Charles

Charles is an AI assistant you talk to. He runs on your own Windows computer, answers like a friendly British mate, and gets real work done: he keeps your notes and reminders, runs your online shop's admin jobs when you say so, sends coding agents to build software changes, designs 3D-printable parts, and keeps a quiet log while you're away. Add your own characters with their own voices and personalities for the rest of the household, and reach Charles from your phone through printshawp.com without opening any ports.

For small business owners and makers who'd rather say it than click it. Charles runs on a Windows PC in your home or shop, so your notes, memory and projects stay on your computer.

• Talk to him: hold to talk or go hands-free with a wake word, and he answers out loud
• Notes and reminders filed into notebooks: "note this for the shop project…", "what were my ideas for…?"
• Website and shop jobs (orders, shipping, products, messages) through the shop's admin API, always asking before anything that moves money or goes public
• Sends Cursor coding agents to build software and website changes, then reports back in one sentence
• Print lab: describe a part ("a 70 mm planter") and get a 3D-printable design to preview and download
• Away mode keeps a silent journal and runs check-ups on your projects while you're out
• Characters: add as many as you like with their own names, voices, personalities and rooms; kid-safe family rules for the ones without business powers
• Phone access from anywhere through printshawp.com, with notes and conversations synced both ways
• Links with HomePro (coming soon) for room tablets, family timers and household voice control
