Zapdos Labs, an AI software company headquartered in Austin, Texas, with an office in Singapore, has closed a $500,000 USD pre-seed funding round to expand its AI Video Agent platform for manufacturers. The company's platform connects to a factory's existing CCTV cameras, reads the facility's own safety manuals to configure itself, and monitors live feeds in real time to detect safety violations and near-misses before accidents occur, all within approximately two days of deployment.
