About Us
Oxtak was born from a simple conviction: the most powerful AI tools should never require you to surrender your privacy.
We design and build standalone physical AI devices that capture, transcribe, translate, and summarize conversations in real time.
Zero Data Retention.
Zero Broad Permissions.
Zero Compromise.
Founded in Hong Kong and designed in Shenzhen, in the heart of the Greater Bay Area in China, by French hardware serial entrepreneur Laurent Le Pen, Oxtak sits at the intersection of two worlds he knows intimately: the relentless speed and manufacturing excellence of China's 'Silicon Valley', and a design sensibility shaped by French emotion and Japanese functional minimalism.
After two decades building wearable technology, including the pioneering Omate smartwatches and oral care awarded brand Oclean, Laurent set out to create something different — a device with character and quiet strength, engineered for people who value both performance and sovereignty over their own words.
As part of the first cohort of the Hong Kong Shenzhen Innovation Technology Park (HSITP), Oxtak's first product (internally codenamed Moneypenny) is a distraction-free desk companion, yet mobile device, that acts as your best colleague in every meeting. It records, translates across 100 languages, and delivers precise AI summaries while keeping every byte of your data under your control. An Enterprise edition allows fully local server deployment for organizations that refuse to outsource their conversations.
We believe everyday objects should have soul, something you grow attached to rather than discard. That is why Oxtak products combine a retro-futuristic look & feel with razor-sharp lines, extreme rationality, and a distinctly emotional DNA.
Oxtak is not another app or cloud service, it's a standalone side device. It is physical AI you can hold, trust, and own. Oxtak's products are built to last, to feel considered, and to disappear into your workflow until the moment you need them.
