Computers
are still
hard.

The personal computer was supposed to change everything. And it did — for the technically inclined. For everyone else, it's been five decades of drivers, passwords, error messages, and phone calls to their kids.

Smart assistants promised to fix this. Instead, they delivered a new category of complexity — subscriptions, wake words that don't work, and privacy policies nobody reads.

🖨️ "Why won't it print?"
Driver updates, network conflicts, offline queues. The printer worked yesterday. Nobody knows why it stopped.
📱 "Which app do I use?"
Your thermostat has one app. Your lights have another. Your lock has a third. None of them talk to each other.
🔐 "I forgot my password again."
The average household manages 70–80 passwords. Every smart device wants an account. Every account wants a password.
🤖 "Alexa, turn off the—"  Sorry, I didn't get that.
Voice assistants understand commands, not conversations. They're impressive in demos and frustrating at home.
💸 "Another subscription?"
AI assistants now charge $20/month per person. A household of four pays $80/month for the privilege of asking questions.
📞 "Can you just fix it for me?"
Adult children have become the household IT department. Parents feel embarrassed. Everyone's tired of it.

"The technology industry has spent fifty years building computers for enthusiasts and calling it progress for everyone."

Privacy is
coming to an end.

Every "smart" device in your home is a sensor. Every AI assistant is a listener. Every query you make to a cloud service is logged, stored, analyzed, and sold. The business model of the AI industry is you.

Voice Assistants
Every question you ask is stored
Audio snippets, search queries, shopping habits, calendar events — all retained and associated with your profile. Indefinitely.
Smart Home Devices
Your home has a heartbeat they can read
When you wake, when you sleep, when you're home, when you're not. Motion patterns, energy use, door activity — all uploaded to vendor clouds.
AI Chat Services
Your most private thoughts, stored
Health concerns, relationship problems, financial anxieties. The things you ask an AI in the middle of the night are not confidential. They are training data.
89%
of Americans say they have little or no control over data collected about them by companies.
$240B
The global data broker industry — built entirely on selling information about you without your knowledge.

The number of major AI assistant providers who offer true local, private inference as a consumer product.

"Your bathroom and your car were the last two places where you could still have privacy. And now even your car is off limits."

Modern connected vehicles log your location, speed, voice commands, biometrics, and driving behavior — and upload it all to manufacturer servers. That data is sold to insurers, data brokers, and advertisers. You signed away the right to your morning commute in a terms-of-service agreement you never read.

// The Answer

What if your AI
didn't need to
phone home?

Jobe is a household AI appliance. It sits in your home. It runs entirely on local hardware. Every inference, every query, every conversation stays inside your four walls.

No subscription. No cloud account. No terms of service that change. No one listening. Just an AI that belongs to your household — that knows your family, your routines, and your preferences — because it lives with you.

Plug it in like a router. It works for everyone in the house from day one.

JOBE
AI // Local // Private

An AI that works
for the whole household.

Jobe isn't a chatbot with a speaker attached. It's a household computing appliance — built to handle the full complexity of a real home.

🏠
Smart Home Control
Lights, locks, thermostat, TV. Zigbee, Z-Wave, Tuya, Roku, LG WebOS. Jobe speaks to everything — and doesn't need the internet to do it.
🎤
Push-to-Talk Voice
No wake word harvesting. Push a button, speak, get an answer. Common commands respond in under 200ms — no AI involved at all.
👨‍👩‍👧‍👦
Household-Aware
Multiple household members, each with their own context and permissions. Jobe knows who's asking without invading anyone's privacy.
🧠
Local AI Inference
Runs a capable AI model entirely on-device. No internet required. No API costs. Your questions never leave your network.
📋
Tasks & Memory
Reminders, grocery lists, household tasks. Jobe remembers context across conversations. Your home's AI should know your home.
📱
Works Everywhere
Progressive web app works on any phone, tablet, or browser — no app store required. Push notifications reach you even away from home.

No mysteries. No fine print.

Jobe is a new kind of product. Here's a plain-language picture of what it is, how you use it, and what it can and can't do.

The Interface
Your phone is the button.
There's no dedicated touchscreen or physical button on the Jobe device. You interact with Jobe through a progressive web app on your phone, tablet, or computer — no app store required. Open a browser, tap a bookmark, and you're talking to Jobe. Push-to-talk, type, or use forms — your existing devices are the input and display.
Who's Talking
Jobe knows who you are because you're signed in — not because it's listening for your voice.
There's no voice recognition for identity, no face scanning, no biometrics. Each household member has their own secure login on their own device. Jobe knows it's you because your device says it's you — the same way a website knows you're logged in. Simple, private, and reliable.
Response Speed
Fast for common things. Thoughtful for complex ones.
Simple commands — lights, locks, reminders, timers — use a trigger fast-path that bypasses the AI entirely and responds in under 200ms. Conversational requests that need reasoning take a few seconds, the same as any AI assistant. The difference is that processing happens on your device at home, not in a data center.
Remote Access
When you're away from home, the relay server connects you.
On your home network, Jobe connects directly — no internet required. Away from home, your app connects through jobeai.net, an encrypted relay server that passes your messages to your Jobe device. The relay never processes your conversation — it's a private tunnel, not a cloud. If the relay is offline, remote access is unavailable, but everything on your home network still works normally.
The Hardware
A small computer that lives in your home.
Jobe runs on a compact mini PC with a dedicated GPU — about the size of a thick paperback book. You plug it into power and your home network. It runs AI inference locally using the GPU, which is why it doesn't need the cloud. Think of it like a NAS or a home server, but for AI.
The Household
One device serves the whole family.
Every person in your household gets their own account with their own context, preferences, and permissions. The device owner controls who has access and what they can do. There's no per-person subscription — one Jobe device, one household, everyone included.

Your data lives
on your hardware.
Full stop.

This isn't a privacy policy. It's an architectural guarantee. Jobe cannot leak your data to the cloud because it doesn't connect to one for inference.

The relay server at jobeai.net handles remote access only — encrypted, authenticated, carrying no AI workload. Your conversations never traverse it.

Zero cloud inference
AI processing happens entirely on your Jobe device. No query ever reaches an external server. There's nothing to subpoena, breach, or sell.
No subscription, no account
Jobe doesn't know who you are. There's no sign-up, no cloud profile, no email address on file. Your household is identified by a key that never leaves your home.
Open architecture
Jobe runs on standard hardware with open-source components. You can inspect everything — the model, the tools, the code. No black boxes.
Works without internet
Local network communication keeps working even when your ISP goes down. Smart home control, reminders, and AI inference are all offline-capable.
