I received one of these as a gift from someone. I was obviously skeptical but started using it and there's definitely a few areas where it REALLY excels at. The team tried to do waaaaay too much here... If they had more time or less ambition I think this could have really been something neat. My fingers are crossed that like Apple thinks so as well...

I wish they had just made a Bluetooth accessory to an app. But you can't get a $800M validation with a $99, easily cloneable accessory.

  100% it should be an accessory. It's a bit weird to carry another phone around - it's gonna be a WHILE before this replaces them, if it ever does. But all the hardware is great and having that all in that pin location is pretty nice as well.

Can you explain what it does or what you are using it for? I looked on the homepage (https://humane.com/ https://humane.com/) but couldn't figure it out.

  It's a wearable like a watch, whose main purpose is to be a digital assistant using server-side AI. It has its own plan so it's always connected. The things I've liked that you can do with it are like: * Take a photo/video with a couple taps * Have it "see" the area in front of you and give you insight - e.g. "Look at the desk in front of me, find all the items on it and put it into a note titled 'My Messy Desk'" * Find information for you and do stuff with it - get me the number for X and dial it. Or get me the number for X and add it to a contact labeled Y * Play me classic rock songs that feature "sunshine" as the main theme * Add to my X log, at the current date and time that Y occurred * Find me 25 songs that match X and put them into a note in X order * Find me places where I can buy soda at that are open at the moment nearby * Review my X log, remove any entries where Y occurred and replace them with Z * How long is the second movie of the one about the desert, and what's it named? Imagine if your digital assistant didn't suck, but then scale back your ambitions a bit because it's early lol. It's neat. Could you replicate it in order ways that aren't a wearable? Sure. But it's a decent assistant, nice always-accessible camera, speaker for music, wearable for texts/calls/whatever and I like the location it sits at. Since it's so friction-less, it's easier to be curious IMO.

    So it's a gpt-4 device with a camera? It's like siri plugged to gpt-4. I can see the attraction (though would still prefer my phone) but then then don't have the "AI" anymore than anyone else in this field.
