Cyrano: AI Whisper Assistant

Wear AirPods. Get AI in your ear. Cyrano translates what others say into your language and whispers reply hints when you're stuck. On-device AI. Zero cloud. Zero setup.

Cyrano is your AI whisper assistant for AirPods conversations.

When a foreign-language speaker asks something you can't follow, or when you're suddenly put on the spot for an answer, Cyrano whispers in your ear so the conversation never breaks rhythm.

—— TWO MODES ——

Mode 1: Whisper Assistant The other person speaks → Cyrano instantly summarizes "what they're asking" + "how you might respond" → it whispers the suggestion through your AirPods. No need to look at your phone. No need to type. Just listen. Use it for: business meetings, client questions, interviews, medical consultations, cross-cultural exchange.

Mode 2: Live Bilingual Translation You hear the translated answer through AirPods. They hear your reply through the iPhone speaker. Place the phone on the table facing them — both of you hear your native language. Push-to-talk and silence-detection auto-segment modes both supported.

—— WHY CYRANO ——

• On-device AI, privacy first By default, Cyrano uses Apple's built-in on-device language model (Apple Foundation Models). Conversation content never leaves your iPhone. No cloud, no logs.

• AirPods-ready, zero setup No account. No API keys. No subscription. Open and use.

• Designed for real conversation rhythm Cyrano detects when you pause and offers AI hints automatically — no button to press. Manual push-to-talk also available.

• 4 languages, instant switch Chinese, English, Japanese, Korean — toggle "their language" and "your language" right from the home screen.

• Audio routing built for two-person conversations In bilingual mode, the translated English plays through the iPhone speaker (so they can hear it), while the translated Chinese plays through your AirPods. Each side hears their own language, naturally.

—— WHO IT'S FOR ——

• Professionals talking with foreign clients, colleagues, or family • Language learners who can listen but stumble on speaking • Travelers who want real conversations, not just directions • Medical, legal, business contexts where precise cross-language communication matters • Anyone who's ever wanted an AI to whisper "say this" in their ear

—— REQUIREMENTS ——

• iPhone running iOS 18 or later • AirPods (any generation) recommended; works without them too • Best AI quality requires iOS 26 + an Apple Intelligence-compatible iPhone (iPhone 15 Pro or later)

—— ABOUT THE NAME ——

Cyrano is named after Cyrano de Bergerac — the character who hides in the shadows feeding lines to the man on stage. We hope Cyrano becomes that voice in your ear too: the one who always knows what to say.
