Senses
What is happening on your desk
Lumi knows what you are doing on your desk in real time — paperwork, circuits, or a gadget you just unboxed.
01 — What is Lumi
AI,
out of the chatbox.
Assists
Without breaking your focus
Lumi knows when you need help and steps in without you asking.
Runs
Entirely on your device
Lumi runs completely offline, so nothing you work on ever leaves the desk.
Your AI copilot that guides you without prompting
Live demo
Lumi sees
A half-built sensor board, and its schematic open on the laptop behind.
On the desk
The breadboard. Lumi checks the board against the schematic on screen and flags the wrong row before you power it.
The schematic. Screen and bench share one context, so “this one” means the part under your iron.
The parts drawers. Ask where the 10k resistors went. Lumi remembers the drawer.
A soldering iron in one hand, a schematic on the screen
Both hands are busy and half the problem is physical. Lumi holds the bench and the file in one thought, so you can ask about the part under your iron without putting it down.
Inspecting
I see a resistor in the wrong row.
Lumi sees
Four people on the call, one agenda in the notebook, two points still unsaid.
On the desk
Lumi's face. Your prompts sit on the desk, not the shared screen. Nobody on the call sees them.
The notebook. Write a note by hand and it lands in the minutes.
The call. Lumi follows who said what and hands you the action list, names attached.
Your next three points, out of frame
Lumi keeps your agenda on its own face where only you can read it, tracks what has been covered, and writes the minutes while you talk.
Talking cue
Ask for feedback · confirm next steps
Lumi sees
A printed quarterly, a notebook of margin notes, and the same figures open on screen.
On the desk
The printed report. Lumi lifts the numbers off the page, checks them against the open file, and flags the two that disagree.
The notebook. Your margin notes become the summary, in your words.
The sticky note. Say “remind me about this” and Lumi keeps the where, not just the what.
Paper and file, in the same conversation
Serious reading still happens on paper, where every assistant loses the thread. Slide a page under the light and Lumi picks up the figures and keeps your handwriting in the record.
Reading
The table on page 3 matches your open file.
Lumi sees
A task list open, hands still moving, forty minutes unbroken. Nothing worth interrupting.
On the desk
The monitor. Lumi watches the work, not you: which document, which task, which stage.
Your hands. Still typing means still thinking, so it waits.
Lumi. Look up and it is there. Look down and it is quiet.
Six hours at a desk, and something watching the work
Most of the day is not a task you can name. Lumi holds the thread of what you are doing and speaks up at the pause, not the moment it has something to say.
Standing by
You are mid-sentence. I will hold.
Privacy
Nothing leaves
your desk.
Most AI assistants send your screen to someone else's server. Lumi's models run on the hardware in front of you.
- 01Runs on the deviceSeeing, listening and deciding all happen on Lumi’s own chip.
- 02Offline by designPull the network cable and Lumi keeps working exactly the same.
- 03Nothing leaves by defaultYour desk is never uploaded, reviewed, or trained on. If anything should ever leave, you say so.
Beyond work
Off the clock,
still by your side.
The desk is where we start, because that is where the hours are. But an assistant with eyes and a body can know your space, not just your files.
What makes an assistant personal was never in your documents. It is in your room, your habits, the things within reach.
In the kitchen
It watches the pan with you and speaks up before the garlic turns.
Around the house
It knows where things belong, and what moved since yesterday.
For the company
It turns to meet you when you walk in — presence you can feel, not another app to open.
About us
Empower human intelligence.
Today's AI agents live inside the screen. We use multimodal AI to bring them out — into the room where your real work happens. That is why our mission is to empower human intelligence, not replace it. Lumi is our first step in extending AI's capability to the real world.
