As technology evolves at an accelerated pace, it is more important than ever to design tools that foster human well-being in thoughtful and sustainable ways. ‘Pebble’ is a portable AGI device that reinvents our interaction with intelligent systems.
Completely verbal and screen-free, it connects with users through natural conversation and requires neither a smartphone nor a computer. The assistant helps with everyday tasks, offers reminders, answers questions, and grows with the user over time, transforming from a helpful assistant into a trusted companion.
Personal information is protected by a double-layer encryption system, ensuring only your AGI agent can access your data.
With a durable, modular design that allows for upgrades and repairs, it is made from Neolith, a recyclable, engineered marble made entirely from natural materials, making it safe for skin, hygienic, and carbon-neutral. It is available in five earthy tones that evoke the beauty of natural stone.
Likewise, the packaging has been designed as an emotional experience that forms part of the product itself, not a mere remnant, reflecting the project’s deep commitment to sustainability and personal connection.
‘Pebble’ closes a circle that began 2.6 million years ago with humanity’s first tools. Like those early creations, it is meant to be held, shared, and learned from. By reconnecting us with our past, it simultaneously projects a future in which technology is not cold or overwhelming, but warm, supportive, and deeply human.
