AURA (AI Unified Reception Assistant)

Aura (AI Unified Reception Assistant) is an intelligent, on-premises virtual receptionist designed to transform visitor management in high-security and customer-focused environments. Developed by the GrandpaBOST team in collaboration with NextWay Technology, Aura replaces traditional front desks with a secure, human-like AI assistant capable of delivering natural, real-time interactions.

At its core, Aura integrates advanced speech recognition, text-to-speech, and large language models (LLMs) with a realistic 3D avatar to create seamless conversational experiences. Visitors can check in, verify their identity, and gain building access through voice, facial recognition, and liveness detection—all processed locally to guarantee privacy, low latency, and compliance with data sovereignty.

Administrators benefit from a powerful yet user-friendly backend. The GUI-based workflow editor enables non-technical staff to customize interaction flows, while webhook integration allows instant synchronization with external systems such as access control, security monitoring, or logging platforms. An FAQ and document-based Q&A system ensure Aura can answer visitor queries with precision, reducing administrative workload.



Aura is designed for scalability, making it suitable for corporate offices, government institutions, hospitals, hotels, and event venues. By combining operational efficiency, robust security, and a personalized reception experience, Aura sets a new standard for AI-driven front-desk solutions.
