1. Your free AI key

Izuki runs on Google's free Gemini. Get a key (sign in → Create API key), copy it, and paste it here. It stays on this phone only.

Other free brains (optional)

Gemini is best here — it can search the web and talk out loud. You can also let another free service answer (Groq is the fastest). Any one key is enough to start.

Who's your Izuki?

Pick a character — its own personality and voice, in chat and on calls.

2. Put Izuki on your home screen

iPhone: in Safari tap Share → Add to Home Screen. Android: Chrome menu ⋮ → Add to Home screen. It opens like an app.

3. “Hey Siri, Izuki” (iPhone — optional, skip if you want)

Optional: this makes “Hey Siri, Izuki, what's the weather” open it with your words. It's a bit fiddly — do it slowly, once, and skip it if it's confusing:

1. Open Apple's Shortcuts app (it's built into every iPhone).
2. Tap the + at the top right → then Add Action.
3. In the search box type Dictate Text → tap it. (This makes Siri listen to what you say.)
4. Tap + Add Action again → search Text → tap Text. In that text box, paste this exactly:
   📋 Copy this link
5. Now, right after the link you pasted (no space), tap the little “Dictated Text” chip that appears above the keyboard — so the line reads …?q= then Dictated Text. (It joins your spoken words onto the link.)
6. Tap + Add Action again → search Open URLs → tap it. Where it says “URL”, tap it and pick the Text from step 4–5.
7. Tap the shortcut's name at the top → rename it to just Izuki → Done.

Now say “Hey Siri, Izuki”, then what you want. Siri listens, then opens Izuki with your words. (Optional: Settings → Accessibility → Touch → Back Tap to run it by tapping the back of your phone.)

Too fiddly? Skip it — just open the Izuki app from your home screen and tap the orb. Same result.

4. Link your PC (optional)

Have Izuki on a Windows PC? In the PC app turn on Call Izuki from your phone and paste its link here. Then “play lofi on my PC”, your email and calendar, and anything else on the PC work from here too.
