STICK & DOT
Don't market, just mark!
Stick & Dot is an India-focused technology company building digital and hardware products for real-world use. We combine thoughtful design with practical engineering and AI/ML capabilities to create solutions that are reliable, scalable and accessible.
Our mission is to bridge the gap between advanced sensor technology and India's growing manufacturing sector. We are currently developing affordable laser scanners to put precision measurement in the hands of more Indian MSMEs (Micro, Small, and Medium Enterprises) and industrial businesses.
Why We Seek Google Cloud Support
As we scale Stick & Dot, the complexity of our hardware-integrated AI requires specialised infrastructure that only Google Cloud provides. We are applying for credit support to:
Computational Cost of High-Density Data
Credits will offset the massive inference expenses of real-time sensor fusion requiring Gemini's 2M+ token context windows.
Gemini-Driven R&D Acceleration
Google Cloud credits support will allow us to iterate on Gemini 1.5 Pro and Flash models to refine scanning precision without massive early-stage R&D overhead.
Infrastructure for Industrial Scale
Credits facilitate the deployment of Cloud Pub/Sub and BigQuery to process massive datasets that would otherwise be cost-prohibitive.
Hardware-to-Cloud Security at Scale
Support is vital for implementing Cloud KMS and IAM to meet the strict encryption requirements ensuring MSME spatial data remains private and client-controlled.
Edge AI Development Costs
We need credits to bridge the cloud-to-edge gap, optimising our high-performance ML models to run natively on Edge TPU and Coral hardware.
Operational Automation & Logic
Credits will power the Cloud Run and Google Slides API backend required to provide automated, instant spatial reports to our users.
Hands-Free Interface Research
Support will enable the integration of the Google Assistant SDK providing an essential voice-control interface necessary for workers in complex environments.
