Hardware in development · Software available now
Ovra is a home AI that runs your lights, TV, music and thermostat from any room. It listens in the room, thinks in the house, and only reaches the cloud when you let it.
App: free to start, on any phone · Starter Kit $429 early price (later $449)
“Hey Ovra, movie night in the living room.”
Render · Hub (left) and Pod · drag to rotateWhere we are
We'd rather tell you exactly where things stand. Ovra's assistant software is built and you can use it on your phone now. The Hub and Pods are designed but not finished: we're building prototypes and choosing a manufacturer now, and details will change before they ship.
Things you'll say
Turn on the TV and put on Netflix.Powers the TV, switches to the Netflix app, dims the living-room lights to 30%.
Play my Discover Weekly in the kitchen.Spotify on the kitchen Sonos, or on the Pod in that room.
I'm heading to bed.Lights off downstairs, thermostat to 67°, doors checked. Unlocking always asks you first.
How it works
The Pod or Hub hears “Hey Ovra” on its own chip. Until then, no audio leaves the device.
Audio goes over your Wi-Fi to the Hub, which knows which room you're in and what's in it.
Lights, music, timers and scenes run on the Hub with no internet. Fast, and free to run.
Open questions and multi-step requests go to the AI with your permission rules attached. Then it speaks back.
Connects
The Hub has Wi-Fi 6, Thread, Zigbee, Bluetooth and Ethernet built in, and speaks Matter and Home Assistant. Most devices connect in the app in a minute.
Brand names show compatibility only. Ovra is not affiliated with these companies. Some services need their own account or subscription.
Privacy
Every device has a physical mic switch that removes power from the microphones. A red light shows it. Software can't turn it back on.
Wake word and everyday commands run in your home. Recordings aren't stored. Transcripts stay on the Hub and you can delete them anytime.
Choose what Ovra may see and control, per device. Locks, alarms and garage doors always ask for your OK, and every action is logged.
