As AI reshapes everything from content creation to robotics, one emerging frontier is closer to home: the very air inside our living spaces.

Ruishu Technology (Beijing) Co., Ltd, an AI-centric startup incubated by smart appliance innovator MOVA, announced today that it has secured a multi-million-dollar seed round led by Skyworks Venture Capital, alongside several strategic investors.

The capital infusion is earmarked to accelerate the development of what the company calls an “Environmental Intelligence Agent” (EIA) — an autonomous, AI-centric ecosystem designed to manage entire indoor environments around human health and comfort.

The raise underscores a broader trend in hardware startups: positioning themselves less as device makers and more as data-driven ecosystem builders.

This evolution mirrors a growing industry consensus: the real watershed in AI integration is no longer the use of isolated tools, but the seamless embedding of AI into core workflows to systematically enhance life quality.

From Air Purifiers to Adaptive Environments

While Ruishu was spun off from MOVA, it operates as an independent entity with a dedicated business and R&D team.

The company has already gained international traction with its Stellar X10 and Zeno Z10 series, which were showcased at premier global technology events including CES 2026 and IFA 2025. Leveraging MOVA’s global distribution network, Ruishu products are currently scaling across Europe and the Asia-Pacific markets.

However, Ruishu’s ambitions extend far beyond traditional hardware sales.

“Our long-term goal is not simply to sell air purifiers and other home environmental appliances,” says Yue Yue, CEO of Ruishu Technology. “We are evolving toward whole-home environmental management, ultimately aiming to deliver personalized health outcomes.”

This vision gained massive public validation during the 2026 Lunar New Year. Leveraging MOVA‘s collaboration with China Central Television’s (CCTV) Spring Festival Gala, Ruishu’s flagship MOVA Zeno Z10 demonstrated its capabilities to hundreds of millions of viewers, positioning the device alongside humanoid robots and other advanced consumer technologies.

Shifting Consumer Priorities

Recent consumer research by McKinsey & Company indicates that over 60% of homeowners in developed markets now prioritize wellness and air quality as key purchasing criteria for smart home devices — an increase of nearly 25 percentage points over the past five years. Furthermore, IDC reports that AI-enabled consumer devices — including smart appliances and environmental sensors — saw more than 30% year-over-year growth in 2025, outpacing general IoT device shipments.

These shifts underscore a deeper transformation in how people think about indoor environments: no longer simply as places to live, but as ecosystems that can proactively support health, comfort, and lifestyle preferences.

Software as the Core Value Layer

Unlike traditional appliance makers that compete primarily on price and technical specifications, Ruishu is targeting the global mid-to-high-end market with a scenario-driven design philosophy. Its devices are engineered to detect indoor air conditions and a user’s precise location, delivering precision-targeted purification. Airflow intensity and direction adjust autonomously based on real-time environmental data and physiological indicators.

The company is currently perfecting a whole-indoor environmental mapping capability that allows devices to create dynamic, room-level air quality models — a feature expected to reach full commercialization within the next year.

In the Stellar X10 series, Ruishu introduced its proprietary “Planet ID” interface — a visual system that transforms complex PM2.5, temperature, and humidity data into audio-visual, intuitive graphics. Over time, Ruishu expects software-driven services — including environmental analytics, AI-led optimization, and adaptive automation — to form the foundation of a recurring software revenue layer.

This approach mirrors a broader transformation in consumer technology: value is increasingly shifting from the hardware chassis to the intelligence layer that connects and coordinates the ecosystem.

The “Environmental Intelligence Agent” Vision

At the center of Ruishu’s strategy is the Environmental Intelligence Agent (EIA), a system designed to bridge air purifiers with other home devices such as fans, humidifiers, and dehumidifiers.

Instead of manual adjustments, users rely on a coordinated system that autonomously optimizes air quality and airflow based on temporal patterns, spatial layouts, and behavioral data. Yue describes EIA as the long-term direction of environmental appliances.

“Through multimodal sensors, the system collects environmental context and dynamically schedules devices to work collaboratively,” Yue explains. “It represents a shift from reactive control to proactive environmental adaptation.”

Data: The Competitive Moat — and Challenge

Building such a sophisticated system requires a robust environmental data foundation. Ruishu has partnered with a U.S.-based allergen data corporation to supplement its model training datasets. However, Yue acknowledges that assembling comprehensive, in-depth environmental data remains the company's most significant strategic challenge.

Over the next five years, Ruishu plans to execute a three-stage roadmap to mature its EIA technology, with the ultimate aim of delivering context-aware solutions tailored to individual users.

As consumers increasingly prioritize wellness and AI-driven personalization, environmental appliances are beginning to resemble health-tech platforms rather than standalone machines. The shift marks a broader evolution in the smart home sector: while the first wave focused on connectivity, the second wave — led by players like Ruishu — is focused on autonomy.

Ruishu Technology is an AI-driven environmental appliance startup incubated by MOVA, focused on integrating intelligent software with climate-control hardware.
