AI that acts, not just answers.

Real-world senses for your AI agent.

IPHIPI turns wearables into always-on ears for AI, capturing conversations, sounds and context around you and feeding them to the AI agent on your phone, ready to take action.

The problem

Your AI lives in your apps. Your life doesn't.

Today's AI agents only see what's been typed or logged: your inbox, your calendar, your docs. But the moments that matter happen off-screen: the hallway commitment, the client meeting, the decision made over coffee. Your agent never hears them.

In your apps

Your inbox, calendar and docs

Only what's been typed or logged.

Off-screen

The moments that matter

The hallway commitment, the client meeting, the decision made over coffee.

The smartest agent in the world wasn't in the room. IPHIPI is.

From heard to done, before you ask.

An always-on IPHIPI wearable hears what happens, and the agent acts on it: no unlocking, no typing, no prompt.

Heard

"I'll send the quote by Friday."

Done

Drafts the email, blocks time on Thursday, and nudges you before the deadline.

Heard

An airport gate change is announced while your music is playing.

Done

Picks up the announcement, pauses your audio, and alerts you with the new gate.

Heard

"Pick the kids up at 4, not 5. And we're out of milk."

Done

Updates the pickup time, adds milk to the shopping list, and reminds you on the way home.

The difference isn't a smarter model. It's that IPHIPI was there.

Why it's hard

Anyone can call an AI model. Making a wearable hear and act all day is the hard part.

Power

Always-on listening runs at a few milliwatts on the earbud chip, so it never wakes the phone or drains the battery.

Noise & wearer isolation

The AI-Mic stack locks onto your voice in wind, crowds and transit and separates it from bystanders.

Host sync & bandwidth

Context is distilled on the wearable and only what matters syncs to the phone. Nothing streams raw, and it works offline.

Context, not transcripts

What's heard becomes commitments of people's intent, so the agent knows what to do, not just what was said.

Privacy by design

Processing and your personal profile stay on the device. Always-on never means always-recording.

Ship an always-on action agent in months, not years.

Wearable SDK

Micro-agents and AI-Mic firmware for earbuds, open-ear, glasses, rings and pendants, tuned to your silicon.

Action Agent SDK

The on-device agent, personal profile, trust tiers and connectors, embedded in your app or a super app.

Ready-made agents

Meeting notes, translation, video guide, health coach and more, under your own name and wake word.

Reference designs & support

Certified designs, dev kits, integration engineering and over-the-air updates.

Only when needed

Across all tiers: an open MCP layer connects your tools and services, and every request routes to the cheapest capable tier.

AI-Mic stack

Delivered as firmware and SDK, running on-device with no cloud round-trip, dropping into standard designs.

Interfering talker

Locks onto the wearer, pushes down nearby voices.

Wind, outdoors and on the move

Stable while walking, running, cycling.

Subway, transit and cabin

Rumble, drone, hiss and PA announcements suppressed.

Crowds, loud music

And everyday cafe, office and commute noise.

What the sensors capture

More than voice: context.

IPHIPI · Sensor fusionSense · Mics and sensors
Sense

Two mics per earbud, plus motion, camera, location and health sensors depending on the device.

Wearer voice

What you said and committed to do.

Other speakers

Who you spoke to, and about what.

Ambient & scene

Three ways an action starts

  • You askWith your own wake word ("Hi [Brand]").
  • Context triggerA place, time, person or activity.
  • Follow-throughA promise or decision heard in conversation.

Trust tiers

  • Just do itReversible, low-risk: notes, reminders, to-dos, ANC mode, music.
  • Confirm firstAnything that speaks or commits for you: messages, emails, invites, bookings.
  • Only when askedMoney, deletion, public posts, location sharing.

Backed by an undo window, an action log, and per-app permissions.

Model-agnostic

Your model choice stays open.

Run the AI you choose: swappable, self-hostable small models on the device, and frontier models in the cloud where they add value. IPHIPI is complementary to the labs, never a competitor, so you're not locked in or betting on which lab wins.

What you integrate

Wearable SDK & firmware

Micro-agents for wake word, wearer voice, noise, wind and echo suppression, and sensor fusion.

Action Agent SDK

On-device ASR and small model, personal profile, action connectors, trust tiers and MCP layer.

Silicon enablement

Micro-agents and action-agent workloads tuned for partner NPUs and DSPs, with reference designs.

Platform & backend

For partners

Take your agent beyond the phone, and reach more users.

Ship an always-on AI action agent under your own name, on your hardware, in your app or on your silicon, without building an edge-AI stack.

Four partner types

Device makers

A reason to buy beyond the spec sheet: an action agent under your own name and wake word, edge micro-agents tuned to your hardware, certified reference designs, and new recurring revenue.

AI-native device builders

The one job a phone can't do: real-world senses, wake-by-name, and on-device actions that work with the phone in a pocket. No audio-ML or agent stack to build.

Super apps & AI apps

Reach users outside the phone OS: your agent on any IPHIPI-powered wearable via the Action Agent SDK, fed real-world context the OS assistant never sees. Your model, your brand, your user.

AI chip vendors

Workloads that show off low-power, always-on AI: pre-optimized micro-agents and action-agent workloads for your NPUs, reference designs, and a faster path for your OEM customers.

From hardware sale to relationship

Traditional economics

One-time hardware margin, price-driven competition, spec-sheet parity, no relationship after the sale.

Agentic AI economics

Recurring revenue on top of hardware, demo-able differentiation, premium positioning, and an ongoing relationship to upsell, retain and learn from usage.

What a brand gains
New revenue

Subscription on premium agents, or a higher-margin "Pro" or "AI Edition" SKU.

Differentiation

A live, demo-able feature, not another spec-sheet bullet.

Segment expansion

Each agent targets a different buyer from one device.

Lower R&D risk

Ships in months, not a multi-year in-house build.

Retention

Once users rely on the experience, switching brands means losing it.

How partnering works
Phase 1

Component license: proven on-device stack plus one or two flagship agents, fast to market.

Phase 2

Premium agents as a paid tier once volume and reliability are proven.

Phase 3

Open the platform to more agents and third-party developers.

Core, Agent and Pro tiers, by product line.

"But we already use ChatGPT or Claude"

"Our engineers can wire up OpenAI or Anthropic themselves. Why do we need IPHIPI?"

Those APIs give you a brilliant agent, but one that lives in your apps and only sees what's already digitized. It wasn't in the meeting, didn't hear the hallway conversation, and has no context from the user's real day. IPHIPI is the always-on, on-device layer that captures that real-world context reliably (in noise and wind, on the move, at milliwatts) and feeds it to whatever model you run. That capture, context and orchestration layer is not something an LLM API provides, and building it in-house is a multi-year effort per form factor.

Why now

The category is here. The open space is empty.

2026 proved the always-on action agent: the largest platforms launched agents and devices of their own, each built for its own hardware and ecosystem. Everyone else now needs an agent they control, and the open, on-device space for wearables is largely empty. That's where IPHIPI sits.
