THE PATH TO LAUNCH
Make it real.
Then invite the world.
We plan to use crowdfunding to bring MOB to its first community. Before asking anyone to back it, we need to show the product working and explain how it will be built.
Follow the developmentA sequence of proof
| Phase | Work | Evidence needed to move on |
|---|---|---|
| Now · Feasibility | Supplier RFIs, compute evaluation, enclosure stack-up | Vendor-backed fit, costs, BSP and model path |
| Bench prototype | Local speech and model, device actions, call audio | Uncut working demonstration; power and latency logs |
| Engineering validation | Custom carrier, enclosure, thermal and RF tests | Repeatable build and safety review |
| Pilot | Planning target: 20 units, 30 days of use | Task success, takeover, runtime, retention and failure evidence |
| Crowdfunding readiness | Costed BOM, production plan, fulfillment, creator eligibility | Working prototype, credible funding goal, risks and support plan |
| Production | Design validation, pilot manufacturing, certification and QC | Release review before shipment |
Phase order is intentional. Durations and shipping dates will be published after supplier and prototype evidence supports them.
Kickstarter, with the facts intact
Kickstarter’s hardware rules require working prototypes and prohibit photorealistic renderings. The future funding campaign needs real prototype footage; the images on this prelaunch site are explicitly concept renders.
Creator eligibility currently requires a supported country and qualifying identity/entity and banking arrangements. India is not on the current creator-country list. An eligible entity and verified banking setup are an open dependency.
Find the first useful work
Technical builders, founders and independent professionals are audience hypotheses. Research, approved computer tasks and work with selected files are starting points for interviews and observed use. We have not established customer demand or a winning use case.
What early access means
You can follow development, volunteer for research, and express interest in a future pilot. It is free. We are not collecting deposits, selling a finished device, promising a delivery date, or claiming a live Kickstarter campaign.
What we will publish next
- A real, uncut end-to-end prototype demonstration.
- A measured runtime protocol and results, including continuous use.
- A supported-device matrix and candid failure cases.
- A production and fulfillment plan based on quotes.
