Natural turn-taking
Coordinate this capability with live identity, interaction state and product policy instead of treating it as an isolated feature.
USE CASE / 01
Cognitive Runtime
built as infrastructure.
Build social robots that maintain identity, attention, memory and natural realtime conversation across repeated encounters.
THE OPERATING PROBLEM
From model output to dependable behavior.
A social robot is judged by how it participates, not by a single clever answer. It must recognize when attention shifts, preserve a relationship across visits, recover from interruption and keep speech, gaze and behavior coherent.
IronHeart coordinates perception, realtime voice, persistent memory, personality, gaze and approved actions as one continuous interaction loop.
Teams can begin with a managed Cloud API pilot, move interaction-critical paths to the edge, or scope a private deployment. The partner owns the customer experience and operational policy; IronHeart supplies the cognitive runtime beneath it.
What IronHeart sells
A configurable cognitive runtime—not a one-size-fits-all robot personality. Partners purchase managed Cloud API access or scope edge, offline, private-cloud and OEM production licensing with integration support.
Relationship memory
Configure behavior per role and environment, then preserve it through versioned testing and publication.
Attention and gaze
Connect the module to approved knowledge, memory and actions while retaining a clear human escalation path.
THE COMPLETE COGNITIVE LOOP
Six modules.
One interaction state.
A useful embodied system cannot treat voice, memory and action as unrelated calls. IronHeart coordinates the modules around the live person, environment, role and task.
Each module can be configured per robot or product while published versions preserve a reproducible operational state.

BUY & DEPLOY
Start with the integration path that fits the product.
Primary buyer: Robot OEM product teams and social-robotics integrators.
What to measure: Evaluate end-to-end task completion, conversational recovery, policy compliance and the quality of human handoff for social robots.
Required controls: Consent, identity handling, memory controls and physical action boundaries must be visible and testable.
Cloud API
Prototype and launch with managed realtime runtime services and the published API plans.
Review pricing →Edge & Offline

FAQ
Questions before integration.
Is IronHeart.AI a complete social robots application?
It is cognitive runtime infrastructure. The partner owns the interface, hardware, business rules, customer relationship and go-to-market.
How can a team purchase it?
Start with a Cloud API plan for evaluation. Edge, offline, private-cloud and OEM production licensing are scoped through an integration workshop.
Can the runtime use our existing knowledge and systems?
Yes. Server-side adapters can connect approved knowledge, identity, workflow and hardware systems.
What should be validated before production?
Consent, identity handling, memory controls and physical action boundaries must be visible and testable.
