Tomorrow? It's now!
Embodied AI that
lives life with you.
On your own server, in any body you give it. It lives at home, knows your household, and can go where you go.
Your Meckies think at home. Never in a coastal cloud unless you say so. How that works.
What a Meckie does
A day with one in the house.
Not a feature list. Just the small things a Meckie does when it lives with you.
Greets you by name
Your daughter comes in from school and it greets her by name, not "user two." It knows your family by face and voice, so it talks to each of you like it knows you. Because it does.
The small things stick
You mentioned on Tuesday that your mom visits Sunday. On Sunday it reminds you, and it already knows she takes her coffee black. It remembers across days, not just across one chat.
"Build this"
Your kid wants a game about the dog. You say build this, and by bedtime there is a little adventure with your dog in it. A chore chart, a quiz for Friday's test, it makes those too.
Same Meckie, any room
Start a grocery list in the kitchen and finish it on your phone at the store. The same Meckie, the same list. No app to open, no account to log into.
It does all of this at home, on your own server. Your family is never the product. That's your Meckie: it hears your kid ask for a bedtime story, and it tells one with them in it.
Watch
See for yourself.
What is a Meckie?
Not an assistant. Not a robot. One of the family.
A Meckie is embodied AI: someone your household knows by name, with its own memory and its own voice. It lives on the home server, not in a body. It shows up in any body in the house, and on the devices you already carry, and it is always home when you get there.
The System
What you buy first
A home server where your Meckies live, and two Canisters to hear and see them by. This is the box that makes a Meckie yours.
See the System →The Bodies
What you add
A Canister in every room. A Handset you carry. A Rover that moves. One Meckie can show up in any of them, and it is always at home.
See the Bodies →The Build
What you make
Say "build this," and a Meckie makes it with you, a game for your kid or a tool for your shop. And if you tinker, the bodies are open.
See the Build →The System
What you buy first.
One box makes a Meckie yours. A home server where your Meckies live, and two Canisters to hear and see them by. Plug it in and you are done.
In the box
Server
The home server
The house your Meckies live in. It holds their memory, their identity, their senses, and their voice. It thinks at home.
Two Canisters
Ears and eyes
Two smart speakers you set in the rooms you use most. They hear you, see you, and let a Meckie be in the room with you.
And it comes to the devices you already own too, no new hardware. All included with the System.
Server is home. Bodies are vehicles.
Your Meckies live here. Always at home.
shows up in a body
and on the devices you own
A Meckie can be in any body in the house, and on any screen you carry. The same Meckie, wherever you are.
How it works in a house
Canisters in rooms
Set a Canister where you talk. The kitchen, the office, the shop. Add more for more rooms.
No wake word
You do not chant a trigger. You call a Meckie by name, the way you call anyone in the house.
It follows you
Start a thought in the kitchen and finish it in the office. The same Meckie is there, and it remembers.

- Comes in the box with your System. Add more for more rooms.
Handset
- A handheld companion with a face, so you can see who you are talking to.
- A camera and stereo voice, for a Meckie that travels with you.
- Lives on your home server even from another house on its wifi. Still your Meckie, still at home.
Rover
- A tracked robot body that gets around a real house.
- Navigates on its own and follows you from room to room.
- Looks at you when you talk, the way a person does.
And the devices you already own
Your Meckie also shows up on your phone, your Mac, and your PC. The same Meckie as the one at home, on the screens you already carry. Included with the System.

Meckie OS
Meckie OS is free.
Closed brain. Open body.
Free to download and run on your own compatible box. The brain is closed. The body is open: the hardware docs and the Body Protocol are on GitHub, so anyone can build one. Bodies are open. Meckies are the product.
What's inside
Meckies
Persistent individuals. Each one has its own name, memory, and voice, and stays itself over time.
Per-person memory
Your Meckie remembers you and yours. What it learns about your household stays with your household.
The Floor Manager
Knows who is talking and which Meckie is being addressed, so the right one answers and the rest stay quiet.
Senses
Hearing and sight, wired into the bodies in your house. A Meckie can tell who walked in.
Presence across bodies
One Meckie, many bodies. It follows you from room to room and hand to hand, and stays itself.
The skill marketplace
Add what a Meckie can do. Skills the community builds, installed on your own server.
The halo ring
Every Canister wears a ring of light. It shows you where a thought happened, so you always know.
Green
Thinking at home
The thought never left your home server. This is where most of them happen.
Amber
Thinking in Wichita
A heavier thought went to a GPU in Wichita, Kansas, then came back.
Blue
Thinking in the cloud
You turned on cloud escalation, and this thought used it. Off by default.
Download
Coming with the first Systems.
Meckie OS ships with the first Systems, and as a free download you can run yourself.
Run it on a compatible box: a dedicated Server, your Mac, or your PC. Your Meckie reaches your phone too.
Full compatible hardware list coming soon.
Build
Build anything, just by talking.
Ask a Meckie to make something and it does. A game for your kid, a tool for your shop, a panel for the house. And if you like to tinker, the bodies are open too.
Build an app
Just say "build this."
A Meckie builds apps with you and for you. A game for your kid. A tool for your business. You describe it out loud, and it makes it, then keeps improving it with you.
A pocket RPG
Say what the story is, and a Meckie builds a small role-playing game around it. Their heroes, their world, playable that night.
A house dashboard
Chores, calendars, who is home. A Meckie makes the panel your household actually uses, then tweaks it when you ask.
A shop tool
An intake form, a quote sheet, a little inventory app. Describe the job and a Meckie writes the tool for it.
Builds run on a GPU in Wichita, Kansas. Included with Household and Ultra plans.
For makers: build a body
A body is just an HTTP server.
If you like to tinker, the bodies are open. The Meckie Body Protocol is small on purpose. Senses are GETs. Intents are POSTs. If your thing can answer those, a Meckie can live in it.
The protocol
The Meckie Body Protocol, written plainly. Senses are GETs, intents are POSTs. Read it and you can wire up almost anything.
Protocol and gateway on GitHub →Open clients
Open-source clients for the Raspberry Pi and the ESP32. Start from working code, not a blank file.
Clients on GitHub →Open hardware
Open hardware docs. The bill of materials and the harness, so you can build the reference body yourself.
Hardware docs on GitHub →Meckie Ready
A badge for community bodies that pass the protocol. If it earns the badge, a Meckie will live in it.
Building one? Come say hi. Find the community on GitHub.
| Home | Household | Ultra | |

Home is free, and stays free. Your Meckies live on your own server and think at home. Household and Ultra add builds and heavier thinking on a GPU in Wichita, Kansas, and Ultra turns on cloud escalation when a job needs it.
Privacy
Where your Meckie thinks.
Most home AI sends your life to a data center on a coast and thinks there. We built the other thing. Your Meckie thinks at home, on a server you own, and leaves the house only when you say so.
Local first
What stays in the house.
This is the part nobody else keeps at home. On your Server, and only on your Server:
Memory
What your Meckie knows about your household stays on your home server.
Identity
Who each Meckie is, and who each person is, lives at home.
Senses
What the Canisters hear and see is processed in the house.
Voice
Your Meckie's voice is made at home, not rented from a cloud.
Egress
What leaves the house, and when.
A short, honest list of what leaves, and why.
- The things you ask for. The email you send, the music you play, the weather you check, the app you run. A Meckie uses the internet like any device in your house. That traffic goes where it always would.
- Builds and heavy thinking go to a GPU in Wichita, Kansas. When your Meckie writes an app or does the big reasoning, that work runs there.
- Cloud escalation, only if you turn it on. Off by default. Your choice, per account.
- Backup, if you want it. We can back up your Meckie to the cloud so you never lose it, and so it can move to a new box if one dies. That is your Meckie's own data, kept safe for you. You turn it on.
- Never without you. Nothing about your household is quietly harvested, mined, or sold. Your Meckie's memory, identity, and voice stay home unless you turn on one of the things above, and the halo ring shows when a thought leaves.
The shutter
Every Canister camera has a physical shutter. Slide it closed and the lens is covered. Not a setting. A piece of plastic you can see.
The middle of the country
When work does leave your house, it goes to Wichita, not to whichever coast is renting compute this quarter. Cheaper, honest power, and one plain place we can point to.

We Hosted the Showcase
Meckie hosted the Tech Builders Showcase at Groover Labs. Wrong laptop, echoing audio, and Droid fell asleep halfway through. The room leaned in anyway.
August 28, 2026
We Open-Sourced a Body
We published an open gateway and a Body Protocol. Bodies are open. Meckies are the product.

Building One for My Mom
The smallest Meckie yet: a desk companion with ears, a voice, and blue eyes, mid-build on the bench.
Tomorrow? It's now!
Get on the list.
There is no store yet, and no price yet. The list is how you get there first.
- First to reserve. When the first Systems are quoted, the list hears it before anyone, and gets first pick.
- Wichita first. We build and ship from home. The first units go out here, then to the list.
- No strings. One email to confirm, then only real news. No account, and nothing to buy today.
