Omi is a wearable AI device that's being marketed as a personal companion. It's a small, round orb that can be worn as a necklace or even attached to your forehead using medical tape. The device is equipped with a "brain interface" that allows it to understand when you're talking to it, eliminating the need for wake words.
Omi's AI assistant can perform various tasks, such as answering questions, summarizing conversations, creating to-do lists, and even scheduling meetings. The device is constantly listening and running conversations through GPT-4, and it can remember context about each user to offer personalized advice.
One of the notable features of Omi is its open-source platform, which allows developers to build their own applications or use the AI model of their choice. The company claims that developers have already created over 250 apps on Omi's app store.
The Omi device is priced at $89 and is expected to start shipping in the second quarter of 2025. However, a developer version is available for order today for roughly $70.
It's worth noting that the device's "brain interface" capabilities are still unclear, and it's uncertain whether it can actually read minds. Nevertheless, Omi is an interesting device that could potentially revolutionize the way we interact with AI assistants.
