Mental Engines is a deep‐tech AI company based in Jerusalem that develops AI engines designed to run efficiently on edge devices (e.g. drones, robots) using minimal data and standard CPU hardware rather than large neural networks on GPUs or cloud infrastructure. Their core technology, which they call Scenario-Based Reasoning (SBR), aims to reduce training data requirements, lower computational cost, and allow local inference—so devices can act more autonomously, with lower power and latency. Applications include robotics (copying human behaviors, individualizing behavior), autonomous drones, gaming (adaptive NPCs), plus potential extensions into e-commerce, digital health, education, etc. The company claims improvements in efficiency (up to ~90%) versus typical AI deployment costs/data burdens
