ARK
FOUNDERS EDITION · 100 FIELD · 50 COMMANDThe problem
Almost everything you know how to do today depends on a connection. Maps, first aid, how to purify water, how to fix an engine: it all lives in the cloud.
A massive outage, a global cyberattack, or an infrastructure collapse is all it takes for that knowledge to disappear, right when you need it most.
AFTERNET // AI is your backup. All the essential knowledge, in your hands. No signal, no servers, no one to depend on.
Why now
In July 2024, one faulty software update knocked 8.5 million computers offline. Airlines, banks, and hospitals around the world stopped working. And it wasn't even an attack.1
In 2025, the first cyber-espionage campaign carried out largely by artificial intelligence was documented: AI did up to 90% of the work to infiltrate around 30 organizations.2
Geoffrey Hinton (Nobel Prize) and Yoshua Bengio (Turing Award), known as the godfathers of artificial intelligence, joined thousands of scientists and public figures in calling for a ban on developing superintelligence until it can be proven safe.3
No one knows whether a global digital collapse will happen, or when. But the people who understand this technology best are the ones sounding the alarm.
AFTERNET isn't betting on the end of the world. It's your insurance for the day the unthinkable stops being unthinkable.
What it does
A state-of-the-art AI that runs directly on the device. Ask it about first aid, mechanics, farming, repairs, or any practical problem, and get answers with no internet.
AI answers can contain errors. They are not a substitute for professional medical care. In an emergency, always call 911 when possible.
Millions of articles, instantly available. Medicine, chemistry, history, engineering, botany. An entire encyclopedia in your pocket.
Full navigation with no signal. Routes, streets, trails, and points of interest, even when not a single cell tower is working.
Practical survival manuals, emergency medicine guides, and thousands of classic books, ready whenever you need them.
Send and receive text messages with other kits over LoRa radio. No towers, no carriers, no internet. Range of several miles, depending on terrain.
Foldable solar panel included. As long as there's sun, your kit keeps running.

If it breaks
We thought of that.
All your knowledge lives on the card installed inside the phone, not on the phone itself. If the phone gets damaged, take the card out, move it to another Android phone and restore your kit in minutes with our included installer. The steps come printed on paper, because in an emergency, instructions can't depend on a screen.
The phone is replaceable. Your knowledge isn't.
Who it's for
For people who are already prepared and know an emergency kit without information is incomplete.
For people who travel where there's no signal: road trips, mountains, backcountry, the open water.
For people who want peace of mind: knowing that whatever happens, you'll have the answers.

Frequently asked questions
No. Everything works offline from day one.
FIELD is compact and light, made to carry with you every day. COMMAND has a big screen, days of battery life, and a projector to share information with a group.
In direct sunlight, FIELD fully charges in about 3 hours. COMMAND, with its much larger battery, needs about one sunny day for a full charge, and that charge lasts several days. Clouds increase charging time, and actual results vary.
It's a version optimized to run on the device, designed to answer practical questions and solve concrete problems without a connection. Like any AI, it can make mistakes: it does not replace professional medical, legal, or technical advice.
Yes. It's a complete smartphone; the kit adds everything you need for when there's no network.
