Friend processes a full day of audio context in real time, Avi Schiffmann says

Avi Schiffmann says Friend has shipped an always-on AI wearable that turns incoming audio into memories it can retrieve later through a timeline-based knowledge graph. He credits its real-time context processing with allowing it to speak up “only at the right time.” In his September 11 account, he said LTE would eventually make the device fully standalone. He also claimed that, as far as he could tell, Friend was the only team to have shipped a mass-manufacturable version of this kind of proactive AI device.
