Are you ready for an AI assistant that you could wear and actually gets you?
In an exciting development in wearable tech, Bee AI has raised $7 million to advance its innovative AI-powered wearable assistant. Ivan Mehta's recent article on TechCrunch, offers an inside look at how Bee AI, founded by Maria de Lourdes Zollo and Ethan Sutin, aims to create a device that learns from your conversations, helps with daily tasks, and keeps your privacy in mind.
Here’s what makes Bee AI stand out:
Funding and Development: The company has raised $7 million from investors like Exor, Greycroft, and Banana Capital.
Smart Wearable: The assistant listens to your conversations, helps with notes, reminders, and task management, and even pairs with an Apple Watch app.
Features: Early features include reading notifications, writing emails, and offering shopping suggestions. The device has a mute button and potential future commands.
Market Position: Bee AI is part of a growing field with competitors like Limitless and Friend, focusing on refining wearable AI technology.
Privacy Measures: To address privacy concerns, Bee AI uses transcripts instead of recordings and plans to exclude non-users’ voices from its data.
The product is currently in beta. Before its official launch, Bee AI plans to introduce consent protocols for non-users’ voices and emphasizes that it only uses transcripts, not audio recordings, for learning. Orders are anticipated to begin before Black Friday.
You might be wondering: “Will this AI assistant take over my life?” It’s a great question, especially with a $7 million investment riding on it! Will these new AI helpers make our lives easier or just add another layer of complexity? And, who knows, maybe they'll even start finishing our sentences!
What’s your take? Excited to try out a wearable AI, or do you prefer the simplicity of good old post-it notes? Let us know!
