Njn puts Z in your pocket. Talk to it out loud, the way you talk to a person, and it gets things done - on your Mac, in your home and across your day. Talk, don't type Say "Hey Z" or tap the orb and start talking. Interrupt any time. Z answers out loud, with a living visual interface that moves as you speak. Typing is there when you want it. One mind across your devices Pair the app with Njn on your Mac and your phone becomes its voice. The same conversation follows you from desk to pocket. Ask it to open an app on your Mac, pick up a task, or tell you how work running there is going. Your home, by voice Turn lights on and off, set scenes and check your devices through Apple Home, just by asking. Memory that stays yours Njn keeps a private memory of what matters to you - the Library of Awareness - so context carries from one conversation to the next. The more you use it, the better it knows how you work. A crew, not a chatbot Z leads a crew of agents, each with its own voice and strengths. Switch between them on command. The best models in one place Njn works with leading frontier models, and with models running locally on your own Mac, through one interface. Key features - Hands-free voice with a "Hey Z" wake word - Works with Njn on your Mac: shared conversations, apps and tasks - Apple Home control by voice - Private, persistent memory across sessions - Leading AI models plus local models on your Mac - Customizable voices, avatars and appearance - Local-first, built around privacy and speed Terms of Use (EULA): https://www.apple.com/legal/internet-services/itunes/dev/stdeula/

Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: SPUD Robot at none against Njn's 1. SPUD Robot also leads on ads (none vs shown) and iOS requirement (15.6 vs 26.0). Njn's advantage is update cadence (every 9 days vs every 48 months). On price and device support there is nothing between them.
