TaqaBuddy, a white handheld device with a touchscreen and a round orange talk button

01/What it does

01

Just say it

Hold the button and speak. It works out which device you mean and sends the command.

02

Runs on the device

The AI lives inside TaqaBuddy, not in a data center. Nothing you say has to leave your hand.

03

Asks before it acts

Doors, locks, garages and gates wait for your yes. The AI ensures you stay safe before acting.

04

Learns your remotes

Point an old remote at it once and it remembers the signal. Snap on a module to reach more of your home.

02/How it works

1

Hold to talk

Press the orange button and say what you want. There is no wake word, so the microphone is off until you press the button.

"turn on the living room tv"

2

It works out what you mean

An AI model on the device reads the list of things you own and picks the right device and command.

living room tv / power on

3

It sends the command

It sends the same signal your remote would. For a door, lock or garage, it asks you first.

sent / infrared
