  1. 01

    The problem

    Many AI systems rely on cloud processing, which requires sending personal data to external servers. This can limit user control over data and introduce dependencies on subscriptions or internet connectivity. Users may also lack tools that proactively assist with daily tasks without explicit prompts.

    The product approach

    Core is a physical device that runs AI models locally, without requiring data to leave the user’s home. It connects to apps, files, and devices like wearables or smart-home systems to build context over time. The device operates continuously, offering proactive suggestions based on observed patterns, such as routines, health data, or upcoming events.

    What stands out

    Unlike cloud-based AI assistants, Core processes all data on-device, eliminating the need for subscriptions or external data sharing. It also differs from reactive AI tools by proactively generating suggestions—such as reminders or health insights—without requiring user prompts, using continuous context from connected apps and devices.

What could be hard to replicate?

A useful product is not automatically a moat. These mechanisms need evidence of a lasting advantage.

  • Technology & IP

    Company claim

    On-device processing requires no data to leave the user’s environment, reducing reliance on cloud infrastructure. This mechanism is supported by hardware specifications, including a dedicated GPU and CPU for local model execution.

  • Switching costs

    Company claim

    Continuous context-building relies on persistent connections to user apps and devices, creating a switching cost for users who integrate Core into their routines. The longer Core is used, the more personalized its suggestions become, making replacement harder.

The question to watch

The effectiveness of Core’s proactive suggestions depends on the accuracy and relevance of its context-building over time. Independent evidence is needed to assess whether users consistently find its insights useful or actionable compared to cloud-based alternatives.
