Meadow AI
Meadow AI is a Seattle-based multimodal AI platform that gives restaurants and retailers real-time visibility into their physical operations. By combining computer vision, natural language processing, and data from existing point-of-sale, labor, inventory, video, and audio systems, Meadow automates the manual 'secret shopper' audits that chains have long done by hand - continuously evaluating customer experiences and staff performance, then surfacing AI recommendations to lift revenue, tighten consistency, and reduce labor costs. The company emerged from stealth in November 2025 with $6M raised and more than $2.5M in contracted annual recurring revenue.
