Show HN: AIButton – Like AI Pin – but only one button to press, Made in Germany

[MasihMinawal]

Hello HN,

I've built a prototype of a hardware product that you can attach to your shirt and talk to AI with the touch of a button.

I've been thinking about commercializing it, whether people like it or not.

Thanks, Masih Minawal

Doing a "Show HN" for a product that doesn't yet exists, with fake reviews, and it's just a waitlist feels.. wrong.

[MasihMinawal]

You're right, a real demo would be better. The reviews aren't fake, though; they're from my friends who were fiddling around with my prototype, which has no hardcase yet. The response has been good so far, so I'll post an update with a demo of the product soon. Thanks for pointing that out, I'll work on it :)

Wow, such a cool idea! Where can I read more about the product, the release ETA, price, etc?

[MasihMinawal]

Thank you! If you sign up for the waitlist on the aibutton.io landing page, I'll send you an email with answers to your questions once I've set up a product page and start selling.

I expect the product to be available in mid-August. A demo, along with information on price, battery life, etc., will be available in mid-July. I'll then email it to everyone on the waitlist.

Ah! I recognise that case - did you buy up the latter remaining iPod Shuffles? I'll have look!

[MasihMinawal]

I loved the iPod shuffle, so I used it as inspiration. Cool that you noticed.

Is it really made in Germany? Or only design and software? Does it need a smartphone to operate?

[MasihMinawal]

Heyho – yes, I'll assemble it where I live... in Germany. However, most of the electronic components will come from other countries.

The product won't work without a smartphone.

looks cool, have you thought of a price yet?

[MasihMinawal]

Not really, but I found Humane's AI Pin to be grossly overpriced. It will cost far less.
