01 / The Console

— Designed in Brooklyn, NY. Patent pending.

A physical directory
for your digital workforce.

Stop typing instructions into a browser window. Eklie takes your company’s specialized AI models and maps them to physical phone extensions.

You don’t log in. You don’t manage tabs. You lift the receiver, dial a department, and get your answers out loud.

“We do not route data packets.
We call departments.”

A hand lifts the matte-black Eklie handset from its cradle. The dot-matrix screen reads DIAL > 313.

02 / The Interaction

The end of the prompt.

Talk to Eklie the way you talk to a trusted colleague. No blank page. No paragraph to engineer. No tab to switch to.

  1. Lift

    The cradle wakes. An authenticated line opens.

  2. Dial

    Three digits. One specialized agent on the line.

  3. Talk

    Full duplex. Hands free of the keyboard.

  4. Hang up

    The microphone circuit physically opens. Session ends.

03 / The Directory

Need Marketing?
Dial 300.

Every department gets a dedicated number. Because the AI is siloed to that specific extension, it never loses context. You aren’t configuring an API — you are just calling the right expert for the job.

The Assistant

Dial in to hear your morning schedule and dictate email replies out loud. Eklie’s Assistant knows your calendar, your habits, and your tone of voice.

Default extension · Always available

Marketing

Dial in to bounce campaign ideas back and forth. You talk, it refines. Brand voice, positioning, and a half-decade of your own creative archive are loaded on the line.

Brand · Copy · Strategy

Legal

Dial in to ask a quick compliance question without navigating company wikis. Reads contracts aloud. Flags risk in plain language. Never confuses jurisdictions.

Counsel · Review · Citations

Engineering

Walk through a system design while pacing the office. Talk out a postmortem in the kitchen. Pair on a tricky module without ever opening a tab.

Pair · Review · Diagram

Operations

Get a verbal snapshot of cash, runway, vendor status, and headcount before your stand-up. Ops doesn’t answer in dashboards — it answers in sentences.

Build your own

Map any model you run — OpenAI, Anthropic, self-hosted — to any free extension. Eklie speaks plainly to all of them, and remembers context only while the handset is lifted.

04 / Material

Built like a tool,
finished like an instrument.

The Eklie console is machined from a single billet of 6000-series aluminum and bead-blasted to a soft, anodized silver. The handset is zinc-core for the right kind of weight in your hand. Every screw is captive. Every edge is chamfered.

Chassis
Bead-blasted 6000-series aluminum
Handset
Zinc-core, soft-touch polymer shell

Keypad
22 mechanical switches, double-shot ABS caps
Screen

05 / Privacy

Hang up to disconnect.

Software is always listening. Hardware follows the laws of physics.

When you replace the handset on the cradle, the physical switch cuts the microphone circuit and instantly terminates the model’s memory cache. Your session is secured by gravity. Your data is wiped. Your desk is quiet.

  • Ephemeral session cache
  • AES-256 at rest
  • No always-on listening
