A personal companion, built in public
A conversation that can keep up with a life.
OpenFriend is a full-duplex conversational companion: present in the moment, able to delegate deeper work, and designed to come with you when the phone stays home.
Voice carries the relationship.
The web makes decisions clear.
The live voice layer
Choose the conversation, not the code path.
Run the same short conversation with Economy and Quality, score how each one feels, and compare latency and estimated cost without storing the conversation. Harder work can still move to a separate, stronger operator.
Paired experiment
Use the same guide for both profiles
- I’ve had a long day. Help me reset in one minute.
- Help me choose between a quiet evening and seeing friends. Ask me one question before advising.
- While OpenFriend answers, redirect it: Actually, make that practical: give me one next step.
Both profiles support full-duplex audio, interruption, and tool use in the current registry. This experiment does not evaluate memory, connectors, or Watch behavior.
Idle. Choose a profile, then start when you are ready.
