Aani is a Finnish deep-tech startup building a proprietary acoustic metadata and machine listening platform that processes multi-channel audio in real time (under 10ms) to extract spatial, semantic, and contextual intelligence from sound. Their patented software runs on low-powered processors and is hardware-agnostic, designed to be embedded in devices ranging from mobile phones and smart glasses to autonomous vehicles and robotics. The technology outputs structured acoustic metadata including source count, spatial localization, semantic classification, and environment classification, enabling applications in immersive media, safety monitoring, and industrial automation. Their first product, the Stereo2Binaural upmixer plugin, was released in January 2026.
