What you get

Built the way AI should work

Offline. Always.

ASR, LLM, and TTS all run on your device. No internet required. No data sent to the cloud. Your conversations stay between you and your companion — literally.

Open Source

The code lives on GitHub. The community maintains it. No single company can kill it, pivot it, or sell it. If we disappear tomorrow, you keep building.

Voice-ready

Real-time voice interaction via Switchboard Audio SDK. Whisper for on-device STT. Natural TTS. Your companion talks back — with latency measured in milliseconds.

Character portability

Export your characters with all their history, memories, and personality. Your companion travels with you — to any platform, any device, any future.

Build in public

We don't build until we know people want it. 10,000 signups and we ship. Follow the progress, join the community, shape what gets built.

Cross-platform

iOS, Android, macOS, Windows, Linux — one companion that travels with you. Built on Switchboard's proven cross-platform audio engine.
