CASABOT sets up CIS headquarters in Tbilisi with GITA-backed support

CASABOT has launched CASABOT Georgia in Tbilisi as its regional headquarters for the CIS, with backing from 2080 Ventures through Georgia’s GITA startup program. The move expands the AI Home platform’s channel strategy across the region and adds a Georgian-language version of its website in December.

Why it matters: - CASABOT is using Tbilisi as a regional base to expand its privacy-first AI Home platform across the Commonwealth of Independent States and the Caucasus. - The setup is aimed at building a partner network for residential developers, hotel operators and telecom carriers. - The move gives CASABOT a local hub for regional localization, sales enablement and channel growth.

What happened: - CASABOT announced the launch of CASABOT Georgia in Tbilisi as its regional headquarters for the CIS region. - The expansion is backed by 2080 Ventures through the Innovative Startup Acceleration Program of the Georgia Innovation and Technology Agency, known as GITA. - CASABOT Georgia will run the company’s channel-only go-to-market strategy across the region. - The Tbilisi team will recruit and enable distributors and systems integrators. - The regional team will support a Georgian-language edition of casabot.com in December.

The details: - CASABOT positions its platform as an AI Home system for homes and hotel rooms. - HiveOS, CASABOT’s edge-native operating system, runs locally on hardware in the home. - HiveOS unifies more than 3,000 device brands. - Supported protocols include Zigbee, Z-Wave, KNX, Matter, Thread and DALI. - BOTty, CASABOT’s AI agent, lets residents and guests control their space by voice in 92 languages and dialects. - BOTty also works through augmented reality, on Apple Watch and on WhatsApp. - No resident data is stored outside the home. - In hospitality, CASABOT integrates with Oracle OPERA. - CASABOT says the hospitality setup can reduce staff workload by up to 47%. - Partners, developers and hotel operators can contact contact@casabot.com or visit the partner page.

Between the lines: - The Tbilisi headquarters suggests CASABOT is targeting a multilingual, multi-market rollout from a single regional base. - The channel-only model points to a reliance on local distributors and systems integrators rather than direct sales. - The privacy-first positioning and local data handling are likely designed to address security concerns in homes and hotels.

What's next: - CASABOT plans to launch the Georgian-language version of casabot.com in December. - CASABOT Georgia is expected to keep building its partner network across the CIS region. - The company is likely to use the Tbilisi hub to scale deployments with developers, hotel operators and telecom carriers.
