MorphPod turns your phone into a natural voice conversation with Morph, your AI companion from MorphMind. Tap the orb. Morph greets you and listens. Speak naturally — interrupt anytime, change direction, follow a tangent. It's a real back-and-forth conversation, not a command line. WHY IT'S DIFFERENT • Voice-first, no typing. The orb is the whole interface. • Real conversations, not commands. Barge in, change direction, follow tangents. • Morph remembers your past chats, so you can pick up where you left off. • Tap to pause (your context is kept). Long-press to end. • Lock-screen controls so you can keep talking while the phone is in your pocket. WHAT YOU CAN DO • Think out loud on a problem and have Morph push back. • Ask for a critique of your plan before a meeting. • Practice a hard conversation out loud. • Look something up and talk through what you find. HOW IT WORKS You sign in (Apple, Google, or email), then tap the orb. Audio streams over a secure, encrypted connection for live speech recognition and response. Your MorphMind account is managed on the web at morphmind.ai. PRIVACY Microphone is only on during an active session and stops the instant you end. We don't share your data and we don't run third-party analytics or trackers. Account deletion is one tap in Settings (30-day grace period in case you change your mind). REQUIREMENTS • Internet connection (cellular or Wi-Fi) • A free MorphMind account at morphmind.ai • Microphone access Built by MorphMind. Questions or feedback: support@morphmind.ai
