ThoxKey: Learn more
A 128 GB native USB-C drive-resident AI runtime. Models and engine live on the drive; a compatible host supplies compute. A separate USB-A converter is included.
Your AI. Your Data. Your Rules.™
Private AI as a system, not a single endpoint.
THOX™ combines purpose-built models, personal devices, local execution, private networking, and human-controlled AI workspaces into one architecture.
Four local-first THOX devices keep the runtime and the workflow on the hardware you control. Meet ThoxKey, ThoxAir, ThoxMini, and ThoxClip.
The Kickstarter campaign is in prelaunch.
Meet the family
ThoxMini: Learn more
A compact no-ring THOX device with a slim rounded body, vertical wordmark, side controls, and a lower green status bar.
ThoxAir: Learn more
A compact wireless THOX companion with an 82 × 36 × 16 mm body and a separate top attachment ring.
ThoxClip: Learn more
A magnetic wireless charging THOX device with onboard compute that clips to the back of your phone. 64 × 101 × 11.8 mm.
Three 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.
ThoxOS™
Runs and manages intelligence at the device layer.
MeshStack™
Connects authenticated devices and compute into a distributed private AI mesh.
ThoxWork™
Coming SoonThe workspace layer where humans, agents, Digital Employees, models, tools, devices, approvals, and artifacts converge.
Compute should move to the user's data whenever practical — not require the user's data to move to remote compute.
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.
One local-first system
MeshStack™ connects compatible THOX devices and machines and coordinates local workflows across them. Capabilities depend on the devices, host, and configuration in use.

Architecture before benchmarks.
We describe what each device does and we keep interface specifications separate from performance. Final capabilities, compatibility, and delivery estimates will be stated with the campaign rewards.
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 20 Gbit/s mean ThoxKey runs AI that fast?
No. 20 Gbit/s describes the native USB-C 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 is 64.0 x 101.0 x 11.8 mm, with 1.60 mm side walls, a 1.20 mm front lid, a 1.20 mm rear floor, 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.
Four devices. One campaign.
