Mad props @kodjima33 for calling out Avi's theft of your product! https://x.com/kodjima33/status/1...

Great tool, we are one step closer to digital slavery and eternal loneliness.

💖 Love the narrow focus here! Less is more!

Super interesting concept! Would love to see more of what it's capable of and if there is an API to connect to.

I see no one is asking the hard questions. How is your data kept safe? On the website, it states you use end-to-end encryption. How is that possible if data is sent to a server and the LLM needs to get the input of your conversation?

Great work Avi

I came here from the ProductHunt email to comment on the embedded button labeled: "Buy a friend" I was curious to know what were the alternative texts for that label.

a depressing lack of the domain name discourse on here

Well done guys

When I started watching your video guys, it felt like the episode of Black Mirror, I was awaiting for some weird things to happen by the end. Luckily all good haha

Loved the idea behind it. Congrats on the launch.

Congrats on your launch. The video has me confused. I don't understand how the 'friend' is adding value to the lives of those in the video. The disconnect from the wearable to receiving an SMS feels odd to me. Why wouldn't the device include audio and speak to you if you wanted it to? Are there many use cases where people would want a wearable AI 'friend' when they're with real human friends? It's more likely the use case is when people are alone but in that case, what's the intention in terms of value? Is it for mental health? Or to replace google if you want to know something quickly without having to get your phone out of your pocket etc? Who are you targeting for this device out of interest?

"Friend" is a cool name for a wearable device! It sounds like a real pal that's always there for you. The idea of having a non-imaginary friend to fight loneliness is really smart. It's like having a buddy on your wrist!

Hey, very interesting idea! Congrats on the launch! I really like your promo video, it feels like an episode from Black Mirror 🙈 Best of luck!!🍀

I thought I'd seen this launch a few days before.

Congrats on the launch! There was another similar company that I commented on a few days ago, but they never responded. I hope you will have some thoughts to share, so I'm going to copy a majority of that comment here: I'd be interested in hearing about your perspective on the legal and social implications here. First, most of the large population centers in the USA are in All-Party Consent States. I recognize this does not apply in public where you have no expectation of privacy, but then users are obligated to inform people they're recording in all sorts of other situations. (Though in many states the penalties aren't very high.) Second, a few times I've found out people were recording me with devices like this one without my knowledge, and I have to say, that's a super shitty experience. I don't like the experience of being recorded, with or without my knowledge and consent. I act differently when I know I'm being recorded, and I think it would interfere with the authenticity and intimacy of my interactions, especially with friends. I know this kind of thing is going to become more and more common, and I'm not sure yet how we are going to handle it as a society. I'd love to hear more about what you think the future of these kinds of products looks like.

Great Idea!, Is there a way, i could integrate it with my other wearable devices like smart watch or so?

The concept of having a non-imaginary friend as a wearable device is amazing. Excited to see how this helps people. Congratulations!

This products looks promising. Addressing loneliness with a wearable device is a unique approach.

A friend in need !
