Qbit: a desk companion that talks
Qbit is a small desk companion from BiltIQ AI Lab. It has a round screen face, hears its name, answers out loud, and keeps an eye on your day so that you don't have to keep checking. It runs our own firmware and gets its answers from an open model on our own server. It is a working prototype in our lab and is not on sale.

What Qbit does
Starts and ends your day
The first time it sees you at your desk in the morning, it gives a short spoken brief: meetings, important mail and anything that needs you. In the evening, it sums up the day.
Sorts what matters
It reads your work mail and calendar and sorts mail into levels. Urgent items speak, important ones light its ears, and the rest wait for the next brief.
Knows when to be quiet
It stays silent during calendar meetings and quiet hours. When you walk away, it dims and holds your alerts.
Reads the room
It tells you in one word how the room is (nice, warm or stuffy) and shows temperature, humidity and light.
Watches the workshop
It tells you about the 3D printer, the rovers and the health of our servers.
Character
A face that means something
Qbit shows its state on its face. Every expression is drawn by our firmware, not played from a video. Its face changes with the kind of mail that arrives and follows what it is saying. It blinks, glances around and leans in as you come closer. Its ears are LEDs that stay dark at rest and light up only when something needs you.

How it works
Where the thinking happens
Qbit hears its name on the device. Your question then goes over the network to an open model on a server we run, and the answer comes back as speech. Without that server, Qbit cannot hold a conversation.
Mail and calendar access is read-only. It can read, but it cannot send, delete or change anything. Each Qbit must be paired by a code that starts on the device itself.
FAQ
Frequently asked questions
Can I buy a Qbit?
No. Qbit is a lab prototype. It is not on sale and no launch date is set.
Does Qbit run AI on the device?
Only the wake word. Answers come from an open model on a server.
Can Qbit send email or change my calendar?
No. Its access to mail and calendar is read-only.
Is Qbit related to BiltIQ’s other work?
Qbit is how we test AI that fits into everyday work: small hardware, a local model, and clear limits on what it may do.
Working on something similar?
If you want AI in a device of your own, tell us what you are building. An engineer from the lab will reply.
