Sure, the tech exists to make this thing possible, but it requires an Apple-sized company to execute on it, and even then it’s utility would be doubtful
There’s been a lot of pulling back on smart speakers because they’re not quite where they need to be - and this promised far far more than a smart speaker from a tiny new company.
The question is: did they believe they own hype or know it’s a sham?
By the looks of it, this device uses 4g, and doesn't support 5g, so over time we might expect service to get worse as telecoms build out their 5+g networks and leave the 4g ones behind.
Set an alarm,
Create a reminder,
Or even attempt some of the more advanced features like querying local business.
The fact that it can't even set an alarm or create a reminder? Like what the actual?
Solo devs are already doing way more advanced stuff than this, it doesn't even take a small startup.
What takes an Apple sized company is creating something that can access many other platforms, buy for you, put together bulletproof many step processes and execute on them safely etc. But most of these failures are like basic basic stuff.
I do not understand how they can release a product like this.
Similarly a little box pinned to your chest projecting a display on your palm showing the weather makes for a good tech demo, but ultimately there is no real world use case for this device.
as of the ultimate vision, it is not yet clear, and it would be dumb for anyone to get into this "AI phone replacement" business. There are far better use cases tho, which are clear to execute, like Schiffman.
