Our story

An AI you don't have to look at.

Phones ask for your eyes and both hands. We started metaterrAI to build intelligence you simply talk to: small, round and quiet until you need it.

The name

Three ideas in one word.

meta

Beyond the screen. An assistant you talk to, rather than tap through.

terra

Of the earth. Titanium, ceramic, and a box made only of paper and fibre.

AI

Voices that understand, answer and follow through, in your language.

How we got here

From a development board to titanium.

  1. The prototype

    27 millimetres of proof.

    The first metaterrAI One was a round AMOLED development board with a separate battery and speaker, in a screwless case we 3D-printed ourselves. It was thick, but it talked: real conversations, six voices, meeting notes and live translation.

  2. The interface

    Designed for a circle.

    We drew every screen for 466 round pixels: thirteen watch faces, an app grid and a screen of its own for each voice. A companion app for iOS and Android and our own cloud keep the voices quick.

  3. The design

    From 27 mm to 9.95 mm.

    We drew three enclosures in titanium and chose the one that felt best in the hand: a titanium band with a domed zirconia ceramic back. Less than half the thickness, with nothing in the way of the radio.

  4. What's next

    From our desk to yours.

    We are now working with manufacturing partners to make metaterrAI One in titanium and ceramic, and to pack it in a box made only of board, paper and fibre.

What we believe

Fewer screens. Better conversations.

Voice first

If you have to look, we're not finished.

Every feature starts as something you can say. The screen is there for a glance, never a stare.

Made to last

Materials that age well.

Titanium, ceramic and glass, in a shape with nothing to snag, unscrew or break off.

Nothing extra

Only what earns its place.

No plastic in the box and no power adapter you already own. On the device, two buttons and a voice.
