Two things in the keynote that seem faked:
1. at 13:13 there's a demo ordering a ride 'to home', then the user requests a car change to fit six people, and what's shown as a seamless switch from UberX to UberXL also updates the destination from the home address to LAX airport.
2. at 14:05 the device confirms and recites a pizza order, but the screen displays "chesse" with a typo while the voice reads out "cheese", so either the audio or the visuals is faked. My guess is that all of the on-device graphics were hand-written and hand-animated which would explain both mistakes.
I stopped watching at that point. Am sort of sad to see Teenage Engineering associated with a product that seems so sloppy and/or shady.

- shermantanktop 3y agoIt’d be doing better than most people if it could.
- thatguysaguy 3y agoAnother time he's talking and typing at the same time, but says a different thing than he "types".
- covercash 3y agoRight after you stopped watching, he books an entire vacation - flights, hotel, car rental, activities - and says he is given multiple options to choose from but shows none of the options, just an itinerary that he quickly scrolls through.
- jonplackett 3y agoThe idea that anyone is going to book a vacation this way is ridiculous. Vacations take extensive thought. There’s no way a voice interface would work for this even if it was the Star Trek computer.
- kllrnohj 3y agoIt's a pitch to get VC funding and this is exactly how that audience treats vacations. The idea of saving or planning to do something is just unimaginable to the super rich this is aimed at getting investment money from
- jonplackett 3y agoIt’s not the saving or planning part. It’s the leaving to to some random algorithm to make good decisions part. If it’s only for super rich people, they already have a human PA
- pjfitzpatrick 3y agoI think is true. I'd want a far better understanding of the details before committing to spend the time and money.
- ryanSrich 3y agoNo one ever shows what these should and could actually be used for - incredibly boring and repetitive tasks. "Hey rabbit, respond to the support ticket you just told me about with XYZ". "Hey rabbit, find all of the sales meetings I had last week, cross reference the emails of the attendees with existing emails threads, and then generate follow ups for each. Keep them short, to the point, and read them back to me before you send" Like where is this? This is what I want. Not some voice assisted way of booking an Uber or some shit.
- abrichr 3y ago> No one ever shows what these should and could actually be used for - incredibly boring and repetitive tasks. Agreed! That’s precisely why we created https://openadapt.ai https://openadapt.ai.
- sbarre 3y agoJust FYI the email field on your homepage is white text on white background for me (Firefox on Windows). Was very hard to sign up.
- ZiiS 3y agoHe also didn't actually get the pizza or Uber despite confirming.

- godelski 3y agoAt 15:55 the two screens de-sync. He's telling it that the schedule is too intense and on one screen he lifts his finger off before he ends and the other is still on the button. It was definitely shot as a single take. But hey, I guess if Google can do it you can pitch LLM WeChat. At $200, I'm tempted to buy one, they could be as famous as Theranos.
