Humane, a San Francisco-based company, debuted the Ai Pin, a tiny digital assistant. This square gadget functions as a power pack and is simple to affix to surfaces or clothes using a magnetic clip.
It uses a camera, motion, and depth sensors in addition to a Qualcomm Snapdragon CPU to monitor its environment. The Pin has no screen but includes a tiny speaker and Bluetooth support for headphones.
The main method of interaction is speech, but it also has other functions like a green laser projector that displays information on your hand. The touchpad allows for the use of gesture-based instructions. The Pin, distinguished from a continuous recording by a trusted light during recording, must be manually activated.
It uses a variety of AIs and tools with ease while running on the Cosmos system. It is consistent with claims indicating that GPT-4 powers the Pin, much as ChatGPT’s plugin system.
The Pin can interpret spoken English and Spanish conversations in real-time, in addition to text messaging. Diverse questions are made possible by the availability of internet-based AI services from Google, Microsoft, OpenAI, and other providers.
The assistant provides capabilities including tailored message creation and email inbox summaries and highlights daily schedules, messages, and health statistics. It recognizes food for nutritional information, has AI-focused photographic features, and supports Tidal music streaming with an AI DJ. You may view the photos on the Humane website app.
