Tao is a voice assistant with a wallet on your phone. Ask about your balance, subnets and validators, or stake TAO by saying so.
Tao reads the chain while you talk and answers in a sentence or two. Every number comes from a real query at a real block.
No sign-up. No custody. The app creates a wallet on your device the first time you open it.
A Bittensor wallet is generated in your phone's secure storage and locked with Face ID or fingerprint. Export the recovery phrase any time, or import one you already have.
Tap the orb and speak. Tao looks things up on the chain while you talk. Reading is free and unlimited, and Tao remembers what you told it last time.
Stakes and transfers are shown on screen first. You approve with biometrics, the transaction is signed on your device and sent. Nothing moves without your tap.
Talk time is prepaid in TAO. No subscription, no card, no account.
Minutes are reserved when a conversation starts and whatever you don't use goes straight back. A quiet room costs you nothing: the mic mutes itself and sessions end after 90 seconds of silence.
Add time on this site: send TAO from any wallet or exchange and it is credited the moment the transfer is final, usually within a minute.
heytao is a voice layer, not a custodian. The design keeps your keys and your money out of our reach by construction.
Our server prepares transactions as unsigned payloads. The app signs them inside the phone after your biometric unlock, and only then broadcasts. The server never sees a seed or a key.
The recovery phrase is standard BIP39. Import it into any Bittensor wallet, or bring an existing phrase into heytao.
Amount, destination, subnet and validator appear on screen before anything is signed. Cancel is always one tap.
Tao gives you on-chain data and neutral metrics like yield per alpha. It never tells you what to buy.
An unsigned transaction is valid for about 13 minutes and can be used exactly once. The app refuses to sign anything that differs from what it asked for.
The short answers. For anything else, write to realtalk@heytao.lol.
Bittensor mainnet (Finney) only. Balances, subnet data and transactions are live.
No. Your wallet address is your identity. The app signs a login challenge with your key, that's it.
Yes. Import a 12 or 24 word recovery phrase in the app. It is stored in the phone's secure enclave or keystore.
Short notes you give it, like your language, what you follow or how you like answers. You can read and delete them in the app under Wallet.
Audio streams directly from your phone to OpenAI's realtime speech model over an encrypted connection and is not stored by heytao. See the privacy notes.
All three, same wallet format. The browser version at app.heytao.lol works today with a password-protected wallet. The Android and iOS apps follow through the stores and keep the key in the phone's secure hardware.
No. heytao is an independent project. TAO and Bittensor are trademarks of their respective owners.
Free minutes to start. Your keys stay yours. Works in the browser today, on iPhone and Android soon.
