About

We build AI you can wear.

Pinclaw is an open-source, clip-on AI voice device — designed to make frontier AI models part of your everyday life, without a screen getting in the way.

Our Story

We started Pinclaw because we believed the best AI experience shouldn't require staring at a screen. Voice is the most natural interface — it's how we communicate, think out loud, and get things done.

Most AI wearables are either overpriced, locked into a single ecosystem, or try to do too much. We took a different approach: a tiny clip that connects to your phone, runs frontier models (Claude, GPT-4o, Gemini), and stays out of your way.

Pinclaw's core is open — hardware schematics and the OpenClaw protocol and plugin SDK are public and hackable. The firmware, iOS app, and cloud are proprietary but well-documented. We believe personal AI should be transparent and owned by the people who use it.

The Team

Small team, big ambition.
