How it works

Push, talk, release

A push on the button. A structured event in your stack.

1

Worker pushes and talks.

Clipped to a vest, lanyard, or harness. The mic activates on push, stops on release. No wake word, no false triggers.
2

Audio + event leave the device.

Over Bluetooth Long Range to a paired phone or a Flic Hub Mini. Push event and audio stream both reach your backend.
3

Your AI handles the rest.

Transcribe, structure, file, dispatch. Plug into Whisper, Realtime, Deepgram, AssemblyAI, or your own model. Webhook, MQTT, HTTP, or SDK.

Drops into the AI stack you already run

For AI integrators

You ship the agent. We ship the hardware.

Same open API the Flic platform has shipped since 2014. Pair over BLE to your app on a phone, or to a Flic Hub Mini for headless deployment. Pushes become structured events; audio streams to your backend. No custom radio stack, no button to source.

Privacy is a hardware boundary, not a checkbox

No always-on listening

The mic is dead until the worker pushes the button.

Flic Mic captures audio only while the button is held. No wake-word training, no background recording, no ambient processing. The mic is off because the button is up. Provable in a one-line spec. That is the difference between a smart-home assistant and a tool a field professional will actually wear.

verified Push-to-talk only. Hardware boundary on the microphone
verified No wake word, no background processing on the device
verified Audio leaves only after the push, ends on release
verified Your backend handles retention and AI policy. We do not process voice
verified GDPR-ready by design; works inside your own data-residency rules
