Sign in with GoogleWhat it does
Press the button, talk, listen. Pocket Rocket hears you, thinks with Claude, searches the live web when the question needs it, and speaks back in seconds. No phone. No app. No subscription to the gadget cloud - it runs on a backend you own.
Weather, scores, news, facts. A built-in web search tool pulls current information instead of reciting stale training data.
The backend is yours: a small service on your own VM. Speech in, voice out, nothing routed through a vendor's cloud.
Custom firmware with an English interface and a "Hi ESP" wake word, built from the open-source xiaozhi project.
Rocketisms
Rocket spent decades running IndyCar tech inspection, and he had a saying for everything. The community keeps them alive: anyone can add a Rocketism, search the collection, and the device picks the one that fits your conversation best.
Chosen to fit the moment, every time
How it works
Say "Hi ESP" or press the button. The device wakes and starts listening.
Your voice streams to your own backend, transcribed by AssemblyAI and answered by Claude, with live web search when the question calls for it.
The backend matches the conversation to the best-fitting Rocketism from the community collection and appends it, verbatim, before the reply is spoken back.
