Took a few minutes with my new recording setup today to talk about something that's been on my mind lately -- The Pendant Problem

My thoughts on why some of the first AI hardware/pendant products are falling short, and what a happier medium might look like

great points, fully agree. AI branded wearables are taking on too much for their V1s and setting themselves up for disappointment straight out the gate

i also feel like some of them are missing the plot by *not* being always on and gathering context in the background - otherwise you're barely more useful than siri

Avi schiffman’s tab is doing the always on context gathering thing and the pendant is doing it in a more constrained way. Excited for those devices. Rabbit and humane pin need more of that to justify standalone hardware imo

need my ai to be able to know what I want with as little input from me as possible

thanks! and yeah for sure — I think even if humane’s v1 was an always on siri powered by something like perplexity that can search the web it would be much more useful
