“I wanted AI that makes you more productive instead of pulling you into a screen — just ask, get an answer, get back to it.”

Why a device, not a phone
Four reasons to put the phone down.
Your phone can technically do most of this. A device built for it does it without making you find, unlock, and fall into your phone first.
01
Always ready, hands-free
A dedicated mic that’s listening from across the room. Say “Arch” with flour on your hands — no device to find, unlock, or hold.
On a phone: dig it out, unlock it, hold it up.
02
One thing at a time
A dedicated screen with no notifications, no feed, no app to open. You ask, you get an answer, you leave.
On a phone: open the app, dodge the badges, get pulled into a scroll.
03
Built for voice, not retrofitted
Modes, walkthroughs, and briefings designed voice-first from day one — not a chat app with a microphone bolted on.
On a phone: a chat window with a mic button.
04
Private by default
Wake word runs on-device. Audio is transcribed in real time and discarded — no stored recordings, no ads, no profile built from your questions.
On a phone: an account quietly logging what you ask.
Things you can say
Press the button. Ask out loud.
Each mode has its own voice and tools. Tap a card to hear a real exchange.

What it does
Eleven reasons, one device.
Not a feature dump — every capability is more reason not to reach for your phone. The tags show which of the four it earns you.
Voice walkthroughs
Upload a recipe, IKEA manual, repair guide, or post-op plan. ArchAI reads each step aloud and waits for “next.” Ask a question mid-step and it answers without losing your place.
No distractionsAlways readyVoice-first
Personal knowledge base
Upload documents, PDFs, notes — or snap a photo of anything. Claude vision reads images and diagrams, then answers from your own files, out loud.
Voice-firstPrivate
Modes
Assistant, Financial (voice trading), and Arch (reflection). Persona and tool set switch by voice.
Voice-first
Daily briefings
A spoken morning recap of calendar, weather, news, and tasks — now with holiday and liturgical-season awareness. Pick your time.
Always readyNo distractions
Claude Code on your Mac
Voice your laptop into real work. “Ask Claude to add a dark-mode toggle” runs inside Claude Code on your Mac — you hear the result. Scoped per-repo with a denylist and cost ceiling.
Voice-firstAlways ready
Long-term memory
Remembers your name, goals, and preferences across conversations — so you never re-explain yourself.
Voice-firstPrivate
Reminders by voice
“Remind me to call Mom Saturday morning.” Fires on the device or your phone.
Always readyNo distractions
Lists by voice
“Add milk to my grocery list.” “What’s on my to-do list?” Build and check off shopping, to-do, and packing lists without lifting a finger.
Always readyNo distractions
Smart home control
Lights, thermostat, and locks through Home Assistant or any MCP server.
Always readyVoice-first
Kid-safe mode
Content guardrails plus a parent PIN. Safe to hand to a five-year-old.
No distractionsPrivate
Per-device security
Production-grade per-device certificates, provisioned automatically over BLE on first pair — no shared secret. Wake word stays on-device; audio is never stored.

Financial
Markets, portfolio & trades, by voice
Live portfolio check-ins and real trades through your linked brokerage account. Optional passphrase on every order.
Arch
A quieter kind of assistant
