Your Burst of AI News: Will the AI Pin replace your phone? 😅

In the evolving landscape of wearable technology, hu.ma.ne has made a significant leap with the introduction of the AI Pin, a $699 wearable device that heralds a new era of interaction with artificial intelligence. This innovative gadget, distinct from traditional smartphones, is designed primarily for voice interactions and leverages large language models like OpenAI's GPT-4, offering a unique approach to technology use.

Here are a few things we thought were super cool:

• Laser Ink Display: Watch your hand become a display for menus, experiences, and more simply by lifting and tilting your palm using the Laser Ink Display.

• Voice-Based Interactions: Say goodbye to endless scrolling. Just speak to the AI pin to send messages, make calls, or get quick answers.

• Smart Camera Features: Hold up an item, and the Pin can tell you its nutritional info or translate text in real time

• Email Summarization: Overwhelmed by your inbox? Let the AI Pin catch you up with concise summaries.

• Make Calls: Make calls on a distinct network, alongside support from US carrier; T-Mobile on your AI Pin.

The AI Pin is more than just a wearable search engine—it's a glimpse into a future where our interactions with technology are more natural and integrated into our daily lives. As hu.ma.ne continues to develop the AI Pin, adding higher-level functionalities such as API support for existing social media platforms, it will stand at the forefront of a broader project to revolutionize how we interact with and benefit from AI advancements.
