The city of San José California has announced the winners of its inaugural AI Incentive Program, the first city-run grant program of its kind in the U.S. Under the initiative, early-stage startups using AI to tackle everything from maternal health to food waste competed for public funding and professional services. From a pool of 170 competitors, three won a $50,000 grant, while one received $25,000 in funding. The winners were maternal health company Elythea, which uses AI voice agents to connect with at-risk patients, smart kitchen platform Metafoodx that uses embodied AI to cut waste and optimize operations at restaurants and hardware optimization company Clika, which simplifies AI models into low-power formats to improve accessibility and efficiency across edge devices.
