Humane, the startup founded by ex-Apple employees Imran Chaudhri and Bethany Bongiorno, has created a tiny wearable AI assistant. Demoed during a recent TED Talk, the device is creating a lot of buzz. The Verge shares details and reactions.
Thanks to the presentation, we now have at least some idea of what the device might be able to do and how it might go about doing it without a traditional touchscreen interface. During the presentation, Chaudhri wears the device in his breast pocket, tapping it in lieu of a wake word and then issuing voice commands like you would with an Amazon Echo smart speaker. Axios notes that the device also supports gesture commands.
