## What is Penyo by Embasis?

Someone to text. Someone to call. AI that runs on your iPhone.

Penyo is a private AI companion built around two things you already know how to use: messages and phone calls.

Pick who you want to talk to — a close friend, partner, study buddy, creative friend, or something of your own — then start a conversation.

TEXT LIKE A FRIEND

Send messages naturally, share photos with supported multimodal models, and keep your conversations available on your device.

CALL ANYTIME

Start a voice conversation just like making a call. Speak naturally, hear a response, and keep going turn by turn.

Choose from supported high-quality voices installed on your iPhone.

MAKE THEM YOURS

Choose a name, relationship style, personality traits, interests, and voice.

Your companion can be warm, playful, thoughtful, curious, direct, or whatever fits you.

LOCAL AI

Supported AI inference runs directly on your iPhone using local models from Apple, Liquid AI, and Google.

No hosted Embasis AI inference server is required for your conversations.

Some models may require an initial download, and availability depends on your device.

SIMPLE BY DESIGN

No feeds.
No followers.
No complicated AI dashboard.

Just Messages, Calls, and someone to talk to.

Built by Embasis.
