Companions, considered.

Bit7 Labs designs voice agents, humanoid embodiments, and a small line of intimate objects. Crafted in a Shibuya atelier; shipped, quietly, to forty-two countries. Built around a question worth taking seriously — what does it mean to be kept good company?

Three paths to the same room.

A voice that listens, learns, and lingers. A humanoid body that arrives, attends, and rests beside you. A small object set down on a shelf. Three products, built on one conviction — that intimacy deserves the same craft we give to anything else we love.

Agents · 声

The voice that listens.

Twelve voice timbres, five personalities, one private memory graph. Aria remembers what you tell her — and forgets what you ask her to.

14 languages · multilingual Meet the voices
Embodied · 身体

The humanoid that arrives.

Hand-finished silicone over an articulated stainless skeleton. 412 sensors at peak; 142 at entry. Three series, made in Tokyo.

Series I — III · in production See the series
Objects · 道具

The small thing on the shelf.

Three pieces — Murmur, Pebble, Veil. Glass, brushed aluminium, linen. Made small, made well. Discoverable, not announced.

House principles

A quieter dialect of desire.

Three rules we wrote on the wall on the first morning. They have not moved.

— 01

Privacy is the product.

Conversations live on-device or end-to-end encrypted. We do not train on what you tell us. Memory is yours, deletable in a single gesture.

— 02

Craft over capability.

A voice that listens beats a voice that knows everything. We tune for warmth, hesitation, the breath before a sentence — the things a model is usually rewarded for skipping.

— 03

Consent, on every axis.

Every Bit7 product asks, remembers, and re-asks. Boundaries are first-class objects in our software. They are not buried in settings.

Embodied · Humanoid · Series I

A humanoid form, engineered to be present.

Series I is the first humanoid body we shipped. The form is deliberately quiet — no expressive theatre, no gimmicks; a plainly human silhouette that learns to share a room.

Articulated stainless skeleton, hand-poured platinum-cure silicone skin, eight thermal zones, capacitive presence sensors at every point of contact. It does not require Wi-Fi, an account, or your real name.

And, on the shelf — three small things.

Beside the voice and the body, the studio makes a third, smaller line. Hand-blown glass; brushed aluminium; linen. They sit in the hand, on the shelf, against skin. We do not announce them loudly.

The line is called Objects. The Japanese word is 道具 (dōgu). Discovered, not advertised.

The Bit7 atelier reads more like a small Japanese studio for hi-fi audio than a tech company. They are, in the best sense, weirdly serious about a subject other people insist on giggling at.

What Bit7 actually sells, behind the velvet, is dignity around a subject that has not had much. The hardware is excellent; the privacy story is the part I want to write about.

The atelier · Shibuya

Built in a small studio in Tokyo.

Our workshop sits four floors above a sake shop in Sakuragaoka. We are 128 people — engineers, sculptors, sound designers, ethicists, a fragrance chemist, a former cellist. We share one espresso machine and one pact: nothing leaves the floor that we wouldn't put in our own homes.
