Our Story

We believe the best ideas
start as speech

Orbit-1 is building voice-first tools that respect how humans actually think — messy, nonlinear, and out loud.

Typing is a
bottleneck

We think faster than we type. We speak faster than we type. Yet most of our digital tools are built around keyboards and text input. The result? Ideas get lost between thought and text. Meetings happen and decisions vanish. Brilliant shower thoughts dissolve before you can open a notes app.

We're building for a world where capturing a thought is as natural as saying it out loud.

How we think

01

Voice is the interface

The most natural human interface is speech. We design solutions that treat voice as a first-class input — not an afterthought bolted onto a text-based system.

02

Assistant, not replacement

AI should organize your thoughts, not generate them. We use AI to structure and surface what you already know — keeping you in the driver's seat of your own thinking.

03

Ship for real people

We build for the person who has an idea in the car, the manager who needs meeting notes, the founder who thinks best on a walk. Real workflows, real problems.

04

Privacy by default

Your voice notes are your thoughts. We keep them private, and never train on your data. Your words stay yours.
