Why I built MILO

Builds and uses MILO daily
On iOS, Siri has true hands-free, system-wide voice. No other assistant has that. The catch: Siri isn’t very smart. The models I rely on — GPT, Claude, Gemini — are locked behind taps you can’t make while driving.
So I wired Siri to those models. I used it every day in the car and on the move. I wasn’t planning to release it.
The wait for a smarter built-in Siri kept slipping. I’d rather give you the bridge today: Siri voice to real AI. That’s MILO.
If Siri has ever answered with a web search while your hands were full — that’s exactly why MILO exists. Built in public, used daily by one person.
