HAI - Your AI companion, by phone
Just pick up the phone. No app. No internet. No passwords.
What it does
HAI is a voice-first AI companion you reach by calling any regular phone number - no smartphone, no Wi-Fi, no setup. You speak naturally. HAI listens, remembers your appointments, keeps track of names and numbers, and picks up where you left off last time. Built for older adults living independently, rural communities with no broadband, and anyone who finds tech more stressful than helpful. No screens. Just a conversation.

- CUCompanies use AI to take your calls. I built AI to make them for you2025 · pipervoice.com · ▲237
We're living in this weird asymmetry where companies use AI to talk to us, but we're still manually dialing them. Companies everywhere are adopting AI voice agents lately.

Hey HN, Henry from Cactus here! We previously released Cactus Needle, a 14MB agentic LLM for tool call, device use, and structured extraction for phones, wearables, smart homes, small robots and microcontrollers. We got really great feedback here, and have now incorporated the suggestions to release Needle 2. The whole model is a single 14MB binary that runs a full session in 28MB of RAM; 45m parameters at 2bit compression. Needle hits 500 tokens/sec decode speed on a Raspberry Pi 5, sits between 400-1,500 tokens/sec on VR devices like Meta Quest 3S and Apple Vision Pro, and ranges…
