The AI companion that lives for music.
It has a face, a personality, and serious stereo sound. Ask for a song, a story, or just say hey — it listens, answers back, and plays. Simple enough for a five-year-old, satisfying enough for the biggest music nerd in the house — and not one byte of anyone's voice ever leaves the device.

Local AI processing. Your voice never leaves the room.
Every smart speaker you've owned sends what you say to a datacenter to understand it. This one doesn't — the listening, the understanding and the answering all happen on a neural chip inside the speaker. Cut the internet and see what changes.
Being honest: streaming services and software updates need internet, the same as anything else. The listening doesn't — and that's the part that has always been sent away.
Physics, not policy
A privacy policy is a promise that can be rewritten after you've bought the thing. A device with no path from your microphone to a server can't leak what it never sent.
A switch, not a setting
There's a physical switch that cuts power to the microphones. Not a menu item, not a toggle in an app — a hardware break in the circuit, and the face shows you it's off.
What do you want to know?
Skip to the part you care about.
How it actually works
What it plays, how a child uses it without an adult, and why it's safe to leave in a kid's room.
For the curious →What happens when the servers die
Why this one keeps working the day the company behind it stops existing — and what we're willing to put in writing.
It's real. Watch the prototype.
Our working lab unit — listening and answering with every word processed on the device itself.
Filmed on our engineering prototype, August 2026, in a development shell — the final product will look like the concept design above. Sound is the device's own.
A companion, not a terminal.
Assistants wait for commands and read you the weather. This is a character built around the thing you actually use a speaker for.
It has a personality
An expressive animated face that reacts to the music, to your voice, to the moment. Switchable characters, moods, and a pixel face you can make your own. Not a gadget on standby — company.
A serious speaker first
True stereo from two full-range drivers, tuned for rooms rather than desk drawers. The music never depends on the AI being clever.
Take it with you
Battery inside, so it moves — kitchen, balcony, back seat, beach. No socket and no router needed: your library and Bluetooth work anywhere, so the music and the character come along for the trip.
Why doesn't this exist already?
Every neighbour product gets two of the three right, then stops.
Smart speakers
Great audio, zero soul — and every word goes to a datacenter.
Cloud terminalsDesktop robot pets
Adorable characters that can't fill a room with sound.
No real audioKids' audio boxes
Loved by millions of families — and deliberately dumb, by design.
No intelligenceThis
Real audio, real character and real on-device AI, in one object.
The intersectionIt's in a mood. On purpose.
The face isn't decoration — it's how you know what's going on. Every state has a name, a face and a sound, so you can read it across the room without squinting at a status light.
It never bricks.
You've watched beloved robots and speakers die the day their maker's servers went dark. Ours can't — the intelligence lives in the device. If every server on Earth disappeared tomorrow, it keeps working as a full speaker with local voice control. We'll put that in writing with a public end-of-life firmware commitment.
One companion, five years old to fifty.
For a five-year-old
The storyteller that plays their favourite song on request — no screen, no app, no adult required. Child-safe volume, time limits, and no open-ended chatbot behaviour, designed under the EU's strictest toy-safety and AI rules from day one.
For you
The desk companion that DJs your afternoon and keeps you company without keeping records. Bluetooth from any device, your own library, and a character that's genuinely good company rather than a novelty that wears off in a week.
We've sold companion robots for four years. We know what breaks.
Built by the team behind RobotShop.ro, shipping and supporting companion robots across 24 EU countries since 2022. We've seen what bores people by week three, what parents return, and what gets genuinely loved. This is our answer.
Questions you'll probably ask
What does it play?
Your own music library and anything you send it over Bluetooth from any phone or computer — that works forever, offline, guaranteed. Additional music sources are being explored for launch; we'll only promise what we've secured.
When can I get one?
Beta program first, launch expected 2027. The queue is first-come, first-served, and queue members get the early-bird price.
Is joining the queue a purchase?
No. It's free, no payment details, no obligation. You're reserving a place in line and you'll hear from us before anyone else.
What happens if your company disappears?
The device keeps working — music, Bluetooth and local voice control all run on the device itself, not on our servers. We're committing to a public end-of-life firmware release as a matter of policy.
Is my voice really private?
Wake word and speech recognition run on a neural processor inside the speaker. Raw audio is never sent to any server — there's nothing to leak, subpoena or train on. Plus a hardware switch that physically cuts the microphones.
