​promiseQ began with a chance meeting, a passing conversation, and a shared vision between co-founders Elias Kardel and Tolga Ermis. While both worked on AI projects in the automotive industry, a single conversation redirected their focus and set them on the path of security innovation.

Elias mentioned his father-in-law’s struggle with constant false alarms from a school security system, revealing a widespread industry issue. With false alarms costing around $1.8 billion annually in the US alone, Elias and Tolga saw an opportunity to make a real difference.

Combining their expertise, they founded promiseQ to bring AI-powered security to life. Today, promiseQ’s technology verifies alarms in real-time, drastically reducing false alerts by integrating advanced AI and edge computing hardware for efficient, on-the-spot processing. The team continuously refines the AI, setting new standards for smarter, more reliable security and video surveillance.
