Gather AI operates what it calls the world's first Physical Intelligence Platform for intralogistics, deploying autonomous drones that fly through warehouses to scan barcodes, count pallets and audit inventory without infrastructure changes. Its AI turns the captured imagery into real-time inventory accuracy data for logistics teams. Founded in 2017 by Carnegie Mellon PhDs including CEO Sankalp Arora and headquartered in Pittsburgh, Gather AI counts Kwik Trip, Axon, GEODIS and NFI Industries as customers. In February 2026 it raised a $40M Series B led by Smith Point Capital Management, bringing total funding to $74M.
