Apps are dead. Conversations are better.
PiqoChat is a new type of physical device/wearable. PiqoChat replaces dozens of siloed apps with one conversational interface. Connect APIs, compose menus, and act—without installing anything.
“What’s next?”
Why install apps when you can access data directly?
PiqoChat connects directly to the services you already use via secure APIs. Think banking balances, calendars, tasks, weather, inventory, IoT—rendered as editable, navigable menu nodes in a single interface.
A node-based conversational UI
Each page is a form. Each item is a node. Every node can display, edit, or act.
Node Types
- • Text Display / Info
- • Shortcut (goto: node / parent)
- • Editable Field (text/number/multiline)
- • Selectable List (single/multi)
- • Date/Time Picker
- • Slider / Range
- • Checkbox / Toggle
- • Action Button
- • Agent Node (delegates to AI/mini-agent)
- • Results Node (API/agent output)
Example Flow (Tasks)
Home └─ Tasks )-( └─ Build fence )-( ├─ 220 pcs 1200×150×20 )-( ← enter to edit │ ├─ Change Quantity │ ├─ Mark as Done │ ├─ Change Due Date │ └─ Find Shop (Agent) ├─ White paint ├─ Cut wood └─ Paint it
Say: “Increase quantity by 20” → updates to 240, persists to your tasks API, and refreshes the menu.
PiqoMarket: the API template marketplace
No app downloads. Add capabilities by enabling API templates from services you trust.
Calendars & Tasks
Google/Microsoft calendars, Todoist, Notion. Create/edit/list—right in chat.
Shopping & Services
Search stock, compare prices, place holds. Rendered as results nodes.
IoT & Home
Lights, sensors, energy, cameras via open standards. Control via menu nodes.
Finance & Ops
Balances, invoices, shipments, inventory—compose dashboards without apps.
Research & Data
Weather, astronomy, maps, knowledge bases. Filter-heavy menus become easy.
Custom & Private
Bring your own API. Conductor maps fields to nodes. Share as a template.
The Conductor
The server-side Conductor turns raw APIs into usable menus: it discovers operations, maps parameters to fields, and defines actions and result sets—so you set it up once, and just use it thereafter.
- • Auto-discovers endpoints & parameters
- • Suggests node types (text, select, date, slider)
- • Persists state & hydrates pages as forms
- • Orchestrates agent nodes for multi-step tasks
- • Works identically on device and web app
Form-as-Page (concept)
{ "page": "Create Calendar Event", "nodes": [ {"type":"text","label":"Title","key":"title","editable":true}, {"type":"datetime","label":"When","key":"start"}, {"type":"text","label":"Location","key":"location","editable":true}, {"type":"multiselect","label":"Invitees","key":"invitees","source":"contacts.api"}, {"type":"action","label":"Create Event","action":"calendar.create"} ] }
Submit once: parameters are sent, event is created, page updates with the result node.
Input that fits any hardware
Voice • Keyboard • Scroll wheel / Buttons. Editable fields display options first when available.
Voice
Speak to edit fields or trigger actions: “Increase quantity by 20.”
Keyboard
Full text entry in the web app or hardware with keyboard.
Scroll & Select
Cycle choices, adjust sliders, press enter to confirm. Bike-lock PIN UI included.
Real-world outcomes without apps
A few ways people already use PiqoChat day-to-day.
Personal Ops
Tasks, projects, due dates, follow-ups. Voice updates and bulk edits via forms.
Agent Shopping
“Find a shop for 1200×150×20.” Agent returns price, store, address—ready to act.
Research
Weather, astronomy, GIS layers—compose filters as node pages, save views.
IoT Control
One menu to view sensors, toggle devices, and log maintenance notes.
Sales & Service
Pull CRM, invoices, inventory. Create quotes via forms; send via action nodes.
Learning & Journals
Study menus, quizzes, reflection prompts. Agents generate summaries & plans.
From unboxing to “go” in minutes
- Power on & Wi-Fi: Device boots in AP mode, guide connects to home Wi-Fi.
- PIN setup: Bike-lock style digits (and optional letters) using scroll/confirm.
- Basics: Suburb, timezone, languages, interests personalize answers.
- Connect APIs: Use the web app or device to enable templates from PiqoMarket.
- Default menus: Tasks, projects, calendar, shopping, contacts.
- Tutorial: Learn checkboxes, inputs, sliders, actions—and agent nodes.
- First prompt: “Tell me what I can do with PiqoChat?”
FAQ
Do I need to install apps?
No. You enable API templates via PiqoMarket. Data appears as menu nodes.
What’s an Agent Node?
A node that delegates to an LLM/mini-agent to perform multi-step actions (e.g., search, summarize, plan).
Does it work on the web?
Yes. The PiqoChat web app mirrors the device experience and supports full keyboard input.
Can businesses publish integrations?
Yes. They can ship API templates to PiqoMarket so users can access paid services without app installs.
