ShimmerAI uses patented AI to automatically balance color, intensity, and 3-point lighting across any Matter-compatible smart bulb. Movie quality. Creator price.
ShimmerAI pioneered intelligent multi-point lighting with custom PCBs and AI-driven sensors. Now, the Matter smart home framework opens a new ecosystem of affordable, high-quality bulbs — and our patented technology runs entirely as an app.
No expensive proprietary hardware. Drop in Matter-compatible bulbs, open the app, and ShimmerAI does the rest automatically.
Our patented system does in milliseconds what takes a professional gaffer hours on a movie set.
Continuously measures ambient light and adjusts output for studio-quality brightness — no blown highlights, no dark shadows on your face.
Reads your room's color profile and adapts each bulb's Kelvin output to avoid color conflicts that erode skin tones on camera.
Key, fill, and hair lights coordinate intelligently. Each instrument knows its role and adjusts relative to the others — exactly like a pro film set.
Patented video analysis feeds real-time data into the AI engine, so the system reacts to your actual on-screen image — not just sensor readings.
Knows how far you are from each light source and compensates automatically. Move around and your look stays consistent.
Built on the open Matter standard — your bulbs also work with Apple Home, Google Home, and Amazon Alexa alongside the ShimmerAI app.
ShimmerAI ships with a library of pre-loaded professional lighting techniques — the same setups used on film sets, broadcast studios, and pro content stages. Pick a look in the app and the AI instantly reconfigures all three lights to match it, perfectly calibrated to your space.
No trial and error. No color wheels. No hiring a gaffer. Just tap the look you want and your bulbs do the rest.
More looks added with every update. The ShimmerAI library grows over time — subscribers get new professional presets pushed to their app automatically, including looks curated by working cinematographers.
Designed for creators, not cinematographers. No lighting degree required.
Choose a ShimmerAI starter or pro kit. We curate Matter-compatible bulbs optimized for our AI and ship them directly to you.
Install ShimmerAI on iOS or Android. The app walks you through bulb placement and connects instantly over Matter.
Open your camera, hit record, and ShimmerAI runs in the background keeping your lighting perfectly balanced throughout.
