That Hyperactive Speaker.
Not an Alexa. Not a Google Home. Not a phone. A dedicated AI companion you switch on and talk to — and you pick its brain. Literally.
01 · The core idea
A device, not another app.
Every unit ships ready to talk — no phone, no laptop, no setup marathon. Switch it on and it's already connected.
- Built-in SIM card
- Microphone + speaker
- Optional small display
- Battery
- Always-on connectivity
02 · The killer feature
You choose the brain.
Picked at checkout, like a Netflix profile. The hardware stays the same — the intelligence is yours to swap.
Option AGPT
Option BClaude
Option CGemini
Option DLocal / open-source
Same shell. Different soul.
03 · One device, many modes
Founder mode
- “Read my emails.”
- “What's important today?”
- “Call me when something urgent lands.”
Family mode
- “Did Abhileen call?”
- “Read my WhatsApp.”
- “Book my doctor's appointment.”
Elderly mode
- “Time to take your medicine.”
- “Call my son.”
- “What did the doctor say?”
Memory mode
- Remembers your people, stories, and tasks.
- A physical embodiment of your second brain.
- “Jia, what am I forgetting?”
04 · The form factor
iPod-small. One button. Works on its own.
- iPod-sized, one button
- Speaker + microphone
- Camera + tiny screen
- Built-in cellular (SIM)
- All-day battery
- Works solo after a one-time setup
Press the button: “Jia, what am I forgetting?” — and it answers with context from your life.
05 · The model
Priced like telecom, not like an app.
Most AI startups sell App → AI → subscription. This is Hardware → SIM → AI subscription — recurring revenue from:
- Connectivity (the SIM)
- LLM usage
- Premium voices
- Memory storage
People don't want another app. They want another person.
