Frequently Asked Questions

Everything you need to know about Nexting.

Product

What is Nexting?

Nexting is a wearable AI agent dispatcher. Clip the $129 Nexting PIN to your collar, pocket, or bag strap, hold to talk, and dispatch tasks to the agents you already use — Claude Code, OpenClaw, and Codex. Your agent runs in the background and results come back when ready. It pairs with your iPhone over Bluetooth. No screen needed.

How is Nexting different from a phone voice assistant?

Siri answers questions; Nexting dispatches work. You say one sentence — research, a draft, scheduling, a task for your agent — and your own agent (Claude Code, OpenClaw, or Codex) finishes the job in the background, then the result comes back to you. Your phone can stay locked the whole time. It's dispatch, not chat.

What can I do with Nexting?

Dispatch tasks by voice: notes, scheduling, research, drafts, reminders, and task delegation to your agents. Remote-control a running Claude Code session from your pocket — see what it's doing live, answer its prompts, keep it running. Nexting also integrates with iPhone Calendar, Reminders, Contacts, HealthKit, and HomeKit, can send your voice straight into a Feishu group, and extends your agents with skills from ClawHub or GitHub.

Does Nexting have a screen?

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.

What is the Nexting Ring?

The Nexting Ring is our flagship form factor, with the same agent-dispatch capabilities as the PIN — raise your hand, say one line, and dispatch an agent without taking anything out of your pocket. A refundable $1 reservation becomes a $50 launch credit, with estimated fulfillment around Christmas 2026.

Which AI models and agents does Nexting support?

Two paths. Bring your own agent (free, no monthly fee): Nexting integrates deeply with Claude Code, OpenClaw, and Codex — the agents you already run. Or Nexting Pro ($29/month or $279/year): an optional managed tier with Claude, GPT-4o, and Gemini, zero setup.

Hardware & Setup

How do I set up Nexting?

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.

What's in the box?

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

How long does the battery last?

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.

Is Nexting waterproof?

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.

Which devices are compatible?

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

Pricing & Plans

How much does Nexting cost?

The Nexting PIN is $129, shipping now with free worldwide shipping. Connecting your own agents (Claude Code, OpenClaw, Codex) is free — no monthly fee. Nexting Pro, the optional managed tier (Claude, GPT-4o, Gemini), is $29/month or $279/year.

Do I need a subscription to use Nexting?

No. The Bring Your Own Agent (BYOA) tier is free — connect Claude Code, OpenClaw, or Codex and pay no monthly fee. Nexting Pro ($29/month or $279/year) is optional, for people who want a managed agent with Claude, GPT-4o, and Gemini and zero setup.

What's included in the Pro subscription?

Nexting Pro ($29/month or $279/year) is the optional managed tier: hosted access to Claude, GPT-4o, and Gemini with zero setup. If you already run Claude Code, OpenClaw, or Codex, you don't need Pro — the bring-your-own-agent tier is free.

Can I try Nexting before buying the hardware?

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 PIN.

Is there a return policy?

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

Privacy & Security

Does Nexting record everything?

No. Nexting only listens while you hold the button to talk — there is no always-on microphone and no wake word. Audio is streamed for transcription and immediately discarded — we do not store raw audio recordings.

Where does my data go?

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.

Is my conversation end-to-end encrypted?

In bring-your-own-agent modes, end-to-end encryption is enabled by default: conversation content is encrypted between your phone and your own machine, so the cloud relay carries ciphertext it cannot read. Managed Nexting Pro sessions are not E2E because the managed service processes the request.

Is my health data safe?

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.

Developers & Extensibility

Can I build custom skills for Nexting?

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.

Is Nexting open source?

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

Can I self-host the AI backend?

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