Samoza Research builds the operating system, runtime, and language for programmable space — turning corridors, campuses, and cities into computational substrate that humans and AI can author together.
Every building, corridor, and sidewalk is full of smart devices — yet the space between them has no computational existence. We're changing that.
We extend the software-defined paradigm — proven in networking and storage — across the digital–physical boundary. Physical environments become artifacts of code, not concrete.
Unlike IoT, Samoza gives every square foot a computational identity — whether or not a sensor occupies it. Devices participate in space; they don't define it.
Reconfigure a corridor for rush hour. Overlay emergency routing on a campus. Deploy agentic intelligence to a flood zone. No crews, no cones — just code.
Samoza OS gives physical space a computational identity. Every square foot becomes addressable, programmable, and governable — so what a space does is an artifact of software, not structure.
Samoza OS turns any physical environment into a programmable substrate. Here's how that changes industries.
Today's factory floors are mazes of fixed zones and hardcoded safety perimeters. Samoza gives every square meter a programmable identity — so the floor reconfigures for new product lines, shift changes, and safety incidents through code, not construction.
A coffee shop, a clinic, a co-working space — each is a small physical world with zones, flows, and rules. Samoza gives small businesses an agentic spatial OS: an AI that understands your floor plan, manages queues, adjusts lighting, governs delivery robot access.
What if the game world and the physical world shared the same operating system? Samoza turns real rooms, parks, and arenas into programmable game boards — capture-the-zone, territory defense, AR treasure hunts where rules and boundaries are programmable regions.
A refinery is millions of square feet of hazard zones, exclusion perimeters, and access tiers that change with every maintenance window. Samoza replaces static safety maps with programmable spatial governance: hazard zones expand and contract in real time, worker clearance is enforced per-zone.
Peak season hits and your warehouse layout is wrong. With Samoza, the floor is software: picking zones expand, staging areas shift, robot corridors reroute — all through spatial reconfiguration. No tape on the floor, no weekend rebuilds.
Construction sites are the most dynamic physical spaces on Earth — zones change daily, heavy equipment shares space with workers, and safety perimeters are drawn in dirt. Samoza gives the site a living spatial model: crane exclusion zones follow the boom in real time.
An ER surge, an infection outbreak, a VIP visit — each demands the hospital to instantly reorganize its spaces. Samoza turns hallways, wards, and ORs into programmable regions: isolation zones deploy through software, robot delivery corridors adapt to real-time foot traffic.
An airport tarmac is a high-stakes spatial coordination problem: aircraft, tugs, fuel trucks, baggage carts, and ground crew all contest the same stretches of pavement. Samoza governs the apron as a programmable spatial model.
A thousand-acre farm is a spatial operating system waiting to happen. Samoza maps fields at fine resolution: irrigation zones, pesticide exclusion perimeters, and harvest corridors become programmable regions. Drones and ground sensors all participate in a single spatial model.
When disaster strikes, responders arrive to a space with no shared model. Samoza deploys a spatial OS over the crisis zone in minutes: search grids become governed regions, exclusion perimeters enforce themselves, and every responder's authority is scoped to their assigned zones.
Samoza Research is a deep-tech startup pioneering spatial operating systems — the foundational software layer that gives physical space a computational identity.
Our work extends the software-defined paradigm from networks and storage into the physical world, enabling environments to be governed, reconfigured, and reasoned about entirely through program.
We build two products in service of that mission: Samoza OS — the runtime that turns a building, factory, or campus into a programmable substrate; and Anglish — the open language that lets humans and AI co-author what runs on it.

Samoza programs space.
// remove a device — the space persists.
// space has computational identity.
We're looking for research partners, early adopters, and investors who share our vision of programmable physical spaces.
