Frequently Asked Questions

Nexting is a clip-on AI voice device. You clip it onto your collar, pocket, or bag strap, and talk to it — it talks back. It connects to your iPhone via Bluetooth and uses frontier AI models (Claude, GPT-4o, Gemini) to handle tasks hands-free. No screen needed.

Phone assistants like Siri are locked into a single ecosystem with rigid commands. Nexting uses the most advanced AI models available, supports natural conversation, and can access your calendar, contacts, health data, smart home devices, and more — all through a single voice interface. It's always accessible without pulling out your phone.

Ask questions, set reminders, manage your calendar, send messages, control smart home devices, get health summaries, navigate, generate images, play audio — all by voice. Nexting also supports custom AI agents and skills through the OpenClaw plugin system.

No. Nexting is intentionally screen-free. It uses voice as the primary interface to keep you present and hands-free. You can check conversation history and manage settings in the companion iOS app.

Nexting supports Claude (Anthropic), GPT-4o (OpenAI), and Gemini (Google). You can switch between models or let Nexting choose the best one for each task with the Pro subscription.

Download the Nexting iOS app, create an account, then press the button on your Nexting device to enter pairing mode. The app will find it automatically via Bluetooth. Scan the QR code on the device to activate. Setup takes about 2 minutes.

The Nexting clip device, a USB-C charging cable, and a quick start guide. The device comes with a built-in clip — no additional accessories needed.

Nexting is designed to last a full day of typical use on a single charge, and recharges over USB-C. We'll publish tested battery and charge-time figures as we finalize the hardware.

The current build is a 3D-printed enclosure with no IP rating, so keep it away from water for now. It handles everyday use, but don't submerge it or expose it to heavy rain.

Nexting requires an iPhone running iOS 17.0 or later. Android support is on our roadmap.

The Nexting hardware clip is $129 (originally $169 — early bird pricing). The Pro subscription is $29/month ($279/year) and includes access to all AI models, cloud sync, voice history, and usage analytics.

Pro ($29/month or $279/year) includes managed access to all supported AI models (Claude, GPT-4o, Gemini), priority support, and cloud features like voice history and usage analytics.

Yes. Download the Nexting iOS app and use it with your phone's microphone — no hardware required. When you're ready for the hands-free experience, order the clip.

Yes. We offer a 30-day return policy for the hardware clip. If you're not satisfied, return it for a full refund.

No. Nexting only listens when you press the button or use the wake word. Audio is streamed for transcription and immediately discarded — we do not store raw audio recordings.

Voice is transcribed via our secure cloud STT service (Whisper), then sent to the AI model you've selected. Raw audio is never stored — only the transcribed text. We never sell your data.

Health data accessed through HealthKit is processed locally on your device. It is never sent to our servers or shared with third parties, in compliance with Apple's HealthKit guidelines.

Yes. Nexting uses the OpenClaw plugin system — an open standard for AI agent tools. You can write plugins in TypeScript that add new capabilities to your Nexting, from home automation to custom APIs.

The OpenClaw protocol and plugin SDK are open source. The firmware, iOS app, and cloud infrastructure are proprietary but well-documented.

Advanced users can run local models through the OpenClaw plugin system. The plugin SDK is open source and supports custom AI backends.
