Neuralink is helping a man with ALS speak over the phone, type on an iPhone and use Grok, with his thoughts.

Engineers spent 72 hours at his home, building and testing new features alongside him.

Here’s what they worked on:

• Automatically detecting when he tries to speak, reducing the need to press buttons.

• Turning intended speech into text inside iPhone apps.

• Sending speech generated from his brain signals directly into phone calls.

• Starting speech through the app without unlocking his phone.

• Prototyping a Grok AI agent that performs computer tasks after he thinks “Hey Neuralink” and gives an instruction.

One moment meant especially much: he and his wife joking together over the phone again. Their relationship had started with phone calls.

Incredible work by Neuralink, helping people regain a voice, greater independence and everyday moments with the people they love. ♥️
