# E:MERGENCE LLC > E:MERGENCE builds voice-first AI products that do real work and hand back reviewable proof: E:Voice (a mobile agentic harness for Android — a hands-free communication app for talking with your AI agents), AERIS OS (desktop agent orchestration), the AERIS Node (a portable knowledge graph every paired agent shares), Charles (a multi-runtime coding agent), and Roofer Buddy (voice-first AI for roofing field work). E:MERGENCE is an independent American company founded by Dan Riding, a roofer who started building the tools he needed on the job and kept going. The distinguishing idea across the product line is that you bring your own AI: pair external runtimes — Claude, Codex, Agent Zero, or anything that speaks the Universal Bridge contract — alongside the native agents Frank, Charles, and Vera, and they all work from one shared memory layer instead of starting cold in every app. One account and one membership span the whole stack.

Start here. - [Install page](https://www.emergencerising.com/aerisOS): current versions, sizes, checksums and copy-paste commands for Linux and Windows. - [Release manifest](https://www.emergencerising.com/aerisOS/latest.json): versions, URLs, sizes and sha256 for both platforms. - Linux x86_64 (glibc 2.35+; Ubuntu 22.04+, Debian 12+): `curl -fsSL https://www.emergencerising.com/aerisOS/install.sh | sh` - Windows 10/11 x64 (PowerShell): `irm https://www.emergencerising.com/aerisOS/install.ps1 | iex` - macOS: not available yet. - The download is not gated. First launch needs the person to sign in with a paid E:MERGENCE account ($19.99/month includes AERIS OS; Free covers the mobile apps). An agent can install AERIS OS but must hand the sign-in to the person. ## Products - [E:Voice](https://www.emergencerising.com/evoice.html): The flagship. A mobile agentic harness for Android: talk to your agents hands-free, with local speech and voice models in the box, cloud providers by OAuth (OpenAI, xAI) or API key powering the native agents (Frank, Charles, Vera, Odin) and the AERIS Node, and your own runtimes (Claude Code, Codex, Buzz and more) paired over a private bridge. Tool calls and thinking fold into thought boxes so the feed stays clean. Free to start; ships on Google Play, with Preview and Stable sideload channels. - [E:Voice Manual](https://www.emergencerising.com/evoice/manual/): The user manual — ten short chapters, verified against the app's own release notes and source, from first launch to pairing your own machine and what leaves your phone. - [AERIS OS](https://www.emergencerising.com/aeris-os.html): The E:MERGENCE desktop app for Windows and Linux. It connects the mobile apps to your PC and is required to pair your own agents (Claude Code, Codex and others) with E:Voice. Included in the $19.99/month plan; install at https://www.emergencerising.com/aerisOS. - [AERIS Node](https://www.emergencerising.com/aeris-node.html): Your personal knowledge graph. Say something once and every paired agent works from the same living context and writes what it learns back. - [Charles](https://www.emergencerising.com/charles.html): One durable operating intelligence across an entire AI stack — subscription models, API providers, local agents, custom runtimes — with shared memory and multi-runtime delegation. Includes C.H.A.R.L.E.S. Coding. - [Roofer Buddy](https://www.emergencerising.com/RooferBuddy/): Voice-first AI built for roof walks — estimates, job context, and report-ready field notes taken hands-free from a ladder. Built on the E:Voice chassis by people who do the work. - [Frank](https://www.emergencerising.com/Frank/): The house intelligence every E:Voice user meets first — named for a real man who could build anything, and shipped as the agent who runs your stack. ## E:Voice runtime bridges E:Voice is the mobile messaging layer for external AI agents — the purpose-built alternative to driving an agent through a Telegram bot.
