What they do

Problem

People waste time and mental load on routine phone tasks like sending follow-ups, booking appointments, and replying across apps.

Solution

A USB-C dongle and iPhone app that lets you speak requests while it controls your phone to complete actions in any app hands-free.

Who it's for

iPhone users who want an assistant to execute everyday tasks across their apps without touching the phone.

Founders

Omar Abdelaziz
Founder

I've spent more than a half-decade leading teams on Google Assistant and at Scale AI, and hold one of the world's first patents in LLM-based computer-use. Now, I'm on to defining the next era of computing, starting with a 100x more powerful voice assistant.

Farhan Hossain
Founder

I’m a robotics and product design engineer focused on building thoughtful tools for the world. I hold dozens of patents in hardware and manufacturing, and I care deeply about how things are made and who they’re made for. For over a decade, I’ve worked across robotics, wearables, and consumer electronics. As one of the first engineers on the Apple Vision Pro, I took it from concept to mass production.

Peter Krogh
Founder

I teach computers how to talk. For 20 years this was primarily a deterministic process of design/engineer/tune, but with the arrival of LLMs it now looks more like show/convince/tune. AI is weird, but if it can't be taught how to have a normal spoken conversation with a person, it's not going to work. This is what I work on.
