Features The assistant

Something to talk to, rather than something to shout at

A speaker in the corner answers questions. A face on the wall holds a conversation — it looks up when you speak, and its mouth moves with the words.

Uses AI credits, included with paid plans and topped up as needed.

A face that answers

Ten faces, one personality

Choose the character that suits the room: drifting motes of light, a translucent jellyfish, a classic mirror face, and more besides. Each has states — dormant, summoned, listening, thinking, speaking — so you can tell at a glance whether it heard you.

The lip-sync is driven by the speech itself rather than a loop, so the mouth matches what is actually being said.

It knows what it is showing

Because the assistant lives on the same screen as your calendar, photographs and art, it can answer questions about them. Ask what a painting is and it will tell you the artist, the year and where it came from.

Kept honest about cost

Conversation uses AI credits, metered per account and visible in the portal, so the bill is never a surprise. A screen with the assistant switched off costs nothing to run and still shows everything else.

Where people use it

Hands full in the kitchen

Set a timer, add to the shopping list or ask what is on this afternoon without touching anything.

A room that greets you

With presence enabled the face can look up and greet whoever walked in, by name.

Questions

Does it need a microphone?

Yes — a USB microphone or a camera with one built in. Without one, the face is still there and everything else works; it simply has nothing to listen to.

Is my voice recorded?

Speech is sent for recognition while a conversation is running and transcripts are visible to you in the portal, where you can delete them. Nothing is retained on the device.

Does it work without the internet?

No. The assistant needs to reach the service. Everything that does not require it — clock, calendar, photographs, Home Assistant — carries on regardless.
