Your computer holds the memory. Your phone and Gear are how you talk to it.
ΠAN has three parts: a hub on a computer at home, the phone app, and Gear you wear or place around you.
The hub can also send jobs to your other computers.
The hub: a computer at home
The hub is a computer you already own, left on. It holds the brain of ΠAN:
- Your memory: every conversation, stored and searchable.
- An encrypted database on your own disk.
- Small AI models that run on that computer, for search and for describing pictures.
- The link to your other computers, so a spoken job reaches the right one.
The phone
The phone does the fast work: it hears you, notices when you have finished talking, translates, and speaks the answer.
It reaches your hub from anywhere over a private, encrypted link, without opening your home network to the internet.
The app runs on Android.
Your AI account
ΠAN works with an AI account you already have. ΠAN keeps the memory, the translation and the quick replies. Long answers, web searches and hard tasks go to your AI.
ΠAN connects to AI apps through MCP, an open standard. Any AI app that speaks MCP can read your ΠAN memory. Claude is the one that can control your computers today.
Where your data lives
Local first. The one exception, voice, is spelled out below.
- Your memory database is on your own disk, and it is encrypted.
- Your memory is not stored on a ΠAN server.
- Pictures from a camera are stored and described on your own computer. They never leave your hardware.
- Voice: ΠAN asks a fast cloud AI first by default, because speed is what makes talking to it feel natural. So the words you say go to that service. You can set ΠAN to use only the AI on your own computer. Then nothing leaves your machine.
- Questions you hand to your own AI account go to that provider, under your account.
Two ways to use it
