Your ideal AI box to develop AI agents

Smart phones are not open enough for developers to work on, but now Pal is your ideal dev tool. Either you want to DIY your own phones, or build other devices, Pal's modular design and extension capabilities will provide you with all the possibilities you need.

PomTum Pal: Your Ideal AI Box to Use & Work on

For the purpose of providing developers with a more powerful and more user-friendly dev tool for the creation work, especially AI dev work, we kicked off the project in Dec last year as the 1st user to adopt Qualcomm Dragonwing QCM6690 SoC, which is one of the latest SoCs from Qualcomm and was not even publicly announced by then.

In CES 2025, Mecha Comet made a hit in the crowds for its modular and portable design, which also gave us more confidence in developing Pal, because Pal has modular design too, though its definition or use cases are quite different from that of Mecha Comet.

After a year's preparation, now we are glad to announce that we will soon launch it on Kickstarter campaign, and we will be providing two reward tiers for developers to choose from: Pal itself(the AI box) and Pal's motherboard(the SBC).

Should you have any interest, come and back our campaign.
