Smilo.AI

What Smilo.AI does

Smilo.AI, operated by Oral Tech AI Pty Ltd (ACN 638 265 648) and headquartered in Brisbane, Australia, is an AI-native oral health platform that converts any smartphone into a clinical-grade dental screening tool. The company's core product uses proprietary computer vision models to analyse photographs of teeth, gums, and oral structures, detecting caries, plaque, gum disease, and misalignment without specialised hardware, and is registered as a TGA Level 1 medical device in Australia with HIPAA, GDPR, and Australian Privacy Principles compliance. The multimodal platform extends beyond image analysis to include a 24/7 conversational chatbot and voice-based AI receptionist agent (Smilo Voice), virtual dental consultations, longitudinal preventive remote monitoring with Green/Orange/Red risk scoring, digitised Oral Health Assessment Tool (OHAT) workflows for aged care compliance, smile simulation for cosmetic consultations, and chronic disease risk indicators linked to diabetes and cardiovascular conditions. AI models are trained on de-identified clinical data and validated through IRB-approved studies with multiple Australian and international universities, including University of Cincinnati, Western Sydney University, University of Sydney, and University of Southern Queensland.

The platform is delivered via a web application and a native mobile app distributed through Apple App Store and Google Play Store, with integration capability into dental practice management systems (e.g., Dental4Windows) deployable in under 15 minutes. Smilo.AI targets a diversified set of customer segments including dental practices and DSOs, aged care operators, disability/NDIS providers, health and dental insurers, oral care product companies (Sensodyne/GSK, Dabur), public health systems, schools and childcare centres, and individual patients. GTM is sales-led through Calendly demo booking, webinars, and direct outreach, supplemented by event-driven demand generation (e.g., June 2026 aged care webinar) and a product-led growth motion via the consumer-facing mobile app.

Revenue is generated primarily through B2B SaaS subscriptions on a quote-based model with a free first-month onboarding promotion, a freemium consumer mobile app that drives B2B2C referrals to partner practices, and usage-based Smilo Voice subscriptions sold in minute packages. The company has secured non-dilutive funding through Australian government research grants (ARIIA, NHMRC, MRFF) and notable brand partnerships, including a Guinness World Record event at Maha Kumbh 2025 with Sensodyne and participation in the Harvard Global Symposium on AI in Dentistry. Operations are primarily configured for Australia with an emerging presence in India via the app stores, while maintaining multi-country data residency capabilities for global deployment.

Revenue model

1. SaaS Platform Subscription (B2B): Smilo.ai operates primarily as a B2B SaaS platform targeting dental practices, DSOs, aged care providers, insurers, oral care product companies, and public health systems. The platform is offered via subscription with free first-month onboarding as a promotional offer. Pricing is quote-based, suggesting enterprise/mid-market annual or multi-year subscription contracts.
2. Consumer Mobile App (Patient-Facing): The Smilo.ai mobile app is available on Google Play Store and Apple App Store for direct consumer use. While the app itself is free for patients to download and use for self-screening, it drives referrals and bookings to partner dental practices — creating indirect B2B2C value.
3. Smilo Voice — AI Receptionist Agent: Smilo Voice, the AI-powered dental receptionist agent, is offered as a separate product/subscription. It is priced per minute package, with full onboarding, continuous automation, and ongoing assistance included. This represents a separate SaaS/minutes-based revenue stream.
