Abu Dhabi-based Origen Technology has unveiled the intelligence system behind DOMIA, its AI-native home platform first introduced at MWC Barcelona.
The company said DOMIA moves beyond traditional smart homes that depend on commands and preset rules, instead using a system that learns behaviour, understands context and can act within user-defined limits.
At the core is a resident-aware AI layer that adjusts home settings such as lighting, temperature and air quality based on occupancy and habits. It also detects issues like water leaks and can operate through a digital twin of the home. Origen said data can be processed locally, with users able to view and delete it.
Frank Dai, CEO of Origen, said: “For years, ‘smart homes’ have been evaluated by their device count. However, we believe that is the wrong metric. The real measure is how well a home understands its residents. With DOMIA, intelligence is the product and the hardware is simply its body, fully replaceable beneath an end-to-end cognitive layer we have engineered ourselves. We are not adding another assistant to the home but rather giving the space a mind of its own – one that earns trust by operating strictly within resident-defined boundaries and remaining fully under their control.”
The company said the platform aligns with growing demand for AI-driven infrastructure across the GCC as governments invest in smart cities and digital transformation.
