AI OS Devices: Revolutionizing Interaction Beyond Screens

Posted on by

You thought it, I thought it, and as soon as we see a video or interview, we feel that everyone else sees the problem. The newly released AI OS powered devices all use your voice to communicate with it. When discussing, everyone does the same thing, they say they are in a meeting and need to check an incoming message, lifting their hand as if holding and reading the screen of a mobile phone.

There is the problem, we are trying to fit the new interaction with a current standard we have become accustomed to. Our lives have to have that large screen pocket device interaction in order to get done what we need. Sometimes, someone will say they go down a rabbit hole with their phone or that they really should spend less time on it, but there is a need to be connected so few are able to find a path. 

There appears to be a possible path with the Hu.ma.ne AI Pin and Rabbit AI R1. Both offer an interface that requires your voice to make requests, they have a button to activate when the voice exchange will happen and a minimal screen. The Rabbit R1 with a small color screen and scroll wheel, while the Humane Pin uses a touch sensitive pad and laser projection. 

Neither of these solutions will be acceptable to use in a meeting, and that is their strength. What if everyone was fully engaged in a meeting, would the meeting go faster? Would the meeting have better results? Would people think twice if the meeting was actually needed? An alert can still be received, but there isn’t a group of people sidetracked in the meeting as they just check their email real quick but then click on their social alert for a quick bit of humor… why not, the meeting is going nowhere. Problem solved.

The AI OS driven devices also have a camera, while they can both be used to snap photos for additional information, the Hu.ma.ne Pin also offers a distraction free quick snapshot of a family time without getting out and holding up a pocket mobile device.

The future of AI OS devices bring the power of knowledge when we need it, they can be asked questions and present information. As well, they can tie together what we used to do across multiple apps to take action on. Adding a take away or todo is a tap and then speak. Perhaps everything shouldn’t be said out loud in a grocery store, everyone doesn’t need to know your lab results, but no one should be cutting themselves off from everything. They should explore a time when they don’t need to take their phone out of their pocket or bag to get things done. Simplifying their life and being more engaged while still being able to find out the diameter of the moon when the need arises.

AI Evolution: Shifting from Apps to Integrated Solutions

Posted on by

In the ever-evolving landscape of technology, a significant paradigm shift is underway. The focus is shifting from using multiple, distinct applications for different tasks to embracing AI solutions that integrate data from various sources, streamlining processes and enhancing efficiency. Here I will cover a touch of the path to get here and will delve into the progress and implications of this transition.

In the emerging framework, the operating system is not just a platform for running applications; it has evolved into a dynamic hub that amalgamates content and services from various apps. This integration eliminates the need for users to jump across different applications, providing a seamless experience. The OS now does the heavy lifting, allowing for more streamlined and efficient workflows.

Historically, there have been attempts to create such integrated systems. The Apple Newton, for instance, allowed apps to access information from other applications. However, it faced challenges in adequately controlling Personally Identifiable Information and other sensitive data.

Similarly, Microsoft once proposed the idea that there was no need for traditional file folders, advocating that everything should be findable via the Windows search function. This solution felt ahead of its time, foreshadowed the current trend towards more fluid data management.

The Google ecosystem attempts to offer a solution where users could find anything they created, like documents and spreadsheets. However, it struggles with more complex queries, such as searching for notes from a specific meeting about a particular subject. This limitation highlights the challenges of traditional search algorithms in handling nuanced and context-rich data queries.

The advent of Generative Pre-trained Transformers (GPT) with OpenAI has marked a new era. It encourages apps to tie into ChatGPT’s extensive reach, allowing developers to expand their functionalities by calling on multiple data sources and features. This integration signifies a move towards a more interconnected and intelligent application ecosystem.

The ability to schedule a meeting within multiple people’s available time, set to the right length with notes and follow up emails is a simple example of what has taken multiple apps and time previously being a single interface.

A notable example of this trend is the Rabbit AI R1 device announced at the 2024 CES event. It amalgamates information and presents it in a way individual apps would, but it leverages the data and management capabilities of numerous resources via their LAM. Rabbit created a LAM, large action model, that understands and executes human intentions on computers. Being a cloud-based solution, it requires constant internet access, for a speedy response. Highlighting a dependency on network connectivity.

For areas with limited or no internet access, on-device AI capabilities are crucial. While many regions still suffer from inadequate cellular coverage, having on-device processing ensures that essential functions remain available, albeit with some limitations in accessing updated information.

Despite the advancements in on-device processing, the need for updated information remains a critical aspect, inherently tied to internet access. This reliance underscores the importance of developing technologies that can balance on-device capabilities with the necessity of real-time data updates from the internet.

2023 marked the era of AI excelling in generating and revising text, as well as creating images. 2024 is poised to be the year where AI Agents will take on complete workflows.
