We're building an AI computer for consumers, most of whom are quite hesitant with existing services due to privacy concerns and because of costs that add up when using various AI tools.
Stop the environmental damage of data centres by... Making extra hardware and moving inference to a less efficient area? This only makes sense if you're on off-grid solar.
How did they nail down a price but no specs? Very odd.
They're targetting people who want AI and will spend thousands, but don't know enough to ask _any_ details? Why wouldn't that audience just be on chatgpt?
The chat UI is duplicating the chatgpt/claude web chats, where you've got a list of chats on the left and each new thing you wanna do is expected to be a new chat, and maybe it has memories it writes to or can search chats to cross reference.
I've been using these things a bit differently lately, more of a personal assistant - probably more of the OpenClaw setup I'd guess, though I haven't used OpenClaw. I have my macbook running constantly and it has a session running for reach of my projects, plus one session called pa (personal assistant) which is set up to track tasks and to talk to all the other sessions.
The pa is the only session I directly interact with anymore. It's got it's own Signal account and a single Signal chat is the way I interact with all my sessions. Actually, there are a few sessions run on other machines too that it knows how to get to, but mostly it's just the per-project sessions on my macbook.
I think that's how I'm gonna want stuff like this to work - mostly in one single text thread that delegates to the others. The others don't have to be totally invisible, being able to drop into them individually would be fine as long as it doesn't interfere with the simplicity of the main thread.
Pretty cool idea. I'd love to see more about who the team is and how the open source models underneath it work and if they can be swapped out.
Wonder how much RAM

Really needs some details on what hardware is in there / what models it can run.
Yeah, I'd rather revamp a Steam machine, for which we know exact specs even pre-launch.
Pretty cool! Which models are you running locally? Can users pick/change between models?
No way I can put any money down without knowing the specs. Unless I am missing something, I didn't see anything on the homepage.

hm so it can be reached from anywhere outside, which is scary. It appears to have a speaker or open vent on top but no audio/voice/tts/stt capability?
If I had a device "all AI" for home, stt/tts would be my minimum requirement. Being able to reach it from outside, that's a negative mark for me.
What justifies the claim of being "the world's first personal AI computer"? There are many computers catering to local AI on the market.
Shipping Dec 2027... I don't know about you, but at the rate of current pace, I don't know what to expect at the end of 2027.

No specs. No examples of models it can run. No idea if any of the source will be available.
Basically vapourware.
This has to be a scam for normies to forget about the deposit they made by ship time.
This looks like it could be very useful for about 3 months. If you're lucky those 3 months will occur after it launches.
