HeyRobyn includes an AI phone agent that autonomously handles calls, screens spam, takes messages, and logs everything — all on-device. Front has no phone automation.
All AI processing happens on your Mac (Apple Silicon optimized). No cloud uploads, no third-party AI APIs, no data sharing. Front stores all data on their servers and processes via cloud AI.
