An open source toolkit for AI in the home

November 29, 2025

An open reference hardware and software kit to bring personalised SOTA AI into people’s homes. Building a toolkit of hardware, software and beautifully crafted industrial design, enabling AI enthusiasts and electronics hobbyists to assemble a compelling piece of home-hardware that people actually would like to use.

Hardware Kit

Made from either finished wood or aluminium, the device will fit into any home. Holding all hardware components the 3D printed core in a stark, contrasting colour can easily be inserted into the housing, completing the simple, 2-component design.

Case variants released in drops are exchangeable around a unified core that holds the electronics.

Software

The software experience is built around flexibility and clarity. Users define custom contexts and personalities through simple prompts in the app, shaping how the device behaves. Without a screen, feedback is handled through each user’s phone, using speaker recognition to deliver the right responses and surfacing visuals directly on the lock screen when needed.
