Meet Nidous

The home that knows your family.

Nidous gives your house a voice. It knows your home and everyone in it, and you just talk to it, like it’s part of the family.

What it is

Not another gadget.
It’s your house, with a voice.

Nidous is the house as the family’s agent. It gets to know your home and the people who live in it, and it’s always ready for a chat.

The little sphere on your counter is just its mouth and ears. Soft fabric on the outside, and behind it, two small round eyes that do all the talking without words: they glow, they blink, and when something makes it happy, they go ^ ^.

  • Soft fabric sphere. Designed to sit happily in a kitchen or living room.
  • Two little eyes. No pupils, no mouth. All the expression lives in the light.
  • A real mute button on top. Press it and the eyes close and a red light comes on.
An illustration of the design concept. The eyes express mood; they don’t watch or follow anyone.

What it does

Everyday help, in a voice that feels like home.

01

Talk like you talk.

Real-time voice conversation, with natural back-and-forth. Change your mind halfway through? Just cut in. Nidous stops, listens, and picks up from there.

02

Good morning, made for you.

A personal morning briefing with the weather, your agenda, your reminders and the news, put together for the person asking.

Voice reminders, too. “Remind me to call the plumber at four.” Done. No app, no typing.

03

It remembers the house.

The guest Wi-Fi password. Grandma’s birthday. Who takes their coffee black. Nidous keeps the little things about your home and each person in it, so nobody has to.

And it can forget. Say “forget that,” and it’s gone.

04

It knows who’s talking.

Nidous recognizes the people in your household by their voice, so “what’s on my calendar?” gets your calendar, and everyone gets answers that fit them.

Privacy

Part of the family means keeping its secrets.

Nidous’s voice runs in the cloud. So instead of asking you to just trust us, we built in ways for you to see and control what happens.

  • A physical mute button

    Right on top. Press it and Nidous stops listening: the eyes close and a red light shows, so you can tell from across the room.

  • Private stays private

    Private things are never spoken out loud. Nidous sends them to your phone instead.

  • A log of what goes to the cloud

    See what’s been sent to the cloud, in a log you can open and read anytime.

  • Forget anything

    Anything Nidous remembers, you can make it forget. Your house, your call.

Your home’s devices

Ask Nidous to dim the lights or take care of other things around the house, the same way you’d ask a person.
