    It would have been nice to provide some details on the device. AI companion can mean many things. Is a a smart Tamagotchi? Is it a tiny LLM chat device? Is it a smart watch minus the convenience of a wrist strap? There is nearly zero context on the what or the why of this Short. FINE I’LL LOOK IT UP

      @@user-ml6jb8hr4i Completely agree I’m all for startups trying to change the game; however, I don’t want to walk around talking my way through every action. It may be extremely efficient at the tasks. I would rather have these capabilities on a smartphone. Create additional utility and retain the features of quiet smartphone use. Service over new hardware in this case all the way.

      There is a large difference between an application and an operating system. Yes an application can exist as a copilot, but for artificial intelligence to interact with an application at an operating system level and not through an api is an entirely new concept. There is a reason why Microsoft is also developing a similar system through copilot in Windows 12.

      the irony is that the point of this product is against mindless consumerism. obviously it does less than your phone, that’s the point. it’s a simple device for the essentials so you focus more on life and not on some stupid screen in your pocket

    Something fishy about their demo: when they order pizza it spells “chesse” wrong. I don’t think this output came from a trained language model.. I think this demo was faked.

      @@TheRealSpaceCat Of course.Editing to shave a few seconds off response times isn’t that misleading, especially if the flow will get faster over time. Same with features that are nearly done but have an issue here or there.

      However, this is not that. With AI, the difference between “it works” and “it’s totally useless” is very thin. It’s like saying, my ChatBot wrote this compelling book! Well not really. We totally faked the output, but in theory it can write great books –as good as Hemingway!”
