The Access Problem

When access disappears,
knowledge becomes the bottleneck.

Whether from a blackout, severe storm, wildfire, flood, cyberattack, or remote travel—when the connection drops, critical knowledge is lost.

Grid failure

Infrastructure is vulnerable. Regional blackouts and communications outages can instantly sever your connection to emergency protocols and survival guides.

Signal loss

In remote environments, there are no cell towers. You have zero access to the answers you depend on daily when traveling far off-grid.

Knowledge gap

Most people can't perform basic trauma care, purify radioactive water, or navigate without GPS. The knowledge exists, but only on servers you can no longer reach.

"When access disappears, most people don't know what to do."

Meet Iris

Not a cloud tool.
Not a collection of files.

A structured offline intelligence system, engineered to give you real answers when the tools you normally depend on are gone.

Runs locally

All computation happens on the device. No server needed, ever.

Searches locally

Vectors search across a curated, structured knowledge archive instantly.

Stores locally

Gigabytes of verified, actionable information on an internal SSD.

Works without infrastructure

No Wi-Fi. No 5G. No power grid required to operate.

How it works

Ask. Search. Act.

Iris combines a lightweight on-device language model with a curated, structured knowledge archive. The result is fast, reliable answers — no connection required.

01

Type your question

Use the physical keyboard to enter any query — medical symptoms, repair procedures, water treatment, navigation methods.

02

Local archive search

Iris scans its on-device knowledge archive — structured by topic, verified by experts, indexed for fast retrieval. No internet round-trip.

03

Structured answer

You receive a clear, actionable response with source citations. Large text, high contrast, optimized for reading under stress.

Wound Care: Field Protocol

1. Stop bleeding. Apply firm direct pressure for 10–15 min. Do not remove cloth.

2. Clean the wound. Irrigate with clean water, saline preferred. Remove visible debris.

3. Closure. Use butterfly closure strips or suture if available. Avoid closing puncture wounds.

4. Monitor for infection. Increasing redness, warmth, or pus — indicators of sepsis risk.

Powered by a lightweight on-device language model and a curated knowledge archive verified by specialists. Answers are grounded in the local archive and shown with source references where available. Answers are drawn from structured, vetted sources.

Use cases

Worst-case ready.
Useful before then.

Iris isn't a device you store and forget. It's a capability you maintain — one that becomes essential the moment normal access disappears.

Extended Blackout

Grid fails for days, not hours. Iris has the information you need — generator repair, food preservation, medical reference — when your phone is dead and Wi-Fi is gone.

Remote Travel

No signal. No maps. No cell service. Iris carries navigation protocols, wilderness medicine, and local hazard information without needing a tower within range.

Off-Grid Operations

When operating beyond the reach of cell towers, the people with actionable knowledge are the most valuable people in the room. Iris makes that person you.

Off-Grid Living

Off-grid systems require constant maintenance knowledge. Water treatment, power systems, structural repair — Iris is the reference library that doesn't need a satellite dish.

Family Preparedness

A single Iris unit covers an entire household. Medical protocols, emergency procedures, food storage — available to anyone who can type a question.

Infrastructure Failure

Supply chain disruption. Communication outage. Systemic failures happen slowly, then rapidly. Iris is the constant in a scenario where every other variable is breaking down.

Add-ons & Protection

Engineered for
the worst case.

Every add-on is built around a single principle: Iris must keep working when everything around it has failed. The accessories below address the three things that kill capability — loss of power, electromagnetic attack, and physical damage.

IRIS Faraday Case — RF shielded protective storage
Electromagnetic Protection

IRIS Faraday Case

Hardware is vulnerable to extreme conditions and localized interference.

The IRIS Faraday Case is a hardened RF-shielded enclosure. Shielding specifications are target values pending final materials testing. Designed to reduce exposure to broadband RF interference.

Shielding 60+ dB attenuation across 1 MHz–10 GHz
Construction Triple-layer EM shielding fabric, gas-tight seal gasket
Closure Gold-contact RF zipper with secondary overlap flap
Compatible All IRIS editions + backup SSDs and battery packs

Included in the Iris Continuity Kit. Available separately as a standalone add-on.

Principles

No hidden dependencies.
By design.

01

Local-first

Every function — search, inference, display — runs entirely on the device. No external request is ever made or required.

02

Low-power

Engineered for extended runtime. ARM efficiency cores, low-draw display, aggressive sleep states. Designed to run for days, not hours.

03

Curated archive

Not a web scrape. Every piece of knowledge in the Iris archive is verified by domain specialists for accuracy and actionability.

04

Repairable

Standard screws. Documented repair procedures. Replaceable battery. User-accessible SSD. Iris is designed to be maintained, not thrown away.

05

No hidden dependency

No activation servers. No license pings. No telemetry. Iris works the day you receive it and 10 years later, regardless of what has happened to the companies behind it.
