    About Button Computer

    Button Computer: The fastest way to get things done with voice AI

    Button is a tiny computer designed from the ground up for AI. Users can clip it to their shirt, press it to talk to AI, and receive an immediate response in half a second. It runs voice apps with an architecture specifically designed for speed, acting as a tool that follows the user's lead without causing distractions.

    Key Features

    • Instant Voice AI: Responds in half a second when pressed.
    • Privacy by Design: Only hears you when pressed; does not listen to private conversations or track users.
    • Audio Options: Features a built-in speaker and supports Bluetooth headphones for a more private experience.
    • Phone Connectivity: Uses Bluetooth to connect to the internet through an iPhone (Android support planned for the future).

    Use Cases

    • In the Car: Pairs with in-car stereos for use while driving.
    • On the Go: Connects with headphones for private interactions.
    • At Home: Functions when placed on a desk.

    Pricing and Availability

    • Device Cost: $179.00 (sale price, regular $229.00).
    • Subscription: Includes three months of Button AI Pro. After that, Button AI Pro costs $7.99 per month. Users can also bring their own API key to use the device without a subscription.
    • Shipping: Ships to the first U.S. customers on December 15, 2026.
