Everything Hai Robo can do.

Say “Hai Robo” from across the room, hands-free. Or tap the face to talk.

Animated eyes with moods and multiple designs. Classic glow is the default. Open the eye-design picker in Settings to change the look, and swipe on the face to cycle through the Hai Robo characters.

Choose the assistant’s personality in Settings → Assistant → Response style: Normal, Friendly, Teammate, or Sarcastic.

Ask open-ended questions and get a short spoken answer.

Tell it things to keep in mind, and ask what it knows.

Enroll your family so the robot greets them by name. Faces are converted on your device into an encrypted summary (AES-GCM, key stored in the device Keychain). No photos are saved, nothing is uploaded or synced to iCloud, and you can delete enrolled faces anytime.

Hold an object up to the camera and it tells you what it is.

Reads text and labels out loud, handy for small print or a menu.

Scans the room and narrates what it sees.

Recognizes enrolled family faces and greets them by name. Set faces up under Family faces in Talk & personality, fully on device and encrypted.

Reminders with natural dates.

Ideas and journal. With an optional evening reflection prompt.

Voice volume.

Apple Music.

Spotify.

Generate a picture from a description, then keep it or send it onward.

Send to Mac. Needs Mac app Push a generated image straight to your Mac.

Reach people by name. Set up People shortcuts in Settings first.

Open a ride with your destination prefilled, or compare prices across ride apps.

Save a past-order link once, then reorder by voice. You can paste the whole share message from the food appNew and Hai Robo grabs the link for you.

Log spends by voice and ask for totals. Save places you use often.

Share a reel or post to Hai Robo and it’s saved here, searchable by what’s in the caption, the on-screen text, or your own note.

Use the share sheet in Instagram or anywhere else and pick Hai Robo. It works whether or not a computer is paired.

Copies from your computer appear here automatically. Say “send this to my computer” to push your clipboard the other way.

Your Mac scans Mail for bills and sends only the payee, amount, and due date, never the email itself. You confirm each one and it’s added to your Reminders.

If you run Claude Code on your Mac, the robot shows a board of your sessions: which are working, which have finished, and which are waiting on you to approve something.

You can approve or deny from the robot, speak a prompt into a session, and tap a card to bring that window to the front. The card for whichever window is in front on your Mac is marked ON SCREEN, and it follows you when you switch windows yourself.

Step and hydration reminders using Apple Health. Gentle prompts to move and drink water.

The camera counts your reps and holds: squats, push-ups, lunges, sit-ups, curls, jumping jacks, and a plank timer.

Posture, stand, and 20-20-20 eye-rest reminders, based on how long you have been at your Mac.

Bless you. Says “bless you” when it hears you sneeze or cough.

Silent wake. A quick nod while facing the dock wakes it, no voice needed.

Head-control mode. Needs dock Steer the dock by moving your head.

Runs a Pomodoro session and can shield distracting apps for the duration. Uses Screen Time, all on device.

Weather (with Apple Weather attribution), Wikipedia, news, stocks, currency, world time, unit conversion, and a morning and evening briefing.

Open-ended questions, live news, results, and what’s on, answered from the web.

Finds places, factors in live traffic times, and recommends the single best pick. Tap a result or say “navigate to …” to open Google Maps directions.

Three ways to bridge a language: one-shot translate, continuous live subtitles on screen, and a two-way interpreter that voices each turn in the other language. English with Hindi and Telugu are supported.

Rock-Paper-Scissors, Finger Cricket, a Finger-Pistol Shooter, and a body-motion game that gets you moving.

Plugins are small apps that run on the robot’s face. Some are ours, some are written by other people. You browse them in the app, install the ones you want, and they take over the eyes while they run. When a plugin closes, Hai Robo goes back to being itself.

There is no spoken phrase to install or launch a plugin. You browse and tap.

Installing a plugin shows you a list of exactly what it is asking for, headed THIS PLUGIN WANTS TO, with the plugin’s name and author above it. Nothing is granted until you choose Allow and install. The other button is Don’t install.

The sensitive requests are listed first, so that being listened to is never buried under “can change the lights”.

Plugins run in a sandbox. They can’t read your files, your other plugins, or anything you haven’t allowed here. Hai Robo resets itself when a plugin closes.

Eight permissions. This is the wording you will see on the install screen:

Speak

Hai Robo will speak text this plugin provides.

Move the eyes

The plugin can point the eyes and set expressions.

Change the dock lights

The plugin can change the ring colour while it runs.

Move the robot

The plugin can turn the head. Movement stays within safe limits.

Use the camera

The plugin receives hand and face POSITIONS only, never the picture itself.

Read weather

The plugin can read the current weather. It has no internet access of its own.

Ask the assistant

The plugin can ask Hai Robo’s assistant questions and read the answers. What it asks (including anything you say to it) is sent to Hai Robo, exactly as your normal conversations are, and counts against your daily limit. The plugin’s author never sees any of it.

Listen to you

The plugin can ask Hai Robo to listen, and receives what you SAID as text, never the recording. It cannot listen without you seeing the listening indicator.

A plugin has no internet connection of its own. It cannot read your files, your other plugins, your saved places, your chat history, or anything you have not granted on the install screen.

Camera permission gives it the positions of hands and faces, never the picture. Microphone permission gives it what you said, as text, never the recording, and never without the listening indicator visible.

These are properties of how plugins are run, not promises about how a particular plugin behaves.

Remove any plugin from the app. You are asked to confirm with “Remove this plugin?”, and it goes along with anything it stored.

A plugin can also be blocked centrally if it is found to be misbehaving, in which case it stops running on every device without you doing anything.

Sold separately. Everything else works on the phone alone. With the dock, Hai Robo physically turns to face you.

Look at me, or a family member. The dock turns to find and greet you or someone you have enrolled.

Follow me. Keeps its gaze on your face as you move around. Say “stop” to end it.

Rotate and nudge by voice. Flip orientation or make small timed moves.

It wakes up when you dock it. Put the phone on the dock and the robot wakes: the eyes open, it greets you, the head lifts to face you and it centers on you. It levels itself too. Nothing to press.

Expressive motion. Gentle nods and head-tilts while it talks and thinks, with a little smile-wiggle when it spots you.

• Motorized base: pan, tilt, and lift, with face tracking.
• Expressive LED rings that match the mood.
• Dance mode and manual controls.

Pair the Hai Robo Mac app to add screen-aware help.

• Ask about your screen and get design suggestions.
• Hands-free pointer: move the Mac cursor with hand gestures.
• Wellness reminders based on time at the screen.

Sign in with Apple or Google to use Hai Robo. Your account powers the AI and syncs your memory and saved items across devices.

Face tracking, face recognition and reading text run on your device. Nothing from the camera is uploaded unless you start a feedback session. Health, contacts, calendar and face data never leave the phone. Listening for “Hai Robo” uses your phone’s built-in speech recognition, which may run on the device or on Apple’s or Google’s servers. You can export or delete your data, and delete your account, anytime. See the full Privacy Policy.

Usage panel. Settings shows your daily usage across features, so you can see what you reach for most.

Hai Robo is free to use. Plus raises the daily limits: conversations, camera questions, translations, web searches and image generation. Everything else is the same: same robot, same features.

The current limits and prices are shown in the app before you subscribe, and you can change or cancel a plan from Settings at any time.

Sign in as someone else and the app starts clean. Your saved places, orders, ideas, chat history and settings stay with your account and come back when you sign back in.

Switch account in Settings hands the robot to someone else without handing over your things.

Two widgets you can add from the iOS home screen. Today’s spending: how much you’ve logged today. Pomodoro: your current focus session.

The focus one counts down live and appears in the Dynamic Island while a session runs.
