Hardware track
AIPC Companion Drone
A separate product track running alongside the app. Silver Prime on your phone is the AI brain — the drone is a sensor and actuator peripheral. No hard dates: phases ship when they're ready, not when a calendar says so.

AIPC · Phase 1Planned
Concept & Integration Design
Define the ring/toroid form factor, hidden-rotor housing geometry, and palm-size target weight. Specify the Wi-Fi Direct protocol between drone and Silver Prime app. Design the RTSP video pipeline, microphone array routing, and speaker integration. Specify the shoulder platform harness: magnetic landing pad, wireless charging coil, USB-C backup port, slim carbon fibre cross-body strap. No physical hardware — software architecture and interface contracts only.

AIPC · Phase 2Planned
Prototype Hardware
First physical unit: 130 mm carbon frame, four internally-ducted rotors with recessed vent outlets, HD camera module, GPS receiver, flight controller, slim LiPo pack. Silver Prime app receives live RTSP stream and exposes drone controls — no second app, no second AI. Shoulder platform prototype: circular magnetic charging pad, cross-body harness fit testing.

AIPC · Phase 3Planned
Flight Validation & App Integration
Flight-test the sub-250 g target — users must check and follow local drone registration laws for their region. Validate 10–15 minute flight time, altitude hold, GPS return-to-home. Harden the Silver Prime ↔ drone Wi-Fi Direct handshake. Close-beta with a small group of waitlist members.

AIPC · Phase 4Planned
Production & Commercial Launch
Manufacturing partner, FCC / CE compliance, packaging, and worldwide fulfillment. Kickstarter Early Bird units ship first, followed by all other tiers in backer order. Estimated Q1 2028. Silver Prime Lifetime Power User feature — all units ship with Silver Prime pre-installed, no subscription required.
