A little less friction.
A little more independence.
Ask a question. Organise your day. Take the next step. BRIGGS brings voice, local AI and practical tools together—without making speech the only way in.
Windows and Android previews are in active development. Capabilities differ by device, model and permissions; important answers and actions still deserve your review.
SMALL REQUESTS. USEFUL DIFFERENCES.
Less figuring out.
More getting on.
A date you need to check. A recipe that needs adjusting. A bill to split. BRIGGS brings small, useful tools into the same place as conversation.

Split the bill.

Illustrative examples of supported 1.33 local tools, not a live demo. Use numeric amounts and the shown request patterns. Speech recognition can still mishear a request.
Your voice. Your possibilities. Your assistant.
Technology should meet you where you are. Meet BRIGGS: conversation and everyday tools, with you in control.
Illustrative animation · not live AI activity. Microphone demo reacts only to loudness in your browser; it does not record or upload audio.
A little thought. A world of possibility.
Step inside BRIGGS. Follow the connections that bring everyday help closer.
“Help me plan my day.”
A thought becomes a clearer next step.
One request can lead to the next: voice, local AI and everyday tools, working together.
Less friction. More room to be you.
Planning, conversation and music controls, side by side.
Ready when you are. On your terms.
BRIGGS is still in development. Follow along, or read what is and isn’t ready yet.

Skip the animationA visual story of BRIGGS—not live AI activity. These are illustrative requests and concept panels, not a claim that one request runs every tool.
Say Kev or Kevin with the male profile, or Lisa with the female profile. Prefer to type? That remains your choice. Listening needs microphone permission, and recognition can make mistakes.
Choose a shorter or simpler answer, take a longer pause, and review supported actions before proceeding. You remain in control.
INSIDE THE EXPERIENCE
A clear path.
From request to response.
The sphere is the visual centre. Behind it, BRIGGS brings input, local tools and review controls into one place. Here is the idea in plain English.
Make a request.
Speak through an enabled microphone, or type. Listening preferences let you choose a more comfortable pace in supported flows.
Find the right route.
A supported calculation can use a direct local tool. Open-ended questions can use a configured local AI model.
Keep the choice.
Supported sensitive actions keep their review and permission steps. A suggested message is not permission to send it.
Read. Listen. Refine.
Review the reply, hear it aloud, or request a shorter or simpler explanation. Stop the response whenever you need to.

CURRENT PREVIEWS / WINDOWS 1.33 · ANDROID 1.36
Useful tools.
Honest limits.
What is in the current Windows and Android previews—not a promise of identical features on every device.
More ways to talk.
Voice and typed input, selectable male and female voices, speaking pace and a reversible warm-delivery option.
Warm delivery changes pacing; it is not an emotion-trained voice model.
A little structure.
Local task and shopping lists, guided checklists and supported reminder workflows.
Planner dates are labels, not alarms. Checklist steps are not automatically executed.
Answers at your pace.
Optional local AI, quick calculations, answer review and options to repeat or simplify ordinary answers.
Answers can be wrong. Source retrieval and citation checks do not guarantee accuracy.
Help with the next step.
Supported media-session controls and opt-in Android notification reading and approved reply workflows.
App support and permissions vary. Message sending retains confirmation and unlock safeguards.
A preview, not a finished promise.
Physical-device, headset, screen-reader and disabled-participant testing still have work outstanding. A polished interface does not mean every workflow is ready for every person.
ONE IDEA. TWO DIFFERENT PLACES.
At your desk.
Along for your day.
The same ambition on Windows and Android: make useful help easier to reach. Each edition works within its device’s capabilities and permissions.
WINDOWS PREVIEW
Room to think.
Tools to work with.
Bring typed or spoken questions, local AI and practical tools into a desktop workspace.
- Search pages and controls from the control centre.
- Use offline calculations, planner tools and answer review.
- Choose the optional NVDA answer-reading integration.
- Try the restricted, opt-in Hermes panel for working with pasted notes.
NVDA requires a separate installation. Hermes is a bounded notes workflow, not unrestricted computer control.
ANDROID PREVIEW
Help closer
to hand.
Use voice or text, set a comfortable listening pace and keep everyday tools within reach.
- Choose voice and speaking-speed preferences.
- Opt into supported notification-reading workflows.
- Use supported media controls and DJ Mode.
- Let BRIGGS yield the microphone when another app needs it.
Messaging and music support vary by app. Replies retain confirmation and unlock safeguards; background behaviour depends on Android.
AN INTERFACE WITH A PURPOSE
One calm place.
More ways forward.
The interface should help you understand what is happening—not become another thing to learn. BRIGGS keeps conversation at the centre and puts additional controls within reach.
- 01See the response, not just hear it.
Read written answers and use typed input when speaking is inconvenient, tiring or simply not your preference.
- 02Open the tools when you need them.
Android’s expandable Actions menu brings together voice settings, accessibility preferences, everyday tools and the control search.
- 03Make the experience less busy.
Use larger text and reduced motion. Set your voice and speaking pace without making the animated interface a requirement.
THE THINKING BEHIND THE CORE
Local where possible.
Your choice where it matters.
Not every useful answer needs a trip to the cloud.
BRIGGS can run supported AI models and everyday tools on your own device. Simple calculations can take a direct local route instead of waiting for a model to generate an answer.
That does not make the whole application offline. Online features contact their services, and device memory affects which models can run. Important answers still need your judgement.

THE REASON BEHIND BRIGGS
Built from
a personal reason.
Joseph Kevin Briggs started this project with his disabled mum in mind—and the everyday barriers that can make technology harder than it needs to be.
The ambition is broader independence, shaped by the people who will actually use it.

Our visionA FEW THINGS WORTH KNOWING
Curious?
Start here.
Clear answers before you decide whether BRIGGS is for you.
Is BRIGGS ready for everyone to rely on?
Not yet. Windows 1.33 and Android 1.36 are development previews. Automated and emulator checks help find problems, but wider physical-device testing and feedback from disabled users remain important work ahead.
Do I have to use my voice?
No. Typed input remains an option. You can choose how you interact, change speaking pace and use supported listening settings. Voice recognition is helpful, but it is not perfect.
Does everything stay on my device?
Local models and local tools run on the device. Some features use online services, and local settings or history may be stored. The terms explain these distinctions; “local AI” should not be read as “nothing is ever stored or sent”.
Will it run equally well on every phone or computer?
No. Available memory, processor performance, the selected model and operating-system restrictions all matter. Low-end hardware, battery use and long sessions still need broader testing.
What will it cost—and can I fund it now?
Future pricing is not confirmed. The funding page explains a proposed £80,000 development campaign, but its payment service is not connected and contributions are not open. There is no purchase or investment offer on these pages.
