Plug it in. That's the whole install. Everything below happens on the touchscreen. You won't need a computer, an app or a cloud account.
In the box
- PHNTM One: Raspberry Pi 5 (8 GB) in a 10.1″ touchscreen enclosure with a speaker
- USB microphone for tap-to-talk
- Mini wireless keyboard with a thumb touchpad (its USB receiver is already plugged in)
- 27 W USB-C power supply
- A printed quick-start card, and a business card with this unit's serial on the back
First boot, step by step
- Plug it in. Connect the 27 W USB-C power supply. That's the whole install. The screen lights up within seconds.
- Let it prove itself. It runs a six-check boot self-test and, when it passes, says out loud that it's ready and that Private mode is on, about a minute after power-on.
- Walk the on-screen setup. Eight short steps on the touchscreen: language, network (Ethernet needs no setup; Wi-Fi is optional), time zone, a name for the assistant, the username and password that become this device's login, your phone (optional), the Private-or-Boosted brain choice, and voice on or off.
- Say hello. Type, or tap the mic and talk. No cloud account, no app store and no computer are needed at any point.
Good to know from day one
- Private mode is the default. Nothing you say leaves the box. Unplug your router and it keeps working, and we encourage you to try exactly that.
- Changing Wi-Fi later (new router, new house): ≡ menu → Wi-Fi settings.
- The full manual lives on the device at
/docs, along with your unit's own burn-in certificate at /docs/certificate. Both work offline.
Still stuck?
Email [email protected] with your serial (it's on the back of the business card). You get the person who built your unit, not a queue.
