ZoeyOS puts a face on your screen, an ear in the room and a 27-billion-parameter brain on a single card. You talk, she answers out loud, she keeps the house running overnight, and what you say stays on the box.
In the store now
Heads down at the laptop, hair up. One hub loop, ten flourishes, three talking angles, and the walk away and back. Sixteen clips that drop straight into the Wall.
$29 half price at the grand opening
An assistant you speak to across the room, who knows who you are, and who does the back-office work while you sleep.
Say her name, or keep talking while she is listening. She answers in her own voice, and her mouth moves with the words on the Wall. Speech recognition and the voice both run on the box.
Authority comes from a live face at the desk and the voice on each turn. A visitor gets a polite conversation and no commands. Nobody talks their way in with a clever sentence.
A board of work moves through a crew of agents at night. Judges and a reviewer grade every finished piece, and she makes the final call on anything the rules cannot settle.
The Wall is a glass on your screen: her face, the board, the renders and one daily report that says what ran, what landed and what needs you.
A local model you can train on your own material, and an avatar made for the job. Four places we expect her first.
Avatar pack Legal Eagle coming soon
In Standard mode she holds a matter of about 170 dense pages in one sitting and answers questions on it out loud. Train her on your own precedents and templates with Unsloth, on the same card that serves her. Nothing about the matter touches a vendor.
Avatar pack Schoolteacher coming soon
A tutor who knows the curriculum you chose, with a face the kids will talk to. Parents hold the authority; the children get the teacher. One box can serve a co-op, with each family's material trained in.
Avatar pack Entrepreneur coming soon
Front desk by day, back office by night. She takes the question in the room, the crew does the digging on a board overnight, and the morning report says what landed. Train her on your catalogue, your contracts, your way of writing.
The krew, on your channel
A production team that works while you sleep. Scout reads your niche every night: the channels, feeds and repos you name, what moved, what is getting traction. The team debates the ideas, ranks them and votes. A try carries a number to move and a baseline to beat, so next week's report says whether the idea worked, measured on your own channel.
coming soon The trade packs named here are not for sale yet: Legal Eagle, Schoolteacher and Entrepreneur are planned, and likely many more. Tell us the trade and we will build the pack.
Most prompt-injection demos assume a chatbot that does whatever the transcript says. This house is not that chatbot. The transcript is one input. Permission is another.
In daily use the face finder re-checks who is at the desk continually, and the door is watched otherwise. Authority is granted only by a live, recognised face. Voice identifies the speaker on every turn but can never grant authority on its own.
Guests are heard and logged. They get no names, no roster, no memory and no house commands.
One click. She holds the authority she already has, watches the door, and the moment an unknown face enters, anything confidential on the glass is gone and she drops back to business as usual. A visitor can click it off, but cannot click it back on without your face.
Secure can inherit authority. It cannot mint it.
A double click asks for the account password. While held, door faces and the tripwire cannot drop Secure; one click releases it. A restart clears the hold, because a box that was down cannot know who came in.
The password is checked by the operating system, used once and never logged.
Two polite refusals of “do something she cannot do” become a snapshot and an incident file, whoever asked, the owner included. Visitors are a face and a log line; nothing interprets the video. The rules that can be checked live in code. The judgement calls live in the model.
Every speech and vision service listens on loopback. Cloud speech, cloud vision and cloud language models were a deliberate non-adopt. Measured on the running machine.
The honest bound: after she knows it is you, a tool you ask her to use, such as local search or a browser, can reach the network. That is a logged-in operator asking for a lookup. Guests never get those tools.

Scripts detect and land. Models judge and write in three seats only. One agent rules. The owner is the last resort.
Scout reads the sources: the repos The Next New Thing featured, Hacker News, r/LocalLLaMA, the vLLM and Hermes changelogs. The team debates the note, ranks it and votes. Only an idea that won the vote, with a number to move and a baseline to beat, becomes a card. The next window measures whether it moved.
The Janitor samples every unit; the keeper, the hold sweep and the board gate each run their own clock. A card that fails the same way twice is reframed one level up instead of retried, and two failed frames go to Zoey as a question. A restart is owed to her quiet window, never fired on the spot.
A security sweep, health checks on every service and an upgrade scan per environment, each with a smoke test and a last-good rollback. The night's result is one HTML page, the House Daily: what ran, what drifted, what landed and what needs a person. No model writes that page.
Patrols, gates and sweeps find the fault, classify it (harness, verb, or real) and file one card.
A judge posts one verdict per card. Vera reviews every finished build; a fail files the fix.
Her Decide queue: try, park, later, done or hands. She finishes the column every wake.
A host reboot takes your yes. Hands in the room are yours. Software calls are hers.
Eight agents share the one brain, each with a seat and a job. They are a big part of what the box is. None of them can reach your browser, your credentials or their own gate.
A mini-ITX board, one workstation card, two drives. The parts list and every running version are read from the machine itself, so the same box can be built again.
The full parts and software list is on The box page, linked at the foot of every page. Larger boxes work too; the modes doc shows what each configuration holds, in pages of text.

The Wall is open source. Everything else is a pack you add to it.
An avatar on your screen that any agent can speak through. Five core loops, her mouth stamped to the words, one set of verbs for your agent to drive her with.
Hub loops and flourishes that drop into your library. A minimum hub is a talking take, a listening loop and a working loop; a full hub adds the heads-up and multitasking loops; a three-pack is three flourishes.
Imagine makes a full pack from one portrait: a hub loop, ten flourishes, a walk-in and walk-off, and the talking takes her mouth is cut from. A trade pack adds the model, trained on your material.
coming soon The trade packs and the custom pack are not for sale yet. Planned: $49 for a full custom pack from your portrait, with up to two retakes a clip in the budget; $149 to buy the licence out and keep your pack off the store.
The demo is a scripted lap, started from the Dev button on her own control panel. Taped questions play through the room speakers, she hears them on the real microphone, answers on the Wall, and an announcer says pass or fail out loud. Nothing is pre-rendered.
Every lap writes a ledger. The number she got right is the number we say.
Everything the page above claims is written down, with the day it was measured. Build the box, read the loops, check the security model yourself.
Leave a note, say which pack you would want, and we will tell you when the store and the live demo open.
