Cyclon
Cyclon is building an AI-native phone with an operating system designed around an assistant that can control apps, complete multi-step tasks, and work in the background on the user's behalf. The device features a detachable camera module and can generate custom apps, such as an inbox that consolidates calls, notifications, and follow-ups. Early-access users receive a Google Pixel 8a prototype running Cyclon OS before the custom hardware ships.

Problem
Smartphone users juggle multiple apps and repetitive tasks throughout the day, often losing time to manual workflows, notifications, and context switching. Existing virtual assistants are limited to simple commands and lack the ability to autonomously operate apps or complete multi-step tasks in the background without direct user intervention.
Solution
Cyclon is building an AI-native phone that places an assistant at the center of the device, capable of controlling apps, completing tasks, and handling background workflows on behalf of the user. The assistant is designed to understand user intent and execute actions across applications, reducing the need for manual input and enabling a hands-free, proactive mobile experience. By embedding intelligence at the operating-system level, Cyclon aims to transform the phone from a passive tool into an active agent that manages routine digital work. The company is currently in development and is inviting early-access users to participate in shaping the product's features and direction.
Target Audience
Primary early adopters are tech-savvy smartphone users interested in AI-driven productivity tools and willing to test an early-stage device and provide feedback during development.
