Cooling Cities with AI-Powered Temperature Insights

About us

We are an Abu-Dhabi born startup pioneering the future of urban temperature intelligence and advisory by building an AI to cool down cities. Our advanced platform is transforming granular heat data into actionable insights for a diverse range of decision makers and enterprise applications. All this will be made possible by introducing the world’s first ever Temperature Operating System “tOS”; an AI engine that hosts a collection of our aptly named ‘Large Temperature Models’ and serves as the backbone of our product suite all underpinned by our well-articulated Temperature as a Service (TaaS) business model. Join us in shaping cooler, more livable cities for tomorrow. We are currently building out a host of products including: - The Temperature Dashboard® is made for decision makers in various heat-sensitive functions such as urban planners, real estate managers, and public health officials. The dashboard provides bespoke analysis, visualizations, insights, and actionable recommendations that are hyper-applicable and digestible even for those with zero technical expertise. - The Temperature API® is created for enterprise clients such as Data Centers, GIS operators, and logistics companies who require high volumes of data processing and custom built features. Our API platform will help clients make smarter choices such as optimized routing or resource use. There are currently no effective alternatives to our offerings due to high startup costs, lack of suitable data, and poor technical understanding of urban heat. FortyGuard has already begun servicing this void in the US with the support of numerous technology partners such as Nvidia and others. Extreme heat affects livability and brings economic losses to banking, EV, and energy sectors. Both public and private sectors urgently need to understand and address urban heat. FortyGuard will lead this effort, providing tools for impactful change, ensuring cities become safer, smarter, and more sustainable.
