Osmo

Digital olfaction and scent AI

Osmo is a digital olfaction company working to give computers a sense of smell, with applications across fragrance, manufacturing, security and medicine. Smell is the sense most directly wired to emotion and memory, and it is also the one that has resisted digitisation longest — sight and sound were captured and reproduced a century ago, while scent has no equivalent. The company applies automation and carefully targeted machine learning to problems beyond the reach of human intuition alone, and is headquartered in Elizabeth, New Jersey with an additional office in Somerville, Massachusetts.
