Retrocausal, Inc.
"AI Copilots for Smarter Manufacturing Operations"
US AI software company (est. 2019, Redmond WA) providing computer-vision Copilots for manual assembly quality and productivity.
Retrocausal, Inc. is an AI software company founded in 2019 and headquartered in Redmond, Washington, with an additional Midwest office in Tyler, Texas. The company develops generative AI-powered Copilot software that uses computer vision—deployed via off-the-shelf overhead cameras at workstations—to monitor, analyze, and guide manual assembly operators on manufacturing shop floors.
The core product suite includes three Copilot applications: Assembly Copilot, which provides live worker guidance to detect missed assembly steps and reduce quality defects; Kaizen Copilot, which captures and analyzes shopfloor video to accelerate continuous improvement workflows including line balancing, station design, and P-FMEA quality planning; and Ergo Copilot, which monitors ergonomic risk in real time to protect worker health. The platform supports both cloud and on-premise deployment and integrates with existing MES and ERP systems.
Retrocausal was co-founded by CEO Steve Rodda, President Zeeshan Zia (PhD, formerly of Microsoft HoloLens), CTO Quoc-Huy Tran (PhD, inventor on 20+ US patents, formerly of NEC driver assistance systems), and Chief Architect Andrey Konin (formerly of Amazon supply chain and Microsoft HoloLens). The company has raised a total of approximately $8.82 million, with a $5.3 million round led by Glasswing Ventures and joined by One Way Ventures, Indicator Ventures, Argon Ventures, Differential Ventures, Hypertherm Ventures, Techstars, and others.
The platform serves industries including automotive, medical devices, aerospace and defense, electronics, and appliances/hardware. Documented results include a 10% improvement in first-time yield and a 60% reduction in manual-assembly-related quality issues within two weeks of deployment. The company participated in the Techstars Seattle 2020 accelerator program.
