your warranty obligations.

02 / THE OPPORTUNITY
Revenue stops the day the device ships
One-time sale, ongoing support cost, zero recurring income from the installed base. AI Gateway gives every connected device a second revenue layer that runs for its entire operational lifetime.
01 / The problem
One-time sale, lifetime support
Revenue lands once at point-of-sale. The device stays online for years, consuming power and bandwidth, with zero monetization tied to its actual lifetime.
01 / The answer
Per-device, per-month recurring
Each opted-in device earns continuously based on actual contributed bandwidth. A 5M-device fleet at average usage generates a recurring revenue line you can forecast against firmware updates and support cost.
02 / The problem
Margins are squeezed every year
Hardware competes on specs and price in a market that punishes both. Adding ads or paywalls erodes brand trust. There’s no margin lever left in the BOM.
02 / The answer
A margin lever outside the BOM
Network monetization runs at the firmware layer, not the unit-economics layer. It improves device-level lifetime value without any change to component cost, retail price, or competitive positioning.
03 / The problem
Updates cost money, generate none
Security patches, OTA updates, and customer support are cost centers that grow with fleet size. They protect existing revenue but create none.
03 / The answer
Fund the support stack itself
Most partners use AI Gateway revenue to offset firmware engineering and extended-warranty programs – turning the support function from a cost center into a self-funded asset.

04 / INTEGRATION
A firmware module & not a wrapper
Single static library, drops into your build system. No background services, no init at boot, no impact on factory test or OTA. Engineering work is measured in weeks, not quarters.

.consent_cb = on_consent_required,
};
if (aig_init(&cfg) != AIG_OK) return -1;
// Start when network is available and user has opted in

07 / HOW TO START
Three steps & no suprises
Step 01
Share your fleet
Short form: device categories, installed base size, region mix, platforms. We assess fit, send a directional revenue model, and confirm there’s a real conversation to have.
Step 02
Business + technical fit
Commercial review with your business team, then a technical dive with your firmware engineers. We answer questions; you decide whether the math works.
Step 03
Integrate + ship
Module, docs, dashboard, KYC contracts. Integration support from a real engineer assigned to your account. First payout after 30 days of rollout.
Your installed base is already worth more - let's quantify it
We respond within two business days with a revenue model specific to your fleet and platform mix.
