A small desk device for the elderly and visually impaired. No phone. No screen. No buttons. Just talk — and Sil reads your letters, describes what it sees, calls your family, and remembers your documents. Built in Lahore, Pakistan. Ships 2027.
How does it actually handle sensitive documents like medical reports — where is the data stored and processed, especially the voice part?
@kymeta1ga Great question Kıymet - and exactly the right one to ask.
Documents you upload are encrypted at rest using AES-256 and are stored on your account only. They are never sent to any AI company's servers for training — not ours, not anyone else's.
For voice: the audio is processed locally on the device first (wake word detection runs fully on-device). When a query needs the cloud LLM, only the text transcript is sent — not the raw audio recording.
On the Pro plan, YeongSil uses its own native LLM, which means your query doesn't touch OpenAI or Google at all.
Medical documents are exactly the use case we designed the privacy architecture around. Your prescriptions and hospital letters stay yours. 🔒
How does it actually keep your files private when it's connected to the internet for outside answers?
@nerimanelifzkq Really important distinction to make, Neriman — thank you for asking.
When Sil needs to check the internet (weather, news, prices), it sends only your query — not your documents. Your uploaded files never leave your account to answer a web search.
The way it works: Sil checks your documents first, answers from them if it can, and only reaches the internet if the question genuinely needs current information. The two are kept completely separate.
Your documents are encrypted and stored in your private account. They are never used as context for any web request, and they are never shared with or used to train any AI model. 🔒
The hands-free call feature actually worked when I tested it, which I wasn't expecting. Wish the waitlist wasn't so long.
@ayegl48348 Ayşegül - that's so good to hear! Hands-free calling is one of those features that sounds simple but needs everything to work together perfectly - voice recognition, contact lookup, call initiation — without you touching anything.
On the waitlist: I completely understand. We're moving as fast as we responsibly can on the hardware side. Early waitlist members get 30% off at launch and first access to the OS beta in late 2026 — so being early does pay off.
Thank you for testing it and sharing this 🙏 Comments like yours keep us going.
Tried a demo at a friend's place and was honestly surprised how natural the voice replies felt, almost forgot I was talking to a device. The "answer from my files first" part actually worked when I asked about a contract clause I'd uploaded earlier.
@emirhanenetefg Emirhan — this genuinely made my day. Thank you.
The "answer from your files first" behaviour is the core of what separates Sil from a smart speaker or a chatbot. It should feel like talking to someone who actually read the document — not a search engine that found something vaguely related.
The fact that you almost forgot you were talking to a device is the exact bar we're aiming for.
If you're open to it, I'd love to have you as one of our early OS beta testers in late 2026 — people who've already experienced it and can give us real feedback before launch. Drop me a message if interested 🙏
The voice-first approach with a physical device feels like a smart move for people tired of staring at screens all day.
@makbulesal82572 Exactly, Makbule - and we think the physical presence matters more than people realise.
A chatbot you have to open is a tool. A device that's just there — on your desk, in your kitchen — becomes part of how you think. You stop reaching for your phone for every small question.
Screen fatigue is real. We wanted to build something that works with how people actually want to live, not just how apps expect them to behave. 🙏
finally something accessible without forcing grandma to learn a smartphone. love that it just listens and reads letters out loud, makes so much sense.
@doanabunaz7hyb
Doğan, this is exactly the sentence that started it all for us. A client told us his father would never use our AI — not because it wasn't smart enough, but because it required a screen and a login and a keyboard. That conversation is why YeongSil exists. Grandma shouldn't have to learn anything new. She should just be able to ask. Thank you for getting it. 🙏
