Colibri Interfaces develops advanced assistive communication technologies that give autonomy back to people with severe motor and speech disabilities. Its flagship product, Conversia, is a next-generation multimodal communicator that transforms subtle head movements, facial gestures, and eye-tracking into speech, text, and full digital interaction. By combining image recognition, AI prediction, symbol-based communication, and personalised voice cloning, Conversia enables users who cannot speak or move to express themselves naturally, participate in school and work, and regain social connection. Unlike existing devices, Conversia is designed to be affordable, scalable, yet deeply personalised. Colibri’s user-centred, co-design approach with individuals, families, therapists, and educators ensures real-world usability and high adoption. In addition to Conversia, the company develops complementary solutions such as the Colibri Head Mouse and the Expressia Augmentative and Alternative Communication (AAC) platform, forming a complete ecosystem of communication and accessibility tools.

Colibri Interfaces began by transforming accessibility in Brazil, where Conversia is already used in homes, schools, rehabilitation centres, and public institutions. The company also offers the Colibri Head Mouse and the Expressia AAC platform, adopted by more than 60,000 users and hundreds of rehabilitation professionals. With a multidisciplinary team encompassing engineers, occupational therapists and speech-language pathologists, Colibri is capitalising on consistent revenue growth and a strong market demand to prepare for international expansion into Europe and Latin America. The aim of this international expansion is to democratise access to next-generation assistive communication technologies.
