I mean there’s something to the idea of a screen-less device that doesn’t distract you all of the time.
But then this has a projector and a camera and flashing lights and is basically an interface to the cloud and AI which has its own engagement dynamics, so the whole “be present” thing is likely silicon valley bullshit, as you say.
The bit I can’t get over is that they’ve clearly got funding, hype and connections but are selling a wrapper around another company’s new/untested/probably-just-shit AI service that only came out relatively recently compared to when humane started. So what’s this company actually about? Channeling Apple hype?

Presumably. The company was made by an ex-Apple designer
