If the hardware is just a microphone and speaker that calls an API, why does the world need a new device? Every phone, tablet, laptop, game console, smart watch, smart speaker, smart doorbell, earbud and TV can do this already.
To justify adding yet another new piece of hardware, it would need to be something different. What would that be, exactly?
- singularity2001 3y agobecause absurdly the hardware is locked behind iron software gates. i'm not aware of a device with a high-quality microphone where one can set their own custom Siri
- singularity2001 3y agoThe world is ready for smart jewelry worn around the neck, similar to Tab
- takinola 3y agoThe obvious one would be a dedicated device that just observes the world around you (sound, video, etc) and provides some kind of ambient intelligence to support your day in context. This cannot be done on a smartphone and none of the other devices move around with you. The big question is whether there is a killer use case for something like this.
