Been working on something new with DriveMate and wanted to share it.

We’ve now connected the DriveMate system with our relay server and Mac agent, so a voice request can move through the system and the agent can actually carry out tasks, not just answer questions.

We’re calling it DriveMate AgentMesh.

One voice. Real action. Anywhere.

DriveMate originally started as an AI voice assistant for the car, so it’s pretty cool seeing it grow into something much bigger than where it started.

DriveMate is finally live on the Apple App Store.

This has been a long road — building, testing, fixing bugs, rebuilding, submitting, waiting, and then doing it all again.

The idea behind DriveMate was simple: create an AI voice assistant for the car that lets you use AI without looking at your phone or touching the screen.

It’s still early, and there’s a lot more I want to improve, but getting the first iOS version online is a big step.

Thanks to everyone who helped test it, gave feedback, or supported the project along the way. I really appreciate it.

Took DriveMate out for another real road test today.

No renders, no studio setup, no concept shots. Just the working DriveMate beta prototype being tested in a real car, on real roads.

DriveMate is a pocket-sized, USB-C powered AI voice assistant built for drivers who want quick spoken answers without touching their phone or adding another screen.

The idea is simple:

Ask a question.
Hear the answer.
Keep driving.

I’ve been testing the voice flow, cloud relay, speaker output, setup process, and overall in-car experience in real-world conditions.

Still improving. Still testing. But seeing it working on the road makes all the late nights worth it.

DriveMate is getting closer every day.

DriveMate is live on Kickstarter.
This is the real working beta prototype: USB-C powered, built-in speaker, Wi-Fi setup, and hands-free AI voice replies for the car.
I’ve been building and testing this from the ground up, and now I’m looking for the first early access beta backers.

A pocket-sized, USB-C powered AI voice assistant for cars, built for hands-free questions, spoken answers, and beta feedback.

What if ChatGPT could ride with you?

That idea became DriveMate — a real hands-free AI assistant built for drivers.

Say “Hey Mate,” ask a question, and it answers out loud through the speaker.

From an idea to a working prototype, this is the first step toward making driving smarter, safer, and more connected.
