      Yes, venture capitalists in Silicon Valley seem eager to throw hundreds of millions at executives who have big-tech and elite private university pedigrees (especially if they dropped out of those universities!) based solely on product pitches made of meaningless jargon and which never address what problem they are solving. These products are novelties that just exist to exist, but no matter; the venture capitalists don't miss a few hundred million and they can write off the money as losses, and the executives who speak in Kellyanne Conway spin language pocket their profits and use the predecent of having raised money, combined with "lessons learned" from their failures, to talk richer investors into giving them more money for even more poorly considered ideas.
      It's amazing that the tech industry does create products like generative AI given the prevalence of scammers who either can't or are not interested in thinking through the designs of their products.

Does it auto reply? Telling me over and over that it’s AI doesn’t make me want it. Hell what kind of AI is it? Siri level or ChatGPT4 level? If you’re going the AI keyword sales pitch at least explain what kind of AI we’re dealing with.

    These principals unfortunately either are not selling a great product or else they are not equipped to sell their great product very well. The two interviewers asked surprisingly probing questions throughout (usually these types of segments are straightforward promotions, so kudos to the hosts for doing more than selling) the interview and just about all the developers said was that "it's AI powered and it does all the heavy lifting," without really explaining what it can be used for in any detail, or what the advantage is over a smartphone. It was awkward to see the laser projection on the guy's hand; that kind of flickering, monochrome display looks like a futuristic projection as imagined in the 90s, and it looks archaic compares with vibrant handheld device screens today. The interviewers had to ask repeatedly to understand how it notifies the user-does it vibrate? Does it make an announcement? The developer said it illuminates, but he didn't explain how that is better than vibrating or beeping if the wearer is in a bright place and not looking down toward their lapel where the button is located. Does the wearer rely on someone else telling them that the device down below their line of vision is blinking and they should...check their hand lasers in case it's an emergency?
    It just wasn't a very good demonstration of whatever the product is in my opinion.
    If the product was undersold because the company principals aren't good communicators, then that is one thing, and they should hire a spokesperson to represent them publicly before they confuse potential customers with too many media appearances.
    If the device actually has limited use and that is why they can only speak in vague generalities, then they should consider selling with the story you describe: that this is not a smartphone, it is more limited by design, and the intention is to interrupt and break the addictive cycles most people have found themselves in with their smartphone.
    An interview based on that scenario would have gone much better. When the interviewer said, "with my phone, I can sneak a peek at it under the table; how can I do that with your product?" the answer could have been, "That's the point. Many people are addicted to their phones and can't resist sneaking peeks during important functions such as meetings at work. It's disruptive to productivity and more importantly, the way these devices have been developed takes advantage of neuroscience by targeting your brain's addictive potential and making us all obsessively addicted to our phones. It's not healthy to look at Instagram or Twitter or TikTok every minute to check for an update. Our device can ease people out of that addiction comfortably. The difference is that we feel compelled to check in with our phones constantly so we don't miss anything important, and in reality less than one percent of what we discover when we check is important. Our AI operating system quickly learns what and who is important and instead of you manually checking every moment to make sure nothing important has happened, you can count on our AI to alert you discreetly when something important has happened. We developed this device without a screen intentionally to stop the compulsion of looking at a screen. Addiction is less convenient with our device and actual productivity and personal time and life management is more convenient. We created this device to enrich lives and free people's minds from the shackles of electronic device dependency."
    That would be a good sell, if any of it is true, but all they sold in this interview is that it's new, it's wearable, it has LASERS!, it's AI powered, and it does the heavy lifting, whatever that means. Does it have the full capability of an iPhone? Why did they eliminate a screen feature from their device? Why laser projection on the hand instead of a screen? What advantages does it have over an iPhone, beyond 'heavy lifting'? Why is it not a new spin on Google Glasses that bombed years ago? Does it work with social media and gaming, the primary reasons many people are addicted to their phones, or is it intended for a different type of user? Does it work with things like online banking? Can the lasers be programmed to music so people can replice dance club and concert environments in their conference rooms?? So many unanswered questions! So many squandered opportunities.

      @@joelejinkeonye3018 Thanks. I work in nonprofit communications and I've been a writer in some form or another all my life.
      I have a hunch these executives want to be front-and-center in their communications, though.
      The primary hook that seems to have gotten them booked on the show is that they are former Apple developers-so, the sell is the executives and not the product itself. (That might be a red flag for any potential consumers.)
      The execs' answers to the questions also suggest to me that product development, including the questions asked from conception that the product was developed to answer, needed far greater contemplation than the publicity of the final product does.
      I was really struck by the repeated emphasis of "it does the heavy lifting" throughout this interview. That is as vague as vagueness can be for any product that theoretically exists to meet a need, and at the same time it is a kind of cluelessly confident corporate executive-speak that suggests to me these executives may not know any better. I have known *a lot* of top-level executives who have had long careers making very high salaries and winning industry awards for doing nothing at all-nothing *at all*-but traveling around, meeting with peer executives and funders, and speaking in hyperbolic meaningless jargon. This is how Elizabeth Holmes raised record capital and built an empire-entirely on hollow language. She was imprisoned in part because she was a one-woman empire-accountability rarely happens to men; they take the money and run with disaster in their wake, and 'fail upward'-and it appears to be what both of these executives are doing.
      Besides "it does the heavy lifting," the emphasis on lasers feels like a red flag because lasers don't actually *do* anything when they are used only for optical viewing. The laser is not a core function of the product; it's a nifty feature to those who think laserbeams are futuristic and edgy, maybe. And there are probably a few hundred thousand people over age 65 who think that. But what problems are the lasers in this product solving? None; they're actually creating a useability problem.
      So ultimately, anyone who is a spokesperson for this product will need to be a Kellyanne Conway-type huckster who is eager and willing to con people rather than a brand ambassador who "gets" what the product is meant to do and is excited to make it known to the world.
      In my current role in communications, I work on communications strategy, which involves program and product planning and design and not as much on selling. It's referred to as "strategic communications," and I thought that title was kind of BS-sounding originally but my boss explained that I had always been most useful in asking probing questions to think through the "why are we doing this?" the "what is the need?" and the "where are the opportunities?" up front. This was not really my job, but it was necessary because the executives who had all the brainstorms and created efforts to be sold didn't think through or refine their ideas and promoting bad ideas is doomed to fail both the new product/service and the brand overall.
      Sometimes effective communications begins on the front end, asking and answering the questions during the design period that will be the rationales for selling once the work is done.
      It seems the executives in this video did not do the former part and are discovering here that the latter part is impossible with a poorly designed product that doesn't fill a need. That type of product is a novelty, and short of time-tested hand buzzers and whoopie cushions, novelties have niche audiences and don't sustain businesses.

      @@pokerface12309 Thanks...I think there may be some benefit to the limitations inherent in the product design if those limitations are intentional. But given how the executives tried to sell the product, I am not convinced the limitations are intentional. My sense is that the executives wanted to go out on their own from Apple and be tech entrepreneurs, they had a basic idea, they got financial investments, they ran ahead with the idea without any diligent design planning processes, and they rushed a flawed and poorly considered product to market for quick sales. It looks to me like their ambitions got the better of them, and I expect the product will not sell well. However, because of their pedigrees, I also suspect that billionaire investors will probably continue to give them hundreds of millions of dollars after their jargon-filled pitch meetings and they will become filthy rich without offering anything worthwhile, and will be paid a lot of money to write and speak about how much they learned from failure and how you can, too.

For instance, how effective is it when I'm in the bathroom, or at the swimming pool, where it might be exposed to water and humidity? Additionally, I have doubts about its comfort and stability during physical activities, such as running, where constant movement could cause it to shake on my chest.
    Observing the founders' responses to these practical concerns, it appears they might not have conducted thorough market research or consumer analysis before committing their resources to this project. This oversight leads me to question the device's potential to become a mainstream gadget or a viable alternative to smartphones. Given these factors, I am hesitant to invest in this product, and I'm concerned about the company's long-term sustainability in the market if these issues aren't addressed.

    The love the idea, but its projection feature could compromise privacy by displaying personal information publicly and is an issue for me personally! It seems more fitting for commercial use, like in warehouses for inventory management or product scanning, hospitality management, healthcare, and could efficiently replace traditional walkie-talkies or data devices in law enforcement and military operations, much like the Comm Badge in 'Star Trek'. Any job that requires communication, cameras/optics, scanning, etc. However, as a personal communication tool, its potential privacy issues make it less appealing...

It will come in really handy for lecturers if they could connect to everyone’s device and this hands or surface. Car navigation in the dark? Right on the windshield. It’s light.

It's tech that brings the old world of the pre-smartphone era back, a more (hu ma ne world) while reaping the benefits of most of the tech we have in smartphones and smartwatches. Over time products like this will catch on, especially as AI advances and becomes more capable and the rise of AI personal assistants/companions on these types of devices takes hold. The founder is a poor speaker and poor marketer of what's definitely a niece product at the moment but overtime will lead to a better functioning happier society with tech fading into the background and importantly no digital dopamine drugs and echo chambers aka social media! Price will also come down, it's a big tradeoff where you must think critically about what you gain from such a device as this AI pin! You'll gain your humanity and sanity back!
