IRIS-X is not an app. It is a neural extension of your Android device.
Speak. It executes. No taps. No menus. Just intent.
IRIS-X is the mobile evolution of the IRIS AI Desktop OS. Where IRIS gave you an agentic layer over Windows, IRIS-X does the same for Android — but goes further. It physically controls your device, reads your notifications, runs background automations while the screen is off, and communicates through a zero-latency full-duplex voice interface powered by Gemini Live.
It is a closed-source, subscription-based product built for people who want their phone to work for them — not the other way around.

Powered by the Gemini Live WebRTC API — real-time, full-duplex voice that lets you interrupt mid-sentence. No loading spinners. No waiting. The conversation flows like talking to a person.
- Always-on wake word detection (
Hey IRIS) running fully on-device - Custom voice shortcuts mapped to full action sequences
- Whisper mode — detects quiet speech and adjusts TTS volume automatically
- Native TTS for all responses (zero Gemini audio cost)
IRIS-X has full dominion over the Android ecosystem via Intents and Accessibility Services.
| Capability | What it does |
|---|---|
| App lifecycle | Open, close, switch any app by voice |
| Notification commander | Read, reply, dismiss notifications hands-free |
| Hardware control | Brightness, volume, flashlight, Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, DND |
| App locker | Lock any app behind biometric or PIN via voice |
| Clipboard intelligence | Monitors clipboard, auto-suggests actions |
A visual no-code trigger-action builder. Build sequences like:
IF battery < 20%
→ enable low power mode
→ send WhatsApp to Mom: "my phone is dying"
IF I arrive at [office location]
→ silence phone
→ open Notion
→ read today's calendar brief aloud
Flows run entirely in the background. You build them once, IRIS-X runs them forever.
Every morning at your chosen time, IRIS-X auto-runs a full briefing — spoken aloud:
- Today's weather
- Calendar events for the day
- Unread priority notifications
- Your saved notes and tasks
Built using cheap text API calls + native TTS. Cost to you: near zero.
- Face App Locker — lock any app behind facial recognition
- Intruder Selfie — wrong PIN triggers a silent front-camera photo + alert to you
- Privacy Screen — detects shoulder surfers via front camera and blurs the display
- GPS Geofencing — trigger automation flows based on location zones
- Calendar Consciousness — reads your calendar and auto-preps context before meetings
- Smart Reminders — context-based, not just time-based: "remind me when I open WhatsApp"

IRIS-X is a subscription-first product designed for profitability from day one.
₹399 – ₹499 / month
To protect margins against API costs, every user receives a daily Neural Bandwidth allocation — a cap on voice minutes and command volume per day. The Vercel middleware enforces this on every request before the Gemini key is injected.
Why this works:
- Average user won't hit the cap in normal daily usage
- Power users who want more become upsell targets
- Server costs stay near zero using the edge architecture below
Cost-saving edge architecture:
- Background briefings fetch cheap text from Gemini (
$4.50 / 1M tokens) - Audio is rendered locally using the phone's native TTS engine (completely free)
- Gemini Live audio output (
$0.018/min) is used only for real-time conversation

IRIS-X is built around a zero-trust architecture. Your API keys are never stored on-device or exposed in the client bundle.
Client → sends JWT token + prompt text
(no API keys ever leave the server)
Middleware → validates subscription
→ checks daily quota
→ injects Gemini key server-side
→ forwards to Gemini
Gemini → returns response
→ middleware strips key before forwarding
→ client receives clean response
All authentication is handled via Supabase with Row Level Security enforced at the database layer.
