The Orb is a smarter magic ball. Speak or type your question, give your device a shake, and see what answer comes back. If AI is available on your device, The Orb uses it to generate even more interesting answers. It is quick, playful, and always ready with a response, though not one to take as advice. Choose from a variety of answer vibes: • Cheeky: lightly snarky and playful • Mystical: dreamy and fortune-like • Silly: goofy and unpredictable • Sweet: warm and encouraging • Dramatic: grand and over-the-top Whether you want a laugh, a little drama, or a suspiciously confident answer, The Orb is ready.
