Edge AI × Desktop robot

True AI-driven development,
in your hands

Runaway agents. Approval fatigue. Planetz solves both with a desktop robot built for AI development and a desktop app with a full agent harness—so your workflow changes for good.

The Body — Manta

A desktop robot built for AI-driven development

Manta is a new input device designed around AI-driven development. Approval, voice input, and agent status live on your desk in one place.

Status LCD

PROCESSING..., APPROVE?, BLOCKED—see what is happening without switching monitors.

Approve / Deny

Green to proceed, red to stop. Physical human-in-the-loop for risky actions like deploy or delete.

Voice order

Hold Talk and speak. Speech is transcribed on your machine and sent to Planetz as the agent’s next instruction—no long typing.

The Control Deck — Planetz

An AI harness for more autonomous agents

Planetz is a desktop app that manages multiple autonomous AI agents with task lanes and workflows. Built-in harness feedback reduces the cost of watching every run.

Detail

Command & Control

See parallel agents by task, log, approval queue, and recovery. You move from typing everything to directing the squad.

Harness control

Define where humans must approve in the workflow. Pair with Manta buttons to keep autonomous agents bounded.

Data sovereignty

Keep workspace, settings, and run data on your machine. Designed for teams that do not park API keys in SaaS.

Device Protocol

Manta connects over USB-C / BLE as an I/O appliance. Approve, reject, PTT, and state push on an open protocol roadmap.

Edge AI

An app built on edge AI

Planetz Desktop connects to Ollama and local STT on your PC so agents can run without sending confidential code or documents to the cloud.

Combine with Cloud when teams need a managed option at different security levels.

IDLE Local idle

Models, workspace, and approval policy stay on your machine.

LISTENING Voice orders

Inject instructions from the Talk button. STT stays local by design.

APPROVE? Physical approval

Risky steps wait until you approve on Manta.

Planetz Cloud

Cloud when you need it
Flexible operations

Cloud is the managed edition for teams that cannot host locally. The same deck experience in the browser, with a monthly discount for Manta owners.

  • Managed private node — isolated execution and always-on workflow watch
  • Browser control — enqueue, monitor, and recover without Manta on the desk
  • Data boundary — clear separation of keys and runtime for audit-friendly teams
  • Manta owner discount — Cloud at $30/mo for hardware buyers

How it works

Three layers: Cloud, Desktop app, and physical input

Planetz on screen, local LLM on your PC, and Manta for approve-and-talk—one continuous loop for running dev agents.

  1. 01

    Run agents from Planetz

    Open a workspace, assign agents, and decide where human approval is required. Enqueue, monitor, and retry from the app.

  2. 02

    Inference on your PC

    Connect Ollama or other local LLMs. Keep confidential code and docs off the public cloud.

  3. 03

    Approve and speak on Manta

    Answer “may I proceed?” with green or red buttons. Hold Talk to turn speech into a new task instruction in Planetz.

  4. 04

    Scale to Cloud for teams

    Managed private environments for members who cannot run locally—shared workspaces and unified rules.

FAQ

Questions

Can I use Planetz without Manta?
Yes. Planetz Agent Deck runs as a desktop app on its own—you approve and operate from the screen. Manta is optional hardware for safer, more ambient control.
Why use edge AI (Ollama)?
Privacy and security: run inference on your machine without sending source code or internal docs to external APIs. You can keep working offline (e.g. airplane mode) where local models allow.
Is there a discount for hardware owners?
Yes. Manta buyers get Planetz Cloud for $30/mo (regular $40/mo).
What does the Manta LCD show?
Short status text such as IDLE, LISTENING, PROCESSING..., APPROVE?, ERROR—plus ambient light for peripheral awareness.
How do local Deck and Cloud relate?
They share the same deck UX and workflows. Teams can start locally and move workspaces to Cloud without relearning the product.
