The recent reveal of the Fitbit AI Health Coach on Google's Pixel Watch 4 is a far cry from when we used our smartwatches to only count steps or calories. As opposed to generic responses, today we can leverage AI to become our personal health coaches with recommendations tailored to YOU. These AI assistants use behavioral nudges to help make realistic and effective change over time.

About us
Ambiq® was founded in 2010 on the simple yet powerful notion that extremely low-power semiconductors are the key to the future of electronics. Through the use of pioneering ultra-low power technology, innovative companies around the world are developing differentiated solutions that reduce or eliminate the need for batteries, reduce overall system power and maximize industrial design flexibility. Our mission is to enable intelligence (artificial intelligence (AI) and beyond) everywhere by delivering the lowest power semiconductor solutions. We enable our customers to deliver artificial intelligence compute at the edge where power consumption challenges are the most profound. Our technology innovations, built on the patented and proprietary subthreshold power optimized technology (SPOT), fundamentally deliver a multi-fold improvement in power consumption over traditional semiconductor designs. We’ve powered over 270 million devices today. As we see the shift in devices move from “smart” to “AI,” our technology and solutions have evolved to accommodate the power requirements needed to enable feature rich devices that are always on, high performing, secure, accurate, energy efficient, and just as important practical. Our leadership in powering devices made for edge AI has helped technology innovators across wearable, smart home and buildings, industrial, healthcare, and other sectors deliver intelligent devices that can do more while consuming less.

We’re honored to share that Ambiq has been recognized with the Exit of the Year Award from the Michigan Venture Capital Association 🏆 This award celebrates companies funded by Michigan investors that achieved a successful acquisition or exit, contributing to the strength and growth of Michigan’s entrepreneurial and investment community. At the ceremony was Ambiq's CTO and Founder, Scott Hanson, whose roots run deep within the Michigan Entreprenurial community as a University of Michigan alumni who spun up Ambiq in 2010. In July 2025, Ambiq made its successful IPO debut on the New York Stock Exchange. A huge thank you to our investors, partners, and the MVCA for this honor—we’re excited to continue pushing the boundaries of energy-efficient innovation. #MVCA #semiconductors #Entrepreneurship #edgeAI

Edge AI will enhance the quality of life and productivity of consumers and businesses' by putting intelligence all around us— but to be effective, it needs to overcome resource constraints such as power and memory. Our VP of AI, Carlos Morales, got to speak with Electronic Product Design & Test [EPDT] about the use cases for edge AI and how to design for this valuable segment in AI. Watch the full video below with EPDT editor, Mike Green 👇
Video Interview: Addressing the Diversity & Constraint Issues Presented by Edge AI This latest EPDT interview sees Editor Mike Green in conversation with Ambiq's VP for AI, Carlos Morales, on how to deal with the broad array of potential edge AI uses cases that are now coming to the fore, while still being able to adhere to acute resource limitations - like power budgets and memory reserves.

Ambiq SPOT: TIME's The Best Inventions of 2025 (Artificial Intelligence) Proud moment of truth: AI Inferencing vs Ultra-low-power for most cases, are somewhat contradicting; you can achieve one of them, hardly both together. Here in Ambiq we broke that rule; offering outstanding computation for AI yet consume very, very little power. Wish for an Edge AI design that runs for a long long time, with a teeny tiny battery? We offer you our secret key to success: Ambiq SPOT🗝️ https://lnkd.in/g2J5EySa

Very Cool Beans -- I just heard that, only a few days after I posted my column on Ambiq (https://lnkd.in/e_pPYB8P), their SPOT platform was named one of TIME magazine's best inventions of 2025 (https://lnkd.in/ejpSNxP9). Coincidence? I think not (well, that's my story, and I'm sticking to it!)

It's the end of an era for a remarkable piece of Ambiq's engineering history 🥹 Today, Ambiq retired the first engineering compute server our founders bought in 2011. "Engineering Zero", or as many at Ambiq know it as, "eng0," helped lay the technical foundation for our company, faithfully supporting our engineering teams and company growth for over 14 years. We honored eng0's legacy with a proper send-off and by displaying it in our Austin office lounge. Thank you for your service, eng0! 🎉
