PricingWaitlist / Beta (pricing not yet disclosed)Free + open sourceIncluded with ChatGPT Plus/ProFree (open source) + whatever API you use
Best foriPhone power users who are frustrated that Siri is still reactive and want their home screen to actually anticipate their day.Devs wanting offline/local LLMs for privacy or experimentation.ChatGPT subscribers experimenting with cinematic shots.Developers who want open-source tooling with full control.
Strengths
  • Ambient, proactive intelligence delivered via native iOS widgets — no app-switching required
  • Cross-domain context: health, calendar, email, finances, and local recommendations in one layer
  • Works within iOS permission model (no jailbreak or sideloading), making App Store approval plausible
  • Strong pre-launch signal: 25k+ waitlist and backing from a16z, True Ventures, and SV Angel
  • Run Llama, Mistral, Qwen, etc. on your laptop
  • Simple CLI + API
  • Hardware-aware (picks the right quant)
  • Up to 20-sec clips at 1080p
  • Strong physics + scene composition
  • Storyboard feature for longer narratives
  • Remix existing videos
  • Works in any terminal
  • Auto-commits changes with meaningful messages
  • Works with any model (Claude, GPT, local)
  • Minimal learning curve
Weaknesses
  • Still pre-launch / beta — zero proven track record and no public pricing yet
  • iPhone-only by design, which immediately locks out half the smartphone market
  • Battery drain and privacy concerns from constant ambient context scanning are real and unresolved
  • Needs beefy laptop for larger models
  • Speed way behind cloud APIs
  • Stricter content policy than competitors
  • Hit-or-miss on complex motion
  • Text-in-video still struggles
  • Terminal-only
  • Less agentic than Claude Code
  • Setup on Windows is fiddly
Kai's verdictThe concept is genuinely compelling — turning the home screen into a living AI layer is a smarter bet than yet another chat interface — but this is vaporware until it ships publicly and we see whether Apple's sandbox lets it breathe. (Verdict pending Phi's full review.)S-tier for local inference. If you care about privacy or want to tinker, install this today.A-tier. Amazing when it works, frustrating when it doesn't. Runway still more reliable for pros.A-tier. The right answer if you want open-source + terminal-native + model-agnostic.
