Four layers, one architecture

THOX.ai LLC develops private, local-first artificial intelligence hardware and software intended to let users own, control, and run intelligent systems across personal devices without requiring cloud dependence.

1. ThoxOS™

   Runs and manages intelligence at the device layer.

2. MeshStack™

   Connects authenticated devices and compute into a distributed private AI mesh.

3. ThoxBeam™

   Models on your USB. Inference on this device's GPU. Offline.

4. ThoxWork™

   Coming Soon

   The workspace layer where humans, agents, Digital Employees, models, tools, devices, approvals, and artifacts converge.

The daily workspace, in preview

ThoxOS™ is local ownership, on every device. MeshStack™ is private distributed ownership, opt-in clustering. ThoxWork™ is the daily workspace for corporate and business teams on ThoxNova and ThoxUltra.

Your AI. Your Data. Your Rules.

Digital employees, not chatbots

Each one holds a role, a ThoxLoop seat, a privacy boundary, and a pinned device. THOXY is the front door. Ava, Mira, Kai, Sera, Nova, Helix, Rhea, and Atlas sit on the mesh. ThoxEmployee is the local employee OS for bringing your own roles and instructions into a workspace you control.

What the preview shows

• Name a job and THOXY routes it

  Finance goes to Helix, a privacy or policy review to Sera, MagLink to Nova, strategy to Atlas. The employee returns a work product on-device, or through THOX Router when it is available.

• Work is reviewed before it counts

  Open Atlas. A job sitting in judge can be Released or Returned to student. Released work can be Promoted to vault.

• One palette, one locked navigation

  The command palette reaches Home, Agents, Projects, Devices, and Vault. Mesh on in the header shows the full roster, and the default view is THOXY only.

• Every employee is pinned to hardware you own

  Select ThoxNova-01, ThoxUltra-A, ThoxUltra-B, or MeshStack-HQ and see who is pinned to it.

• The vault keeps what the team learned

  Shelves for skills, templates, knowledge, and memory, scoped HOT, WARM, COLD, or VAULT. Writes are append-only and carry a named owner.

• Prepare your team in ThoxEmployee

  Use Migration Studio to review a bot configuration you own. The local employee kernel holds roles and instructions; the supervised task workspace runs ordered team tasks and keeps written handoffs ready for review.

• Review each profile before importing

  Move a ThoxPack employee-profile file between the ThoxEmployee task workspace and the ThoxWork review surface. Inspect the roster, roles, and full instructions, then explicitly review the profiles you choose to save. The exchange is file-based.

• Keep reviewed profiles under your control

  The ThoxWork review surface keeps profiles in the current browser. Export a reviewed pack when you want to move them. Saving a profile does not register it with the backend, start tasks, or activate tools and routines.

• Review policy decisions in the audit trail

  ThoxEmployee kernel policy checks record their allow or deny result and the rule used. Export the append-only audit history as CSV to inspect those decisions. Recognized secret patterns in event details are redacted; review exported records before sharing.

Apps

Three apps. Every platform you own.

ThoxOS, MeshStack and ThoxWork run on your own hardware. Desktop is available now for ThoxOS and MeshStack on Windows, macOS and Linux. iOS, Android and on-device ThoxDevice builds are coming soon.

The kits

Three kits bundle the four devices. Each is photographed as it ships, in the finish you choose after the campaign.

• 

  Starter Kit

  1 × ThoxKey and 1 × ThoxAir

• 

  Developer Kit

  1 × ThoxKey, 1 × ThoxAir, and 1 × ThoxMini

• 

  

  Founders Kit

  1 × ThoxKey, 1 × ThoxAir, 1 × ThoxMini, and 1 × ThoxClip

  Shown in two photographs: ThoxKey, ThoxAir, and ThoxMini together, and ThoxClip in its three finishes.

These are photographs of real THOX devices. Small manufacturing details can still change during engineering, certification, and production.

• Local-first architecture
• Operator-controlled hardware
• Workflows built on explicit connections
• Capabilities depend on configuration

• How do ThoxOS, MeshStack and ThoxWork fit together?

  ThoxOS provides the runtime and device layer. MeshStack connects enrolled devices for configured private networking and compute workflows. ThoxWork is the workspace product in preview and remains Coming Soon. Available features depend on the application, release and hardware you use.

• Can I try THOX workflows before choosing hardware?

  Yes. The ThoxEmployee hosted workspace lets you arrange an AI team, run ordered text tasks and review drafts. Edge Lab lets a verified THOX account request an AI classification and inspect a proposed action. These website demos are separate from the virtual device previews and from production hardware capabilities. Current setup and limits are explained in the Support Center.

• Do the website AI demos run locally?

  Live ThoxEmployee and Edge Lab requests use hosted processing after your consent. Use public or synthetic examples and review the data-sharing notice first. Edge Lab also has a separately labeled browser sample that uses deterministic examples without a model call. Local THOX runtime and enrolled-peer deployments have their own configuration and access requirements.

• Can a website demo control my devices or send messages?

  No. The current ThoxEmployee demo produces text for review, and Edge Lab produces review-only proposals. Approving a draft, importing a profile or downloading a receipt does not execute tools, connect a device or send a message. Connected actions require a separate deployment with the appropriate permissions.

• Which products are included in this Kickstarter campaign?

  Exactly four: ThoxKey, ThoxAir, ThoxMini, and ThoxClip. Other THOX concepts and roadmap products are not Kickstarter campaign items.

• How does ThoxKey™ work?

  ThoxKey is a 128 GB native USB-C drive-resident AI runtime. Its models and engine live on the drive, while a compatible host computer supplies the compute. Nothing installs on the host; unplugging ThoxKey removes the runtime. Every unit includes a separate USB-A male / USB-C female converter for compatible USB-A host ports.

• How much storage does ThoxKey™ have?

  128 GB. That is the capacity every ThoxKey ships with at launch. Larger 256 GB, 512 GB, and 1 TB capacities are on the production roadmap and are not part of this campaign.

• Does up to 10 Gbps mean ThoxKey runs AI that fast?

  No. Up to 10 Gbps describes the native USB 3.2 Gen 2 interface, not inference speed, model performance, or latency. Real results depend on the host, model, workload, and configuration.

• How big is ThoxAir™?

  The ThoxAir body is 82.0 x 36.0 x 16.0 mm. The top-mounted circular attachment ring sits outside that measurement. The body also carries a side control stack, lower vents, bottom USB-C, a thin enclosure seam, a horizontal wordmark, and a lower green status blade.

• How is ThoxMini™ different from ThoxAir™?

  ThoxMini uses a slim rounded no-ring enclosure with a vertical ThoxMini wordmark, right-side vents and control, and a lower green status bar. It must not be shown with ThoxAir's attachment ring.

• How big is ThoxClip™?

  ThoxClip has a 101.0 x 64.0 mm face, with 1.60 mm side walls and 60.80 mm internal width. Its face keeps the 101:64 ratio, with a circular magnetic alignment ring and a small edge status readout. It clips magnetically to the back of an iPhone or other compatible mobile device and charges it wirelessly.

• Which finishes are available?

  The campaign's default finish choices are Matte Black, Space Gray, and Arctic White. Finish selection details will be provided through the Kickstarter fulfillment process.

• How many reward tiers and add-ons are there?

  There are 15 reward tiers, running from a single ThoxKey up to the Founders Kit, which is all four devices together. There is one add-on: an Extra ThoxKey, which includes one native USB-C ThoxKey and one separate USB-A port converter. Tier pricing is published on Kickstarter when the campaign opens.

• Is a kit cheaper than buying the devices separately?

  Yes. Each kit costs less than the same devices bought one at a time at their standard tier price, and the saving a kit advertises is always measured against those standard single prices rather than against an early-bird rate.

• Are the images on this site photos of real devices?

  Yes. They are photographs of real THOX devices, not renders. Small manufacturing details can still change during engineering, certification, and production.

• When does the campaign launch and when will rewards ship?

  The campaign is in prelaunch. Launch timing and estimated fulfillment windows will be published on Kickstarter and shown with the applicable reward tiers.
