Grovety
Grovety is redefining human-device interaction by enabling real-time, voice-based conversation directly on microcontrollers. Built on a foundation of automatic speech recognition (ASR), neural text-to-speech (TTS), and small language models, Grovety transforms everyday electronics into intelligent systems that can hear, understand, respond, and take action instantly without relying on the cloud. Its conversational loop—hear, understand, respond, act—provides a compact and reliable foundation for real-world deployment, replacing traditional interfaces like buttons and menus with natural dialogue. Through solutions such as SoundGuard, VoxControl, TinyTTS, and TinyStories, Grovety brings presence and understanding to devices across applications including safety monitoring, robotics, and education. By prioritizing simplicity, privacy, and human-centered design, Grovety is advancing a future where microcontrollers evolve from passive hardware into active conversational partners embedded seamlessly into everyday life.

On-Device Appliance Troubleshooting
This use case demonstrates a fully on-device, voice-driven troubleshooting assistant for appliances, such as a washing machine, creating a natural interface between the user, the appliance, and a trusted domain knowledge base. Instead of navigating manuals or memorizing commands, users can simply speak to the machine to diagnose issues and receive step-by-step guidance in real time. The system is designed to be deterministic and extractive, meaning every response is grounded in verified appliance data and produces only valid, predictable outputs. Operating entirely offline, it delivers low-latency interaction without cloud dependency, ensuring privacy and reliability. By constraining all interactions to a predefined, testable domain, the assistant eliminates hallucinations and guesswork, enabling safe, controlled execution that is well-suited for mass-market consumer devices.
