📋
Step 1

Choose Your Channels

Browse available channels and subscribe to the ones you care about — market updates, weather alerts, news, reminders, and more.

Step 2

Publishers Send Updates

🔊
Step 3

Katie Speaks It

Your Katie speaker receives the audio in real time and reads it aloud. The message also appears on the touchscreen display.

How is Katie different?

Katie isn't a voice assistant. You don't talk to it — it talks to you.

Voice Assistants (Alexa, Google Home)

  • You ask a question, it answers
  • Requires your attention to initiate
  • General-purpose: timers, music, smart home, trivia
  • Notifications are buried in settings, easy to miss

Katie

  • Updates come to you automatically, read aloud
  • Completely hands-free — no wake words, no prompts
  • Purpose-built for one thing: spoken notifications
  • Open platform — anyone can publish via API, SDKs, or Zapier
