the new device would be to avoid the constraints of Apple. Apple wouldn't allow an app that is always listening to you to run, unless it's always open which isn't user-friendly at all.

there's a reason why all these companies are coming out with their own hardware. Apple severely limits your ability to create these as apps.

I get you, and you're right, the important part of the recording would be stored (the context). however, I see it being like a summarizer and at least it won't be recorded and fed to you verbatim.

I can't lie, it does sound dystopian, but I am excited for wearable AI. I used to be a smartglasses hater but I see the value of it once we can get it down to normal glasses size + GOOD AI capabilities.

depends who you ask and I know here in HN, people mostly care about their privacy.

however, I personally don't care as long as I'm getting value out of it, and I'm sure this goes for others as well.

does that mean that the only viable wearable is smart glasses? you can say the same thing about necklaces for example (they'll be covered).

thanks for the explanation! I'm thinking of creating this just as a project and for me

yeah maybe. although i think of WHOOP and i see that they designed a beautiful wristband. wonder what the hardware is beneath it...

not a fan of the pin form factor, and i think ear buds are cool but i personally would rather have another form factor

i genuinely believe its the world we're heading into. privacy is practically dead, and i think if the device has enough utility, people won't give a shit about it listening to you (look at TikTok). plus, with proper marketing, you can show that the recordings aren't being stored.

not sure. however, my best guess would be to have the best mic(s) on the market for a wearable, so that it can pick up on voice crisply, and then just go on about your day and see what context the AI extracts throughout the day.

yup, that would make the most sense. in my head it would make sense to need earbuds if you plan to talk with it in noisy environments, or instead use an app on your phone to chat with it through a text-based interface.

and then in private environments, you can talk with it out loud.
