August 2025 was a busy month for us – and the rest of 2025 is shaping up to be even busier!

I’m humbled to share that our facial age estimation product has reached 1 million transactions. This milestone represents more than just a number: it reflects the trust of our partners and users, and it validates the hard work that went into making an accurate, secure, and efficient solution that runs entirely on-device.

Why On-Device Matters

From day one, we believed that privacy, speed, and accessibility were non-negotiable for any age verification technology. By ensuring all PII-related computations happen locally on the device, we eliminate the need to send sensitive facial data to the cloud. This approach protects user privacy, and makes it acceptable for regulators worldwide.

The Industry Context

The field of facial AI has been evolving rapidly, with growing conversations around:

• Privacy and data sovereignty: Regulations like GDPR and other regional laws emphasize minimizing data sharing and storage. On-device execution aligns perfectly with this direction.
• Edge computing adoption: From smartphones to IoT devices, edge AI is becoming mainstream, reducing dependency on centralized infrastructure.
• Fairness and inclusivity: Researchers and regulators are increasingly focused on bias reduction and ensuring that age estimation works reliably across demographics.

Our progress to this milestone reflects the relevance of these considerations not just for regulators and researchers, but also for businesses and end-users demanding safer, faster, and more ethical solutions.

Looking Ahead

We’re excited about what comes next. Some of the areas we’re focusing on include:

• Enhanced accuracy across more diverse populations, ensuring fairness and reducing potential bias as age verification bills gradually become laws across the globe.
• Smaller, faster models that can run on an even broader range of devices, from entry-level phones to vending machines and much more.
• Expanded applications in industries such as retail, age-restricted commerce, gaming, advertisements, and digital safety.
• Standards and transparency continue participating in shaping best practices for responsible use of facial AI.

A Word of Thanks

Reaching 1 million transactions is not just our achievement. It’s the result of our partners, customers, and investors who believed in the vision of on-device, privacy-first AI. Thank you for being part of this journey.

The next million transactions will arrive faster than we imagine, and we are excited to continue building technology that is accurate, fair, and respectful of privacy.
