Say “Hey Basi.”
A personal AI that remembers what matters to you, talks back, and gets real work done — only with your permission.
Talk to it like a person. It handles the rest.
- Voice or text, same conversation. Hold the mic, or turn on hands-free and just say “Hey Basi”. Interrupt it any time.
- Real tools, not pretend ones. Reminders that actually reach your phone, tasks, notes, an agenda you can add to Google Calendar, and web research with sources.
- Background missions. Hand it a research job — competitors, prices, a market — and it works on the server while your phone is in your pocket, within a naira budget you set.
Done. I'll ping your phone at 4, and the 60g decision is in your toothpaste project so it's there next time.
Here's what I'd send. It goes out only if you approve.
Needs your OK · sends a message
“New price from Monday: ₦2,400 per tube. DM to order.”
A second brain you can open up and edit.
Every memory shows where it came from — something you said, something BASI inferred, or research it did. Guesses wait for your confirmation. Edit anything, see its history, forget it for good, or export the whole thing as an Obsidian vault.

It asks before it acts.
Every tool has a risk level. The higher the level, the more BASI needs from you. One button stops everything.

- Right model for the job. Titles, memory and checks go to a small fast model; only real thinking uses the big one.
- Prompt caching. Its identity and tools are cached between messages, so follow-ups cost a fraction.
- Free voice options. Your phone's own speech recogniser, plus Fish Audio's free voice model while it lasts.
- Hard caps in naira. Daily, monthly and per-mission limits. When a limit hits, it stops and tells you.
