Exceptional sound. Personal radio.
Intelligence of your own.
Reserve — $100
First production run — 100 Radios
Your AI. Your rules.
Give it a name. Give it a personality. Make it yours.
Connect your calendars, apps and services for updates on the news, events, people and stocks you follow — from daily reminders to the things you don’t want to miss.
What’s said at home, stays at home.
Your conversations are yours. With AI running locally, Radio* can listen, think and respond without sending your voice to the cloud. It’s faster, more private and can keep working even when the internet doesn’t.
Sound
Great sound isn’t reserved for one seat.
Patented Airsound™ spatial audio throws a full, room-wide sound stage from a single enclosure — no sweet spot, no second speaker. Sofa, doorway or kitchen table, it sounds right from wherever you happen to be.
ReserveJust ask.
“Play my most-played songs from last summer.”
“What did Sarah say in her last message?”
“Anything important in my emails this morning?”
“What’s happening near me that I’d actually like?”
“How are my stocks doing today?”
“What have I got planned this weekend?”
Private by design.
Your personal memory stays local. A physical switch disconnects the microphone.
Upgrade at any time.
Designed for future upgrades — swap in a new compute core and its intelligence grows, without replacing the whole Radio.
Made to be touched.
Brushed metal and woven fabric — weight in the dial, click in the button, nothing behind glass.
Every day
Made for the rooms you actually live in.
Morning radio while the kettle boils. A timer with one press. A message played out loud while you cook.

Design & Heritage
Designed in England.
Made with care, using considered materials and traditional craftsmanship. Designed in Manchester, a birthplace of the Industrial Revolution, home to the world’s first stored-program computer in 1948, and a city that’s been making the records everyone else dances to ever since.

Questions, answered.
What makes The Radio* different?
The Radio creates a continuous listening experience around you. It brings together music, news, stories and personal updates, and lets you interrupt or change direction simply by speaking.
Does it need a subscription?
No mandatory AI subscription is required for the core Radio experience. Local intelligence is included with the product. More demanding cloud AI features may be available through optional paid services.
Does it need an internet connection?
Some features, including online music, current news and cloud intelligence, require an internet connection. The Radio is being designed to retain useful local capabilities without one. We'll confirm the exact offline features before orders open.
Is my information private?
The Radio is designed to keep personal memory and preferences locally where practical. Optional cloud services may process information needed for a requested task. A physical switch provides microphone privacy.
Can I upgrade it?
The Radio is being designed for repair and future compute upgrades, so its intelligence can evolve without replacing the whole object. Upgrade options will be confirmed as development progresses.
When will it be available?
We're targeting the first 100 customer deliveries by Christmas 2027, subject to financing, certification and manufacturing readiness. Final delivery details will be confirmed before full orders are placed.
What does reserving involve?
A $100 USD reservation holds your place in the first production allocation. We'll confirm finish, pricing and delivery with you before it becomes a full order — and the deposit is refundable if you change your mind.
Will it work with what I already have?
That's the intention. Radio* is being designed to work alongside your existing phone, television and music services rather than replace them. We'll publish confirmed integrations before orders open.
