Palona AI

What Palona AI does

Palona AI builds a new, completely proprietary AI system with multi-agents, multimodal-to-action models, combined with unrivaled emotional intelligence language models to empower businesses to scale by delivering a high-touch customer experience, automation and efficiency. Our AI Agents supercharge the core of your business. Palona AI is a next-generation restaurant AI platform designed for voice and text-based ordering, acting as a conversational AI assistant that answers every call and message with a brand's signature personality, capturing orders, booking tables, and delighting guests 24/7 through voice AI. Palona's platform is built on a sophisticated multi-modal, multi-model architecture that seamlessly integrates voice, text, images, and video to deliver comprehensive AI capabilities. The company's Real-World AI is an applied research effort to build and study grounded, multimodal intelligence systems in live environments, using restaurants as a proving ground for real-world intelligence at scale.
