THE COMPANY
CTRLbot LLC // founded 2024
control simplified. intelligence amplified.
ctrlbot llc
CTRLbot builds software that translates human intent into system action. Two products ship today: an AI that diagnoses what is wrong by asking the right questions, and an Android app that turns a phone or tablet into a complete professional AV control system.
FIGURING OUT WHAT'S WRONG. AND ACTUALLY CONTROLLING IT.
the core ideaThe world is full of connected devices — displays, projectors, switchers, speakers, thermostats, cameras. The technology is not the problem. The problem is that none of it talks to each other, and when something breaks you are on your own with a 47-page forum thread from 2014. CTRLbot covers both halves: the intelligence to work out the fault, and the hands to operate the room.
CTRLbot.AI
A free web assistant that troubleshoots by asking questions instead of guessing. No login, no account, no ads, no tracking, no history. When a prompt already carries a pasted error or log, it skips the interrogation and answers immediately.
the ai →CTRLbot IoT
A standalone professional AV control system for Android, with a bundled driver catalog, live command testing, and a generated End User Interface. The control system is the app — no processor, no server, no laptop for normal configuration.
the app →Each product is complete on its own. Neither requires the other — and they meet at exactly one point: open the assistant from inside the app and it answers as an AV specialist.
THREE DESTINATIONS

PRIVACY POSTURE
stated plainly, including the caveats| CTRLbot.AI | CTRLbot IoT | |
|---|---|---|
| Account required | No | No |
| Analytics / tracking / ads | None | None |
| What is stored | Nothing persistent. Session text lives in server memory while the session is open and expires within the hour. The browser keeps only your colour theme. | Room configuration on the device; credentials encrypted with Android Keystore-backed storage; Android backup disabled for it. |
| External traffic | Prompt text is processed by the model provider through OpenRouter to generate the answer. | Device control goes directly to the addresses you configure and is not relayed through CTRLbot servers. Opening web content reaches external sites. |

BUILT DIFFERENT. BY DESIGN.
SIMPLICITY OVER FEATURE CREEP
PRIVACY OVER DATA HARVESTING
SOLUTIONS OVER ENGAGEMENT METRICS
we build software that translates human intent into system action.
One text box on the assistant. A generated interface instead of a blank graphics page in the app. Both products refuse the feature creep that makes this category miserable.
