Habitat e1

Hold the key. Say it. Put it away.

A card the size of a credit card, with a paper screen and one key. You talk to your Envoy. It sends agents to do the work on your desk. The card tells you only what needs you.

  1. 54 × 85.6 × 7.5 mm
  2. One aluminium arc, face to face
  3. Paper on the back
  4. About 52 grams

How it works

It waits.

The time, your Envoy, and the work that needs you. Nothing else on the screen, and nothing to scroll.

Hold the key and talk.

The Envoy listens. Your words are never written back to you.

Let go. It's sent.

No send button, no review. The Envoy says what it is doing.

The answer, a screen at a time.

Hold the key again to reply.

Agents ask. You decide.

Work runs on your desk while the card sleeps in your pocket. When an agent needs you, it says so in a sentence.

One question, in plain words.

Hold the key to answer it.

Back after a while?

What happened, in one list.

Your whole desk, at a glance.

Everything running, and the pages it opened for you.

Ask for a game.
An agent makes it.

Play

Trivia on the walk home.

Your desk renders the page for paper. The card shows it.

Tap an answer.

The tap goes back to your desk, and the next screen comes back.

A five-by-five every morning.

White to move.

Hold the key and say your move.

Guess the word out loud.

Numbers, in sixteen greys.

And little apps

The weather where you're going.

The list from your voice memo.

Ticked off in the shop.

Your train, and when to leave.

Your Envoy comes with you.

Every desk's Envoy has its own face. On the card it is drawn in ink.
