AI agent phones are coming, eventually. OpenAI's version isn't shipping until 2028. The genuinely interesting hardware in this space is always a year or two out, locked to some new device you'd have to go buy.
We didn't want to wait for a new phone to exist. So we built a small piece of hardware that plugs into the phone or computer you already have.
What Aiden does
You connect it via USB, no app install required. Once connected, it sees the screen, hears your voice, and operates the device for you: navigating apps, sending messages, checking things, completing tasks, roughly the way a person would if they were sitting next to you holding your phone.
The goal isn't to replace your phone. It's to give any device you already own genuine agentic capability without waiting for a manufacturer to build it in.
The hardware, honestly
We're at dev-board stage. Early Access. Here's what's actually in it:
- MCU: RV1106G3, ARM Cortex-A7 at 1.2GHz
- RAM: 256MB
- NPU: 1 TOPS
- Connectivity: WiFi 6, BLE 5.x
- Battery: 1500mAh (~18 hours)
- Ports: USB-C, HDMI 1080p capture
- Storage: microSD up to 256GB
We're leading with "dev-board stage" on purpose. This is real hardware doing real work today, not a rendering of something coming eventually.
The firmware
Open source. Primarily Go, with C++ for hardware-level work and Python for tooling and benchmarks. Package management runs on OPKG/Entware. It has persistent memory across sessions, one-click switching between LLM/STT/TTS providers, and works across iPhone, Android, macOS, Windows, and Linux.
We ship real PR numbers and real architecture writeups, not polished announcement copy. Recent examples: the actual design behind coordinating a real-time voice model with a separate background task-execution agent without either blocking the other, and a firmware change enforcing that an acknowledgement from the agent is never treated as proof a task actually completed.
Where we sit next to everyone else doing this
- Rabbit R1 is probably the closest hardware form factor to what we're doing.
- Humane AI Pin is the cautionary tale worth knowing: discontinued, acquired by HP for $116M in 2025.
- Plaud Note overlaps in the efficiency-focused audience but does something genuinely different (capture, not execution).
- UiPath / Automation Anywhere sit at the enterprise RPA end of the spectrum. We're closer to the accessible, consumer-facing version of that idea.
- Android Accessibility + ADB scripts are the DIY route for anyone who'd rather build this themselves than buy hardware.
How to get involved
If you're into embedded systems, agent architecture, voice interfaces, or on-device AI, we want you looking at what we're doing and telling us where it's wrong. Some of our best fixes have come directly from people testing dev-board hardware and reporting back exactly what broke.
