As a hardware product, it’s the stupidest thing I’ve heard about since the shakeweight. A non-rechargeable Bluetooth microphone disguised as a tacky ring.
Who is the customer? Who takes “voice notes” enough to need to add a button for it to their hand? Or, ever?
Buried among all the stupid ideas seems to be the promise of offering a Siri/Bixby/Alexa like experience that runs entirely locally on your phone that doesn’t have a home to phone back to. Does it have to be LLM-based, or is that just all tech bros can do anymore? And why can’t the phone’s own mic, or the mic in a Pebble smart watch, do that job? Why center it on a nearly non-functional device?
Remember those bluetooth earbuds that business jackasses wore all the time back in the 2000s? This does less than that.
