How anna works

Six quiet jobs. Three she notices. Three she never has to.

anna holds the day together (the morning, the medication, the message to family, the company) and watches the things nobody is in the room to see. All twenty hours the carer is away.

The hub

One hub. Everything in the house joins it.

anna is the hardware. annaOS is the network it runs. Peripherals pair to anna rather than to the cloud, which is why a home has one thing to install, one thing to update, and one thing to trust.

Fall sensors

Bathroom, hall, bedside. anna flags a possible fall to whoever the care plan names.

The doorbell

anna says who is at the door, and can tell the family later that it was the pharmacy.

Cameras

Processed on the device. Never streamed anywhere.

The room

Radio, television, lights, and whatever comes next. Spoken to, not tapped.

One network. It lives in the house.

The device

A device built for the home, not the gadget shelf.

A calm, ambient hub with low-latency voice, a soft ambient LED and the simplest possible setup. Installed in under ten minutes by a carer, and everything else in the house pairs to it. No IT team needed.

Why we build the hardware

The conversation stays in the house.

Most voice products send what you say to a data centre and make you a promise about what happens to it there. anna does not send it. The model runs on the device in the room, which is only possible because we build the device.

Stays in the house

Everything she says. Everything anna says back. Every frame the camera sees. It is processed where it happens, and it is never recorded or transmitted. anna keeps short encrypted notes on the device so it can pick up where she left off, and she can ask it to forget them. A message leaves only when she asks anna to send it.

Leaves the house

Insight, and only insight. That she slept badly. That a medication reminder went unanswered. That the day looked like most days. Enough for the people responsible to act on. Never the recording, never the transcript.

She decides who is on the other end of that, and she can change her mind at any time.

What anna does

Six quiet jobs. Three she notices. Three she never has to.

01 · The morning

The day starts on time.

anna wakes with the house. The forecast, the radio she likes, what is on today and the one appointment that matters. Spoken out loud, so there is no screen to squint at, no app to open, no password anyone has forgotten.

“Good morning, Margaret. It’s Tuesday. The chiropodist is at eleven.”
02 · Medication

The tablets at six, remembered.

anna keeps the schedule the care plan sets and says it out loud at the right time. If the reminder goes unanswered, the carer hears about it while there is still time to call.

“Time for the blue one, Margaret.”
03 · Connection

Everyone she needs, without a single app.

A call from her daughter or from her nurse lands on anna and she simply answers. No buttons to find, nothing to set up. Going the other way she speaks, annaOS sends it, and it arrives on her daughter’s WhatsApp like any other message. The reply is read back to her out loud.

“Robert, your nurse Michael is on the line.”
04 · Memory

It remembers she taught for thirty years.

The programme she never misses, the team she has followed since 1962, the garden, the grandchildren’s names, the classroom she ran, and where yesterday’s story left off. It learns the shape of her ordinary week too: how she sleeps, how quickly she answers, how she moves through the house.

“You were telling me about the school in Cork. Did the extension ever get built?”
05 · When something is off

The right human, first.

When the pattern drifts or a morning check-in goes unanswered, the carer hears about it before anyone else, and the family after. anna never decides on its own, and it never stands in for an ambulance or an alarm.

“Margaret didn’t respond at 8:00 AM.” (Sent to her carer, 8:12)
06 · The record

Written as it happens.

Care visit notes, medication logs and incident timelines are produced from what actually happened, so there is no end-of-shift write-up. When an inspection comes, the evidence the service has to show is already assembled and time-stamped.

One source of truth across visits, families and regulators.
