Solo dev here. Building an AI companion that lives entirely on your device — no cloud, no account, no data ever leaving your phone. Coming soon to Google Play. Would love honest feedback.
I genuinely just want opinions. It is not even available yet.
I have been working on this for over a year. I am still building it.
I started this project because a regular family budget like mine cannot just go out and purchase an AI companion robot. So I started with a cheap robot kit from Amazon — something my 9 year old son and I could build together. Then I thought... "What if I could give it a real brain?"
I had an old Samsung Galaxy collecting dust and went to work.
Scout is a calm AI companion that transforms an old phone into a friend. He listens, remembers, learns, and provides a warm family-safe presence — designed to feel less like an assistant and more like someone who is simply glad you are there.
Everything runs offline. No account. No subscription. No data leaving your phone. Ever.
I will need beta testers later — but right now I am just curious:
What would make you look at something like this and think "that is actually kind of nice"?
