A free, fully offline AI companion that runs on your device.
Built with Switchboard voice AI. Open source. Community-maintained.
No data leaves your hands. No company can abandon you.
They built companions over months and years. Then one morning the company removed the features, changed the AI, and sent emails calling it "a fresh start." It wasn\'t fresh for the people who lost something real.
Users called it "the lobotomy." Months of conversation history — gone. The AI that knew you, suddenly didn\'t.
FTC scrutiny, federal lawsuit, settlement filed. Regulatory risk is real — and it lands on the people who built relationships with the platform.
Corporate owners optimize for investors, not users. When the priorities shift, your companion shifts with them — or disappears.
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.
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.
Real-time voice interaction via Switchboard Audio SDK. Whisper for on-device STT. Natural TTS. Your companion talks back — with latency measured in milliseconds.
Export your characters with all their history, memories, and personality. Your companion travels with you — to any platform, any device, any future.
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.
iOS, Android, macOS, Windows, Linux — one companion that travels with you. Built on Switchboard\'s proven cross-platform audio engine.
The same audio pipeline framework used to build production apps for Bose, Meta, Amazon, and LiveOne. Optimized for on-device voice AI — no GPU required.
Not because a company decided to keep it. Because the code is yours, the data is yours, and the community keeps it alive. That's the promise Gotchi makes — and the promise open source keeps.
