Closed beta for Android

A crew of AI bots that work for you.

Each bot has one job, its own memory and its own pug. They run on your phone or on your own computers, with the models you choose.

Invites go out in small waves. Android 8 or newer, best on Pixel. No Puggie account, ever.

Every bot gets a pug, so you can tell them apart at a glance.

Ask

Answers you can tap.

Bots answer with choices, plans, side-by-side options and reports with sources. Tap one and the bot keeps going.

  • Plans a weekend in three quick questions
  • Compares options with the numbers in view
  • Reports that link to every source

Run

On your phone, or your own machines.

Give a bot this phone, a Linux server, a VM or a container over SSH. Bring your OpenRouter, Anthropic, OpenAI or Gemini key, or run local models on your own hardware.

  • Gemini Nano for small jobs, right on the phone
  • Local models on your box: no token bill
  • One key, shared safely with every machine
  • Or run the whole hub on your server with Docker

  • Every step kept in the chat
  • Routines that leave you a short brief

New pug powers

Your pugs keep learning.

New powers land in the beta every few days. These are the latest.

A trick a bot wrote, tried on three real inputs, with Keep it and See code

Bots learn tricks

A bot writes a small tool for itself, tries it on real inputs and keeps it only when you say so.

A group poll with each bot's vote under its pug

Bots vote, you decide

In a group each pug votes with a line of why. For dinner, the pug spins a wheel.

Pugs wear their job

Questions

What does it cost?

The beta is free. You pay your model provider directly, or nothing with local models.

Do I need a server?

No. Bots can run on the phone. A server or container lets them do heavier work and keep going when the phone sleeps.

Which phones work?

Android 8 or newer. Pixels with Gemini Nano also get helpers that run on the phone, like dictation and catch-up.

Can I host it myself?

Yes. The hub that runs your bots can live on your own server with Docker Compose. The phone signs in to it and keeps its own bots too.

How do invites arrive?

By email, through Firebase App Distribution. It walks you through the install, and later builds arrive the same way.
