The loop

Four colors. One conversation.

01
Press

Tap the cap. The dome switch gives a satisfying click. tapLumo wakes up.

02
Red — Connecting

Bluetooth links to your phone and opens a fresh ChatGPT session.

03
Green — Speak

The ring turns green. The mic is live. Ask anything, naturally.

04
Orange — Reply

tapLumo streams the answer through its acoustic chamber, then returns to green.

Designed to disappear

The size of your palm.
Built to live anywhere.

A milled aluminum ring, a translucent ceramic-feel cap, and a hidden neodymium magnet. Stick it to the fridge. Drop it on the counter. Move it to the bedside. tapLumo settles into the room like it was always there.

From the Creators

We are building tapLumo to remove the friction between having a question and getting an answer.

Conversational AI is most useful when you're already doing something else — cooking, working, building, driving, learning, or thinking. Instead of reaching for a phone, unlocking it, opening an app, and starting a voice session, tapLumo gives you instant access to AI with a single tap.

Press it once.
You'll get it.

Early-bird units ship in spring. Limited to the first 5,000 backers at the launch price.
