Connected AI means the intelligent request travels beyond the expressive hardware. Oneira's face and motion reactions can run on the device, while model, agent, and tool requests use the app, an internet connection, and compatible services selected by the owner. Those layers should not be blended into one vague promise.
The hardware supplies presence and intent
Oneira provides the character experience. A deliberate interaction can begin an optional connected request. If the network or active service is unavailable, the connected part may fail even though the on-device face still exists.
The app supplies configuration
The app is where optional compatible connected tools and services can be configured. That is also where an owner should see permission, status, and error information. A connection is not complete merely because a service name appears in marketing; the account still has to be set up and authorized.
Connected services have their own terms
Connected services differ in accuracy, availability, data controls, geography, limits, and fees. Buying the hardware does not create a permanent entitlement to every external capability. Review the active service before depending on a workflow.
The short version
- On-device expression and connected intelligence are different layers.
- The app configures optional compatible connected tools and services.
- External services keep their own limits, data controls, and possible fees.
