The new model unlocks breakthrough platform capabilities including Agentic Video Walls, Activity Notifications, and Semantic Search, delivering agentic monitoring and investigations for enterprises.
Ambient.ai announced the general availability of Ambient Pulsar, its most advanced AI architecture to date. Designed to replicate the reasoning abilities of an expert security operator, Pulsar processes visual information at machine speed and enterprise scale. Trained on more than one million hours of ethically sourced video and capable of analyzing over 500,000 hours per day, Pulsar is now the largest vision-language system deployed in the physical security sector.
According to Cary Monbarren, Senior Director of Corporate Security at SentinelOne,
“With Pulsar, Ambient.ai has built what every enterprise security leader has been waiting for: an AI that’s not just fast, but intelligent. This platform is transforming how GSOCs operate, drastically reducing manual triage and response times.”
CEO Shikhar Shrestha added that Pulsar “marks the beginning of a new era for physical security—one where AI doesn’t just detect, but truly understands and acts.”
The Core of Ambient Intelligence: Pulsar
Pulsar is engineered as a next-generation, edge-optimized VLM that merges perception, semantic understanding, and autonomous reasoning. Unlike legacy analytics or detector-based systems, Pulsar operates continuously at the edge, enabling real-time, scalable performance across thousands of live streams.
Key Breakthroughs
- Always-On Edge Reasoning: Inference occurs where data originates, reducing bandwidth, cloud compute dependency, and latency.
- Open-Set Detection: Identifies unlimited behaviors, patterns, and anomalies—even those never explicitly trained.
- Contextual Intent Recognition: Understands the meaning and risk behind actions to distinguish harmless behavior from real threats.
- Scalable Agentic Autonomy: Distributed reasoning enables real-time awareness across multi-site deployments.
- Edge-Optimized Architecture: Powered by NVIDIA AI infrastructure, with parallel inference across dozens of streams per appliance.
Pulsar in Action: New Capabilities for Agentic Security
The Pulsar engine introduces several platform innovations that push the boundaries of autonomous security operations.
Launching Today
- Agentic Video Walls: A dynamic, adaptive operations environment that highlights the most relevant activity in real time.
- Activity Notifications: Security teams can define natural-language rules, enabling proactive alerts for everyday operational events.
- Semantic Search: Entire video archives become searchable using simple, conversational queries.
Early Preview Features
- Agentic Investigations: Operators can ask outcome-based questions—such as “Tell me what led to the fire?”—and Pulsar automatically assembles a complete timeline from multiple intelligence sources.
- Custom Threat Assessment: Security teams can adjust severity levels and alert behaviors using natural-language criteria.
A Platform for the Agentic Era
Ambient.ai’s platform now integrates monitoring, threat assessment, access intelligence, investigations, and orchestrated response beneath a unified AI engine. Enterprise customers across Fortune 100 technology, aerospace, finance, manufacturing, pharma, and critical infrastructure are reporting up to 95% reductions in false alarms and an 80% reduction in alert-handling times—driving substantial operational savings.
With Pulsar at the platform’s core, Ambient.ai is redefining what modern enterprise protection looks like: intelligent, autonomous, adaptive, and capable of preventing incidents before they escalate.
Online Keynote and Demonstration
Ambient.ai will host a live keynote today at 10:00 a.m. PST featuring in-depth demos of Pulsar’s capabilities. Registration details are available through the official event page.
Ambient.ai is a global leader in Agentic Physical Security. Its unified platform transforms enterprise protection through AI-driven monitoring, investigations, and incident prevention across large, complex environments.
