In a recent social media post, OpenAI CEO Sam Altman expressed his admiration for Cradlewise, a smart crib created by Indian entrepreneur Radhika Patil. Altman shared that, among the many baby products he and his partner bought, Cradlewise stood out for its genuine value, highlighting how it helped soothe their newborn son.
Cradlewise was founded in 2016 by Radhika and her husband, Bharath Patil, after they faced the common challenges of infant sleep as new parents. Recognizing the difficulty of getting their baby to sleep, the couple envisioned a crib that could respond to their child’s needs in real time. The result is a smart crib equipped with sensors that detect early signs of wakefulness, gently rocking the baby back to sleep. It also includes a baby monitor and music playback features for added convenience.
What sets Cradlewise apart from traditional cribs is its proactive approach to infant sleep. Powered by AI, the crib learns the baby’s sleep patterns over time and adjusts accordingly, providing a personalized sleep experience. This technology represents a significant step forward in baby products, blending innovation with design to offer both functionality and comfort.
Altman’s endorsement highlights the global potential of Cradlewise’s impact. As the company gains recognition, it shows how technology, when thoughtfully designed, can improve everyday life — in this case, enhancing infant sleep and supporting family well-being.
