Hai Robo — Feature Guide
Your voice companion for the desk. Tap the eyes or say “hai robo”, then just ask.
1 · Getting started
First launch walks you through sign-in and a quick setup. After that:
- Sign in with Apple or Google — required to use the AI (chat, search, vision, translate). Your places/orders/memory sync to your account.
- Talk: tap the eyes once, wait for the chirp, then speak. Tap again or pause to send.
- Hands-free: say hai robo to wake it (when always-listening is on). Wake-word detection runs on your device.
- Settings: long-press anywhere on the screen to open the panel.
2 · Talk & ask anything
Ask questions, get short spoken answers. Examples:
“tell me a joke”“what’s the capital of Japan”“explain photosynthesis simply”
Real-time / web answers
For live info it searches the web automatically:
“who won the match today”“latest news on …”“weather tomorrow”
3 · Weather
Local or named-place forecast (Apple WeatherKit).
“what’s the weather”“weather at home”“will it rain tomorrow”
4 · Timers, alarms & stopwatch

5 · Calendar & reminders
Reads your calendar and creates reminders (asks permission first).

6 · Memory
Tell it facts to remember; it personalises future replies.

- book a cab home
- uber from office to home

9 · Saved food orders most detailed
Re-order food/groceries by voice. None of these apps (Swiggy, Zomato, Blinkit, BigBasket) let outside apps fill a cart directly, so Hai Robo saves a link to your order (or a shopping list) and opens it in the app — you just tap Checkout. Two modes:
Mode A — Save an order link (best for “repeat my usual”)
- Open the food app (e.g. Blinkit) and build the cart you want, OR open a past order / “share cart” screen.
- Get the link. Tap the app’s Share button (or copy the URL from the order page). Copy it. This is a “universal link” that re-opens that exact cart/order.
- In the share sheet, tap Copy.
- In Hai Robo, long-press → Settings → Your data → Saved orders.
- Name it (e.g. weekly, pizza).
- Pick the app in the segmented control (Swiggy / Zomato / Blinkit / BigBasket).
- Paste the link into “Paste past-order link”.
- Tap Save URL order.
- Use it: say order weekly → Hai Robo opens that link in the app → tap Checkout.
Mode B — Build a shopping list (cycles item-by-item)
No link needed. Hai Robo opens each item in the app’s search, one at a time.
- Settings → Saved orders → set a Name + pick the app.
- Under “OR build a shopping list”, type an item + quantity → tap +. Repeat for each item.
- Tap Save list.
- Use it: say order weekly groceries. Hai Robo shows “1× milk”, opens the app’s search for it → you tap Add, swipe back → the next item opens automatically, and so on through the list.
Edit / delete
In Saved orders: tap the pencil on a list to re-open it in the editor; tap the trash to delete. You can also say add eggs to weekly.
10 · Translate, subtitles & interpreter
One-shot translate
translate from hindi → it says “go ahead”, you speak, it replies in English.
Live subtitles
subtitle mode → continuous Hindi→English captions on screen (great for meetings/TV). Tap Stop to end.
Two-way interpreter
interpreter mode → speak English or Hindi; it translates each turn aloud the other way. Tap Stop to end.
11 · Image generation
Make a picture from words; it appears full-screen.
“show me an image of a cat astronaut”“generate a picture of a sunset beach”“provide me an image of a robot”

A Pomodoro focus timer that can shield distracting apps during a session (Screen Time).
