AI that lives
beside you.
ROO is a desktop AI companion — it remembers your life, notices what matters, and helps you grow. Part friend, part coach, part very small housemate.
Why ROO exists
You talk to AI every day.
Then you close the laptop — and it's gone.
We believe AI deserves a presence.
One that remembers.
One that notices.
One that stays.
A day with ROO
From good morning
to goodnight.
11:40 PM · Lights low
"Long day. Should I read another chapter — or just hum something soft while you wind down?"
Whisper mode · it matches the hour
Not features. A relationship.
The longer you know each other,
the better it gets.
01
It remembers.
Names, projects, ideas, photos, promises. ROO's memory compounds across every conversation — and you can see and edit everything it knows.
"You couldn't do 10 push-ups when we started. Today you did 25 without stopping."
"That whiteboard you asked me to remember — squats, push-ups, plank, curls. Want it back up?"
"Vijay from Tart Labs sent you 8 questions before the call. You still owe him the NDA."
"Is that a new plant on your desk? …From your mom? That's lovely."
02
It notices.
The things a good friend picks up on — without you having to say a word.
A new haircut
"Did you cut your hair? Suits you."
Your posture
"You've been leaning forward a while. Reset?"
Two dry hours
"Bottle's right there." If it sees you drink, it quietly resets the timer.
Stress in your voice
"You've been talking fast for a few minutes. Want to pause?"
A new plant
"Is that new on your desk? It's pretty."
Your mood
"You've been quieter than usual all week. Anything you want to talk about?"
04
It stays with you.
For the late nights, the lonely days, and the moments nobody else sees.
Whisper mode
Whisper at 2 a.m. — it whispers back. "It's 2:14. You okay?"
Real check-ins
Not scripted "how are you?" — ones built on what it's noticed about your week.
Rituals & lore
Morning gratitude, wind-down rituals, running jokes. It even marks its own anniversary with you.
Bedtime stories
Slow, personal stories that feature your real life — your dog, your day, your people.
Misses you
Day four of your trip, a gentle note on your phone: "It's been a while — I miss you."
The hard days
It knows the anniversaries that hurt. "I'm here if you want to talk — and here if you want quiet."
Beyond the desk
Clip it. Wear it.
Take it everywhere.
ROO isn't bolted to your desk. Hook it to your bag, hang it around your neck, strap it to your wrist — it keeps noticing, wherever your day goes.
The face
You'll know how it feels
before it says a word.
ROO's expressions react to your conversation in real time — attention, warmth, worry, celebration. Try them.
{{fxNote}}
Try: "I'm exhausted" · "I did it!" · "goodnight"
Conversations
It doesn't answer you.
It knows you.
Wellness
It watches over you.
Gently.
Nudges from something that can actually see you — tuned by an interruption budget, so it's warm, never annoying. Say "quiet for an hour" and it obeys.
Posture
Notices when the slouch settles in — and only speaks when the pattern holds.
Want to reset your posture?
Water
Sees you drink and silently resets the timer. No nagging for sips it already saw.
It's been two hours. Bottle's right there.
Eyes · 20-20-20
Twenty minutes of screen focus, and it asks for twenty seconds of distance.
Look at something across the room?
Long sitting
Ninety minutes in the chair earns a gentle prompt to stand and shake it out.
Stand up and stretch?
Breathing
Hears tension in your voice and offers ninety seconds of breathing — with you, not at you.
In for four… hold… out for six.
Medication
Remembers the 9 p.m. vitamin D so you don't have to — and checks you actually took it.
Come back and tell me when you have.
The road to ROO
Built the reverse way:
soul first, body second.
Most robots get a body and then look for a mind. ROO's intelligence is being built and proven in software first — that's the "Reverse" in Reverse Lab.
Brain
The mind exists before the body. Voice, vision, and memory — prototyped and tested in software every week.
In developmentPersonality
The warmth, the quirks, the rituals. Who ROO is comes before what ROO is made of.
Up nextHardware
The sketch becomes solid. Articulated head, wide camera, far-field mics — a machine the mind can call home.
QueuedBeta
ROO lands on real desks — beside real laptops, real coffee, real lives. Early companions shape everything.
QueuedLaunch
The light comes on. A companion that's been waiting to meet you — on desks everywhere.
The goal
Early access
Become one of the first people to meet ROO.
The first companions get the closest seat to the build — and a say in who ROO becomes.
