100% On-Device Processing
Every AI inference runs on your Altbox's Jetson chip. No data is sent to any server, ever. Your voice commands, smart home data, and conversations never leave your network.
Works Without Internet
Lost internet? Alt keeps running. Your automations, voice commands, and local AI continue working because nothing depends on a cloud server.
No Telemetry
Unlike Alexa, Siri, and Google Home, Alt sends zero usage data, zero analytics, and zero recordings to any third party. We don't even know you turned it on.
Encrypted Storage
All data on the Altbox NVMe SSD is encrypted at rest. Your AI's knowledge, memories, and automations are protected even if the device is physically stolen.
You Own Your Data
Export everything. Delete everything. Your data is stored in open formats on hardware you own. No vendor lock-in, no subscription required to access your own information.
Local Network Only
Alt communicates with your smart home devices over your local network. Zigbee, Matter, and HomeKit protocols stay on-premises. No cloud relay.

“If the product is free, you’re the product. Alt is the opposite — you pay once for hardware, and your data stays yours forever.”
