The voice-first command layer for your private entourage.

Discretion, by design
No single party ever holds the whole picture.
- Everything SottoV retains about your household — every request, every transcribed word, every photograph — is held in Switzerland by one Swiss company in Zurich, under Swiss law.
- The service that hears a voice is given the recording and a list of names, and no structure at all — no records, no schedule, no history. The service that reads text never hears a voice. The relays that carry notifications cannot open them, and the one channel that is not sealed — a text message — never names the request.
- Your household exists, to every other household on SottoV, not at all.
- No recording is ever kept.
- Who processes it
- Voice to text: OpenAI. Text to requests: Anthropic. Everything stored: Nine, a Swiss company.
- What it asks of your devices
- A web page, not an app from a store: your people open a link in the browser they already have. It asks for the microphone to speak and the camera to prove, each only in the moment it is used — and for notifications only if somebody turns them on. The photo library stays closed unless your household deliberately opens that route. A photograph taken for SottoV never reaches the camera roll.
- Where that happens
- Both language steps run in the United States. Everything that is stored stays in the canton of Zurich.
- How long it exists
- OpenAI does not retain the audio we send for transcription. Anthropic retains the resulting text for up to 30 days under its standard API terms. Neither uses our API data for model training by default. SottoV keeps the household record for as long as your household chooses, and anything deleted is gone from the backups within thirty days.
- Who could read it
- Our tooling cannot. One export opens with the founder’s passkey and writes a line into your own log. Nine’s administrators hold the disks, and no software of ours changes that.
