I think AI is going to create the killer app for something like this… though if people will be ok with that is another question.
I’m imagining something that attempts to record your life so it can help with it.
“Remember you told your wife yesterday you would take out the garbage today”
Driving home from a meeting with Joe:
“Glasses, can you get me more information about the thing Joe mentioned?”
“Sure, he asked about the viability of selling our widget in Asia, my brief search tells me that there are three obvious competitors to your product there, and they are X, Y, and Z. The market appears to be growing at 10% year over year. Blah, blah”
“Thanks. Can you tell me more about X?”…
When you get home:
“Glasses, summarize our last conversation and put it in my inbox.”
Get topical reminders: you are at the grocery store, and your glasses reminds you of your grocery list without prompting (when no one is trying to talk to you, so you can pay attention, and when you need to know about the item: so onions and celery in the grocery section, pork butt when near the meat, etc).
You are at the grocery store, and you can’t remember if you have any saffron at home, and you didn’t throw it on the list. Your glasses can tell you because it remembers.
Etc.
We are almost there. The tech isn’t at the level it needs to be in accuracy and we haven’t built the “meta” ai, that can recognize that knowing what food I have at home is valuable, so it should pay attention to that, etc. I just hope there is a self hosted version built by someone when we get there.
