Say it naturally
Ask to turn on the lights, play something, or make an announcement. The satellite that heard you supplies the room, so Tater does not need you to repeat it.
Private AI that lives with you
One private assistant for every room.
Ask naturally from any room. Tater knows who is speaking, where they are, what they can control, and where the answer should play.

Made for real rooms
The house feels smarter when the handoffs disappear.
Tater carries the room, speaker, identity, and intent between the pieces so ordinary requests can stay ordinary.
Hear one room—or all of them
Choose a speaker, stereo pair, or mixed group. Music stays aligned while replies, timers, and announcements step in and hand the room back cleanly.
Let the room show you more
Capable screens can surface artwork, progress, weather, cameras, doorbells, and useful status while music-reactive LEDs make audio feel present.
Wake it your way
Use a built-in wake word, train your own, or let two local detectors agree before the microphone opens. Each room keeps the settings that fit it.
Music Core + Sendspin
One song. Every room lands on the same beat.
Ask for an album, artist, genre, song, or recommendation and let room context choose the destination. Sendspin keeps supported native and Echo satellites together, then hands the speaker back cleanly after Tater talks.

A day with Tater
Less app switching. More just asking.
Tater keeps the machinery in the background and the useful part close at hand.
- Morning: hear the weather, calendar, and the rooms that need attention while coffee starts.
- Heading out: ask one question about doors, lights, cameras, and who is home.
- Evening: start music in the kitchen, carry it into the living room, and let Tater answer without stopping the song.
- Any time: use the WebUI, a satellite, Little Spud, or a chat portal and keep the same assistant context.
Designed around you
Powerful underneath. Personal on the surface.
Stays at home
Your assistant runtime, speech models, memory, device state, and control center can all stay on hardware you manage.
Knows who asked
People can carry their identity, permissions, preferences, and memory between voice, the WebUI, and connected portals.
Understands the room
Room context helps Tater choose the right lights, camera, display, speaker, and follow-up microphone without a longer command.
Turns words into work
Hydra plans multi-step requests while Verbas handle concrete actions across devices, media, cameras, notes, downloads, and admin tools.
Grows when you need it
Add Portals, Integrations, and Cores only when they are useful. The base assistant does not have to carry every service.
One place to tune it
Chat, Music, Voice, devices, models, automations, system tasks, and live health share one responsive local WebUI.
