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.
