Prepared

Assistive AI for 911 — live transcription, translation, and triage

Visit official site →

About

Prepared is an assistive AI platform that sits on top of existing 911 infrastructure, transcribing and translating calls live, flagging key cues like 'trapped' or 'fire,' and routing non-emergency calls to AI agents. It is live in 1,000+ centers across 49 states covering nearly 100 million people (company-reported), and raised an $80M Series C led by General Catalyst before its acquisition by Axon. Pricing is not published, transcription quality varies with audio conditions and accents, and the platform raises the usual questions around emergency-call recording and data retention.

  • Live two-way call translation
  • AI-generated call summaries
  • Automated non-emergency call triage
  • Key-cue flagging (e.g. trapped, injured, fire)
