Small machines with a bit of life in them.
Desk-sized robots and AI hardware, built in small batches. Each one is customised from this site — plug it into your computer, open a page, change how it behaves. No app to install, no account, and nothing about your device is uploaded anywhere.
Products
More are on the way. This page is where each one gets its setup.
Eyes — a desk companion
A pair of eyes on a small screen that live their own day: curious, playful, bored, drowsy, then a nap. Thirty-three behaviours, its own quiet voice, a colour light, and no buttons to press. Customise its eyes, its words and its light here.
Also as a Loaf Cat (AU$30): the same eyes and customiser, without the colour light.
Yeti — a companion that listens
A small printed yeti with the same eyes, plus a microphone. Say “hey yeti” and it listens for a command — recognised on the device itself, so nothing is recorded and nothing leaves the cable. Colours, light shows, the time, and five words that are yours to assign. Customise it here.
More coming
Other small robots and AI modules are in progress. Anything that plugs in will be set up from this page, the same way.
How customising works
The same four steps for every product here.
- Plug it inUse the USB cable. There is no Bluetooth, no Wi-Fi and no pairing — the cable is the whole connection.
- Open its page in Chrome or EdgeOn a Windows, Mac or Linux computer. Your browser asks permission to talk to the device, and you pick it from a list.
- Change things and watchEvery change happens on the device immediately, in front of you. Nothing is guessed from a preview.
- Press saveThe settings are written into the device's own memory, so they survive unplugging. Until you press save, nothing is permanent.
Your settings never reach our servers. The page runs in your browser and writes straight down the USB cable — we only serve the page itself.
