Invite-only private beta
Your own JARVIS on the wall.
Private. Yours.
Walter is a friendly glowing face on a screen in your home. Talk to it from across the room and it talks back, keeps your family's calendar in view, remembers what matters and quietly gets things done. It runs on a computer you own, with your own AI plan.
Not a smart speaker. A companion with a face.
Walter has no mouth and no menus. It shows how it feels with its eyes, its colour and its body, answers in a sentence or two like a person would, and says "I don't know" when it doesn't. Under the hood it's an AI agent (Claude Code) that can do real work, not just set timers.
How it works, in four steps
Use a spare computer
An old laptop or a small mini PC, plugged into any monitor or TV, with a USB speakerphone.
Install from a USB stick
Our installer sets up the whole machine. Nothing else on it is needed or kept.
Finish setup by phone
Scan the code on screen, name your Walter, and sign in to Claude through Anthropic's own sign-in on the box.
Just talk
Say its name and ask. Add the phone app and your calendar whenever you like.
What it can do today
Voice, both ways
Wake it by name and talk normally. Speech recognition and its voice run on the device by default, with captions on screen.
A family board on the wall
Month calendar, weather and alerts, scores for teams you follow, and a shared list anyone can add to by voice, phone or keyboard.
Podcasts and YouTube
"Play the latest episode" picks up where you left off. Ask for a video and it fills the screen. It pauses itself when it talks.
Your Google calendar and mail
Reads your calendars and inbox when you ask and writes email drafts for you to check. It never sends or deletes without your spoken yes.
A companion phone app
Chat, push-to-talk, the family list, your calendar and its reminders on your phone, with notifications.
Private remote access
Reach your own Walter from anywhere through your own encrypted tunnel, with no ports opened on your router. About Cloud Link
Reminders and follow-ups
Mention the car's making a noise and it'll nudge you later. Routines like a morning briefing, only if you say yes.
Real work in the background
Research, comparisons and longer jobs go to background helpers, so it's still free to chat while they run.
Calm at night
It curls up in a corner, mutes the mic in quiet hours and the screen dims to a clock.
Yours, not ours
Most assistants live in someone else's cloud. Walter lives on your wall.
Your hardware
Its memory, your lists, settings and logs live on your machine. We don't run a server that holds your conversations.
Your voice stays home
Wake word, speech recognition and voice run locally. Cloud speech is strictly opt-in.
Your AI plan
The brain is Claude, on your own Claude plan or API key. Walter never sees your Claude login.
Be one of the first homes
We're opening Walter to a small group of households first, free during the beta. Tell us a little about your setup and we'll be in touch when there's room.
