What We Build

AI That Feels Human

The Story

Four Decades of Building
Things That Didn't Exist Yet

AI and Men was founded by Frank Martino — a self-taught software engineer, hardware designer, and hospitality entrepreneur.

SkyMap (1980)

One of the first GPS navigation platforms. Featured on the inside cover of GPS World magazine. PC-104 circuit boards with Ampro. Heads-up displays, Ball Aerospace antennas, platforms from Magellan, Garmin, Rockwell, and Trimble.

Voss Systems

A tabletop communication device that let restaurant guests speak to the kitchen or connect with other tables across the country — years before tablets and smartphones existed. Elo touchscreens, thermal printers, voice-first self-service.

The Commons 1854

A five-star wedding and event venue in Topsfield, Massachusetts. 29 years in business. 20 consecutive WeddingWire Couples Choice Awards. 300+ five-star reviews. In-house gourmet catering. One wedding per day.

Machines and Man (2026)

The culmination of four decades. Voice AI concierges, computer vision, custom kiosks, real-time web search, vendor calling, and complete business automation — built by a man who's been doing this since before the internet existed.
