If you didn't know by now, this device is AI-powered and that's the answer to every tough question.

Having a subscription based model on top of that cost is actually wild

This interview has convinced me i don't need this at all 😂

"and what about sales" "AI will do a lot of the heavy lifting"

this thing is the definition of a solution looking for a problem. good luck getting any sales

"How do I know there's a notification?" "Its AI powered, don't worry about it"

They should have leaned into Ai a bit more

As a startup guy, my nightmare is building software that adds no value... My nightmare's nightmare is building hardware that adds no value...

lol how did they scam investors for the money for these.

I am seeing the founders struggle to answer consumer questions of their current behaviour and what the parallels are. It will turn out to be a second phone call, or another wearable . And it’s not something people want to necessarily carry around after the excitement runs out.

So it’s like an Apple Watch. Except instead of being notifications on your wrist, it’s notifications on your nipple.

I see this being better as an extension to a phone vs a replacement cause there are very few people that can live without apps, social media, video, etc

He keeps saying “AI powered”, but none of the features is actually AI.

This would be one of those Christmas presents that you act all impressed with to please the person who got it for you, then immediately return it for store credit.

Becky is quick to ask simple and straight forward questions 😂😬🤦‍♂️

Cool device but consumers won’t buy this. It’s not simple enough and I’m sure it doesn’t do as much as an Apple Watch. With all the AI buzz recently, Apple is in great position to take over if they come out with their own competing AI system. They have the hardware out already, and they are designing their own chips.

These guys need a good sales guy. They are terrible at explaining what this gizmo does. The answer to everything is “it does just about anything you want”

They need a spokeperson, haha

Absolutely brilliant! It's fascinating how they've transformed a simple app on a watch into a standalone device, and then marketed it at a price higher than the watch itself! 😄 Truly a clever strategy in the tech world.

The fact that this product made it all the way from initial idea to actually being manufactured and now marketed is mind boggling.

This is a perfect example of having cool tech that is then forced into solving a market problem instead of the other way around.

- Why do I need this? - "It is AI powered"...👀 - Huh?

The real question is why? What problems is it solving that aren’t already solved?

AI is a buzzword right now but this device pushes it to the limit lol

Notice how they never demo the product 💀

I feel sorry for all the investors who invested in this, they are not going to see their money back.

These principals unfortunately either are not selling a great product or else they are not equipped to sell their great product very well. The two interviewers asked surprisingly probing questions throughout (usually these types of segments are straightforward promotions, so kudos to the hosts for doing more than selling) the interview and just about all the developers said was that "it's AI powered and it does all the heavy lifting," without really explaining what it can be used for in any detail, or what the advantage is over a smartphone. It was awkward to see the laser projection on the guy's hand; that kind of flickering, monochrome display looks like a futuristic projection as imagined in the 90s, and it looks archaic compares with vibrant handheld device screens today. The interviewers had to ask repeatedly to understand how it notifies the user-does it vibrate? Does it make an announcement? The developer said it illuminates, but he didn't explain how that is better than vibrating or beeping if the wearer is in a bright place and not looking down toward their lapel where the button is located. Does the wearer rely on someone else telling them that the device down below their line of vision is blinking and they should...check their hand lasers in case it's an emergency? It just wasn't a very good demonstration of whatever the product is in my opinion. If the product was undersold because the company principals aren't good communicators, then that is one thing, and they should hire a spokesperson to represent them publicly before they confuse potential customers with too many media appearances. If the device actually has limited use and that is why they can only speak in vague generalities, then they should consider selling with the story you describe: that this is not a smartphone, it is more limited by design, and the intention is to interrupt and break the addictive cycles most people have found themselves in with their smartphone. An interview based on that scenario would have gone much better. When the interviewer said, "with my phone, I can sneak a peek at it under the table; how can I do that with your product?" the answer could have been, "That's the point. Many people are addicted to their phones and can't resist sneaking peeks during important functions such as meetings at work. It's disruptive to productivity and more importantly, the way these devices have been developed takes advantage of neuroscience by targeting your brain's addictive potential and making us all obsessively addicted to our phones. It's not healthy to look at Instagram or Twitter or TikTok every minute to check for an update. Our device can ease people out of that addiction comfortably. The difference is that we feel compelled to check in with our phones constantly so we don't miss anything important, and in reality less than one percent of what we discover when we check is important. Our AI operating system quickly learns what and who is important and instead of you manually checking every moment to make sure nothing important has happened, you can count on our AI to alert you discreetly when something important has happened. We developed this device without a screen intentionally to stop the compulsion of looking at a screen. Addiction is less convenient with our device and actual productivity and personal time and life management is more convenient. We created this device to enrich lives and free people's minds from the shackles of electronic device dependency." That would be a good sell, if any of it is true, but all they sold in this interview is that it's new, it's wearable, it has LASERS!, it's AI powered, and it does the heavy lifting, whatever that means. Does it have the full capability of an iPhone? Why did they eliminate a screen feature from their device? Why laser projection on the hand instead of a screen? What advantages does it have over an iPhone, beyond 'heavy lifting'? Why is it not a new spin on Google Glasses that bombed years ago? Does it work with social media and gaming, the primary reasons many people are addicted to their phones, or is it intended for a different type of user? Does it work with things like online banking? Can the lasers be programmed to music so people can replice dance club and concert environments in their conference rooms?? So many unanswered questions! So many squandered opportunities.

His wife really needs to take the marketing lead. He's a great designer being he worked at apple but his style is so "head up his own ash" he comes off detached from reality or as if he's only talked to ai for the past 5 yrs. Like he never been to a 7/11.

It'll take someone 20 minutes to switch out that "Trust LED" with a resistor .

While considering the device's usage in various scenarios, I have reservations about its functionality and convenience. For instance, how effective is it when I'm in the bathroom, or at the swimming pool, where it might be exposed to water and humidity? Additionally, I have doubts about its comfort and stability during physical activities, such as running, where constant movement could cause it to shake on my chest. Observing the founders' responses to these practical concerns, it appears they might not have conducted thorough market research or consumer analysis before committing their resources to this project. This oversight leads me to question the device's potential to become a mainstream gadget or a viable alternative to smartphones. Given these factors, I am hesitant to invest in this product, and I'm concerned about the company's long-term sustainability in the market if these issues aren't addressed.

one big thing that they are not mentioning is that you need to be always connected to internet, the moment you lose connection the wearable is useless

So that trust light indicator can be just covered up with some electrical tape right ?

The love the idea, but its projection feature could compromise privacy by displaying personal information publicly and is an issue for me personally! It seems more fitting for commercial use, like in warehouses for inventory management or product scanning, hospitality management, healthcare, and could efficiently replace traditional walkie-talkies or data devices in law enforcement and military operations, much like the Comm Badge in 'Star Trek'. Any job that requires communication, cameras/optics, scanning, etc. However, as a personal communication tool, its potential privacy issues make it less appealing...

Apple puts chatgpt on the apple watch boom humane is dead🤣

They brought back the beeper lol

It would’ve been nicer if they had said, it’s an AI personal assistant that it’s always on and it helps you stay organized. Instead of saying it does what a cell phone does but with a crappier screen and you don’t have to open chat GPT

Another key thing that they didn’t mention is that the AI Pin requires a SEPARATE number and you can’t use your current number. Having to give everyone another new number to reach your AI pin is incredibly annoying.

i have just two questions.. are you going public? and how soon can I short your stock.

I’m falling asleep. Wake me up in 2045 when we look back and say “oh that thing”.

I feel sorry for the investors who put upto 300M in this

Ever seen the device that nurses use in hospitals? It’s entirely voice interfaced. This device in the video reminded me of it. I think it can be useful in specific jobs/situations but general population won’t buy it.

How good is the camera and sound ?? Can we use it when my both hands are tied up, or may be in a sport like skateboarding or can I create a reel, how compatible is it ??? 🙄

No apps!? How does it connect to your email or other notifications you would get?

Not to mention the price tag and a subscription to boot. Granted most pay double or triple this price for the latest smartphone but they can SEE and hold the phone, SEE and touch the screen, and interact with apps. This may be the "start" of something big or it may just be another GFI that goes nowhere. The other factor is MANY smartphone users watch videos, shows, and movies on smartphones and tablets. This device as presented can't replace that convenience.

This is so stupid that it feels like a joke

A great device for particular use cases. Taking photo but no where see it?

So no apps, can you do your banking with it???

It’s not simple enough. Looks like work.

Former Apple designers, AI. Long as you have the right buzz words youll get that round of funding. Look at AG1 green drink.

When will I be able to pick this up in the 75% off bin at my local Walmart?

I got one question. Will ads show up on your hand?

Where are my fellow Gregs at?

Load of nonsense. Terrible value propisition and sales pitch - all he says its AI powered. For someone who worked at Apple, did he not learn anything from steve jobs? YOU DONT START WITH THE TECHNOLOGY AND WORK BACKWARDS TO THE CUSTOMER!!!!

Trust light is a great thing. And it’s actually built-in, which is really good. The bottom line is $800 plus a subscription what like 33 bucks a month after fees and taxes to send and receive messages. A smart phone for the same amount of money has just so many more use cases. I wish them luck

“How is getting notifications from the AI pin any better than a watch?” “So it’s ai powered” Bruh, they don’t even have the humility to say it’s just another medium of accessibility… they, without any justifiable reason, just envision the AI pin to replace every digital device we have now because it’s “Ai PowErEd”

Impressive he spoke so much, yet said nothing useful. Just like his $800 spying device. 🤣

I think where this could thrive is it can be more readable than a watch. It's AI can figure out how big it needs to project the screen depending on the size of the reflecting surface. Let it be a hand or a paper or even a screen. Phones and watches are all trying to find ways to enlarge the screen without killing practicality and this could be it if adjusted correctly with improved projector technology

Thanks for the interview! Is there a longer version? Right when they started asking actual questions about it the video stops! The first 8 minutes were about the release video basically, but sounded like a hit piece. The dude was asking real questions but that lady is rude lol

I’m starting to question what A.I. is aside from a marketing term

It’s basically a real life copy of the new 32nd century tricorder/combadge they came up with in Star Trek: Discovery, but without any of the real life tech to power it that actually makes it happen the way it does in TV show special effects. Kind of a fail all around that is many years away from possibly being ready honestly.

🚀 As a Star Trek fan I’ve been waiting for this my whole life

I keep wondering why we don’t just have palm sized screens called “Tiles”. Maybe texture the edges to give it some grip or something? This thing looks like the badge equivalent of those projector wrist things you see online.

This is a cool extra device but I don't think I'm ready to let my phone go

Literally everything this device does your smart phone does and more

I thought by now they would have realized that this is the next Zume.

Feel like this is one of those moments that define a charge in the world.

Damn the interviewers are really grilling the founders with questions. It's like shark tank! I love it.

I'm definitely going to replace my phone with this device, screens are too addictive. I've been waiting for a screenless solution for a long time.

Juicero vibes

If anybody is wondering what this thing does, he says it right here 1:29

Ever heard "A picture is worth a thousand words” … I don’t think people from Humane did VUI is slower and less practical than GUI every time.

I’d rather have a cell phone over that for sure

This company may turn out the same way as the "cold-pressed juice machine" startup from a few years ago...

Lmaooooooooooo…..”it’s doing nothing right now” that sums it up.

Kudos for trying to build something new but this is a non-starter

AI clowns.

This interview is hilarious because the sane people in the room are actually the news reporters in this case. It's like they 're interviewing a mentally deranged person. This happens when the founder is such an isolated computer savant that he has no clue about the wishes of the common person in society.

AI: hey don’t bring my name into that 💩……….🤬

Sounds to me that all these functions can be built in an app. Why do I need another wearable device?

Host: Why is this better than the Apple watch? Founder: It's AI powered. Yeah, it's a gimmick. They'll be luck if they can get acquired

I was on board to get this until I had a thought that this has got to be bad sitting on your chest and at times over your heart for extended periods of time. Imagine with what we know about cell phones no one would hold their cell phone over their heart 24/7. I find it hard to believe they have tested the effects to the heart or lungs with this sitting on your chest all day.

4:23 whats that?

6:17 Becky is more than a little suspicious of this. 😆

I would try this device. These guys put their heart in it. To see how fast humans are developing stuff is incredible

Pager of the future!!

"What about sales ?" " AI will be doing all the sobbing ! " 😂

Imagine walking around with a camera on your chest...people will think you're a creep lol

This is fantastic!!!

I can't see this is future in any way. This is the dumbest device I've ever seen

I can only imagine that they just hope to cash out when their conpany gets bought and not genuinely belive that this is going to do anything in the market

Its like you have an assistant using your voice with that small device like siri

Lmao. 3 mins into the video. The CEO keeps saying “it’s powered by AI & again powered by AI & again powered by AI” and when asked what so special with this AI compare to others. CEO answered, it can send text, etc HAHAHA I guess what we didn’t do prior to the interview. Getting clarification what their AI stands for. It could be simply just “AI as in Additional Information”. Unlike the “real” AI we’re anticipating. I guess they’re not aware this is an opportunity to sell to the market and convince. Rather than just an interview. They just blew the chance

Is this an interrogation panel. They seem to be asking questions to downplay the product rather than letting it breathe. From idea to product is a big deal and these guys have accomplished it.

But they got roasted 😂😂

This CEO guy looks like he's already angry because no one understands why this device is a thing, and he wants everyone to buy it.

The concept is actually rather brilliant for those wanting to disconnect from the black mirror digital drug that is the smartphone. It's tech that brings the old world of the pre-smartphone era back, a more (hu ma ne world) while reaping the benefits of most of the tech we have in smartphones and smartwatches. Over time products like this will catch on, especially as AI advances and becomes more capable and the rise of AI personal assistants/companions on these types of devices takes hold. The founder is a poor speaker and poor marketer of what's definitely a niece product at the moment but overtime will lead to a better functioning happier society with tech fading into the background and importantly no digital dopamine drugs and echo chambers aka social media! Price will also come down, it's a big tradeoff where you must think critically about what you gain from such a device as this AI pin! You'll gain your humanity and sanity back! Solid product poor execution in price and poor communication skills of the two developers here. Give it a few years and this product will see adoption, or similar products!

This is the future and Humane are the first to have actually brought something exciting and practical. A technology which from first impressions seems questionable is exactly the thing that will change the future of the wearable tech market. I can't wait when this is out in Britain, and as soon as people realise how useful and productive this thing is, people will feel annoyed realising how their lives were being spent watching a screen so obsessively, and how much they missed seeing their real life around them and not being able to be in the moment creating beautiful memories. The name "Humane' is so apt as such a device will make us humane again, indeed. A beautiful product from such a beautiful couple. God bless.

If they can’t clearly tell you what this can do and how it should be used I’m confused how this takes off. It sounds like if you have the watch or the head phones or a phone and this is doing the same thing. I just don’t get it.

What does “all the heavy lifting mean” can’t you do the same thing by just asking “hey siri, read my recent messages”

Wow, America is really in some serious decline
