You tell Anvol.
A sentence is enough. Sketches help. A model from your own AI helps more.
Meet Anvol,
your AI cofounder for hardware.
Tell it what you want to make. It tells you what it would build first and what it costs, then gets it made by its engineers and partner factories in Shenzhen.
Three things
Anvol does.
Anvol works it out.
What to build first, what drives the cost, what it would cut. Its engineers check the numbers, and you get a cost before anything is charged.
Anvol gets it made.
Samples in rounds, with test results you can read. Then production. Then a box at your door.
When it is time to build, Anvol lays out the two ways: pay for the build and own it outright, or, if Anvol believes in it, build together and share the profit.
What makes it
a cofounder.
It has a view.
It tells you what it would build first, what it would leave out, and what it costs, before you ask.
It works in the physical world.
What comes back is a board, an enclosure, a sample on your desk. Not a document.
It is connected.
Engineers and factories in Shenzhen, parts suppliers, and your own AI through the Blockless skill.
It knows the craft.
Circuits, enclosures, firmware, cost, certification. Every round comes with test results.

Built with a creator · engineering in progress
Project Play
A compact music workstation Anvol is developing with an independent creator. Engineering is under way; it has not shipped yet. The build is $3,500 and includes 10 working samples.
Before you start.
Is Anvol a person?
Anvol is an AI with real engineers behind it. It reads your idea, sketches it, and works out the cost; when it needs a number checked or a part sourced, its engineers in Shenzhen do that and Anvol reports back. Anvol is a product, not a shareholder: you own what you make.
Do I need engineering experience?
No. Describe the problem and what the product should do. Anvol asks what it needs to know, and it can design with you inside your own AI if you already use one.
What is free, and what do I pay for?
Talking to Anvol is free, and so is the cost breakdown. You pay when you decide to build: engineering, samples and production are costed for the round in front of you, and nothing is charged until you approve it. Builder is an optional membership for ongoing engineering time.
Can it make just one?
Yes. A single sample is the usual first round. Anvol tells you what it costs and how long it takes before you commit; a later production run is a separate decision.
Will my idea be public?
Your project is private to you and Anvol. Publishing a preorder campaign is a separate choice you make. Concepts made with the public concept tool can appear in the gallery, so use your project for anything confidential.

We are two makers. We built Anvol because it is the cofounder every hardware idea was missing. Read our founder notes →
What do you want to make?
Start with a sentence. Anvol takes it from there.
