Show HN: I made a wearable AI assistant for $50. (Rabbit r1 analog)

[1g0rrr]

Hi! I made OpenWearableAI - AI assistant/pendant assembled from widely available components. Here I shared how to do it yourself. Also it would be great to make it an opensource so that everyone can build and use it.

Awesome... Especially cool seeing the memories in action. I do like how the Rewind folks do things though [1].

Wearables and AI have a way bigger future and potential than AR, IMO. Why would I want to strap a giant Apple Vision headset to my face all day when I could instead just have something like a 2000s Bluetooth phone headset with an AI super assistant? [2]. I think this also solves your other issue of privacy in responses. Right now it's essentially a phone on speaker.

With an Internet connected GPT and some clever Actions/Commands, you can essentially replace your phone -- Internet searches, text, call, email, etc.

My personal dream of an AI wearable is dead-simple:

- just an ear piece to talk and listen with a slick camera on it for AI Vison [2]

- until the tech gets better/faster/smaller, just make it a relay to wherever my cloud AI, phone AI, or self-managed custom AI lives. No need to wear actual compute right now. Make the device small and slick (cough, cough, Apple...).

- 5G mobile band

- Aggressive memories / basically 24/7 streaming vision. I want analysis ready before I even ask. Even if starting it's just a snapshot frequently.

I don't really understand this. The Vision Pro and gadgets like the Rabbit R1 are completely different devices with completely different use cases.

Good points, thanks a lot! Yes ear piece should be great. But how about using it with Apple or Android buds simultaneously?

If you're like me and wondered why the USB sound card wasn't one of the commonly-available $1 ones, it's because this one includes:

- a microphone (or perhaps two microphones?)

- an amplifier (AP2068) to drive the speakers

I don't use twitter and can't seem to see your complete tweet without logging in, is there anywhere else where I can read this?

[croes]

Just replace twitter.com with nitter.net in the url.

I’ll share it at Medium. Thanks for mention this Twitter feature

Very neat. Just needs to connect to your home AI server now!

[1g0rrr]

Thanks! It can be connected to phone’s wifi and be with you outside home. I use it this way.

Very interesting I liked reading through the thread

Thanks a lot! It takes a lot of time and effort to write and rewrite it
