About AItomic

We came from the showroom floor.

The warehouse. The trade show booth. The P&L. We spent thirty years there before building the AI tools we wished we'd had. Ann Arbor, Michigan — founded January 2026.

The founders

82 combined years. One industry.

Three industry veterans who together bring more than eighty years inside home, gift, and fashion — alongside a team of about twenty engineers, AI-native from day one.

Why this, why now
We're building what we wished we'd had for the last three decades — alongside a team that's AI-native from day one, in an industry that's been waiting for exactly this.
