Project Mirage
Project Mirage builds AI-centric hardware interfaces that sit between people and their software. Its flagship product Dune is a three-key context-aware keypad for macOS that uses AI to detect which app and workflow a user is in, then remaps the keys in real time. The result is a tiny control surface aimed at developers, remote workers, and power users who want fast access to AI agents, dev tools, and meeting controls without juggling on-screen menus or complex macro profiles.

- Retail : $149 one-time; not yet available.
Features
- AI Context Awareness: Detects the active macOS app (for example VS Code, GitHub, Zoom, Teams, Google Meet, Claude) and automatically changes what each of the three keys does, with on-screen labels that update in real time.
- One-tap Meeting Controls: Syncs with the calendar so keys become join buttons for upcoming Zoom, Teams, or Google Meet calls, plus physical mute, unmute, and camera toggles that can pull the meeting window to the front.
- Developer-focused Workflows: Maps common developer actions to hardware keys, such as running tests, committing code, or triggering an AI coding assistant, helping maintain flow while staying inside the editor.
- Custom AI Agents via Openclaw: Integrates with Openclaw so a keypress can invoke custom agents, for instance an email assistant that sorts inboxes or drafts responses at a scheduled time.
- Beyond Simple Macros: Supports shortcut sequences, URL launches, and scripts, so keys can trigger everything from Notion or Figma shortcuts to automation scripts that glue tools together.
- Premium Hardware Build: CNC‑machined anodized aluminum body, USB‑C connectivity, tiny footprint, and no battery to charge, intended to live next to a Mac keyboard all day.
Use cases
- Software Developers and Engineers: Using the keypad to trigger builds, tests, Git actions, and AI code helpers in tools like VS Code and GitHub without leaving the editor.
- Remote and Hybrid Knowledge Workers: Relying on calendar-synced meeting controls, always-available mute and camera keys, and quick AI summarization or note-taking agents.
- Designers and Product Creators: Mapping Figma, Notion, and documentation shortcuts plus creative AI ideation agents to the keys.
- Founders, Operators, and Team Leads: Jumping to dashboards, status docs, and AI assistants that summarise updates or draft communication with a single tap.
- Uncommon Use Cases: Used by IT support teams to fire off diagnostic or remediation scripts during live calls; adopted by educators who run live-coding shortcuts and AI teaching assistants while presenting.
