James Dyson Unveils $499 CameraJet Toothbrush with AI and Water Jet

The 79-year-old inventor delivered a keynote pitch for a device that brushes and flosses simultaneously.

Trung Phan posted that James Dyson, who still owns 100 percent of his company, gave a seven-minute presentation on an AI-powered CameraJet. The device uses a 1mm camera with a 100K-pixel macro lens in the brush head to handle brushing and flossing together. Phan noted that people typically brush for 45 seconds instead of the recommended two minutes and called flossing archaic. Other users shared reactions to the $499 price and the addition of a camera. Separate posts compared Dyson's full ownership stake to equity held by founders at other firms.

James Dyson is 79 and the keynote GOAT right now. Here’s his tight 7-minute (pretty convincing) pitch for the AI-powered CameraJet ($499) that brushes and flosses at same time. Problem: average person brushes 45 seconds (under recommended 2 mins). Flossing is “archaic” and…

James Dyson still owns 100% of Dyson, which does annual sales of ~$9B. His mentor Jeremy Fry gave initial seed capital in 1979 and owned 49% of Dyson up to early-1990s. Dyson told David Senra he bought out Fry for £45k. They remained friends after (Fry left because they were…

a lesson on dilution - Sir James Dyson owns 100% of a ~$30 billion company - Dario owns ~1% of a ~$1 trillion company 🤔

  @rexsalisbury You think Dario wishes he owned 100% of Dyson instead of his 1% of Anthropic? Not sure he's shaking his fist at the heavens that he missed out on inventing the latest cool toothbrush... Or perhaps a better question: whose position would you rather be in?

James Dyson is 79 and just delivered one of the best product keynotes of the year. His pitch: toothbrushing hasn't changed in 40 years. Average person brushes 45 seconds. Flossing is archaic. So he built a toothbrush that does both at the same time. $499. → 1mm camera with…

  @TrungTPhan People think spending $40 on a Soniccare toothbrush is too much but you expect them to buy a $500 tooth brush? The Millionaires, though, they wil **LOVE** it.

  I wrote here on Dyson’s last keynote (PencilVac) and how Dyson items randomly creep up in your home. It starts with a visit to vacuum aisle at Best Buy and ends with multiple portable fans, hair dryer, hair straightener and random air filters.…
