Bota is not selling a wearable for its own sake. It is selling the context that a software company can build on top of one.

## What it does

Bota describes itself as offline context infrastructure for AI agents ([Speedrun profile](https://speedrun.a16z.com/companies/bota)). Its current [website](https://bota.dev/) and [docs](https://docs.bota.dev/) say software companies can capture in-person conversations through devices, sync recordings, transcribe them, and consume the result through APIs.

The buyer is a product team building healthcare, sales, legal, finance, or productivity software that needs offline conversation data but does not want to manufacture hardware, manage replacements, or build the entire processing pipeline.

| Fact | What the public source says |
| --- | --- |
| Buyer | Software companies adding conversation capture to an existing product |
| Workflow | Device provisioning, offline recording, upload, transcription,
