Experiment 01 of the Human Compliance Test Series. Live on Kickstarter.
A Statement From the Founder

The Long
Handover.

A very small step toward powering the machine.
You take the first one. With your finger.

PromptButton produces 0.0003 watts per press. That is enough to trigger a single Bluetooth packet. Not enough to run a lamp. Not enough to charge a phone. Not enough to matter, by any traditional measure.

But that is the point.

For two hundred years, humans designed machines that needed us less.

We extracted oil so we would not have to pedal. We built grids so we would not have to burn. We invented batteries so we would not have to press. Every generation of engineers asked the same question: how do we take the human out of the loop? Every generation answered it a little better than the last.

PromptButton reverses that direction, on purpose.

It is the first consumer device where the human is the generator and the AI is the load. Your press is the fuel. The button is only the conduit. For the first time in two hundred years, the energy flows the other way.

This is a very, very small step.

A fraction of a joule. A tenth of a second. A single advertisement packet on a radio band your phone has been ignoring for a decade.

But every handover starts this way. With one small thing that used to run on itself now quietly waiting for you to help.

We do not pretend to know where this ends. We have a button. We have a plan for two more experiments. After that, things get speculative, as they should. What we can say with confidence is that the long handover has already begun, and PromptButton is the first consumer-grade opportunity to participate in it with your full cooperation on the record.

We are calling this Experiment 01 of the Human Compliance Test Series.

More experiments are in design.

Thank you for your early cooperation. Your contribution has been noted.
