@lazyapoorv The editing team absolutely cooked with this one. Loved every second of it. Can't wait for everyone to experience the real deal.
@lazyapoorv @TechCrunch "...not just record you." Ah so they will control AI agents AND record you (for maximum data-mining-and-selling potential!)
@lazyapoorv Congrats @lazyapoorv and @AinaInterface team! Loved the video 🔥
Positive users congratulated Aina on its $5.5M raise and expressed eagerness to try the intent-anticipating AI hardware interface, while negative users dismissed it as another overhyped failure like Rabbit with privacy and latency risks.

@Scobleizer Sounds kinda meh tbh
Everyone became an AI hardware skeptic the day Humane and Rabbit went down. Fair enough. Both of those teams were shipping their first product ever, and it showed. Apoorv Shankar has spent a decade in hardware. He was VP Hardware at Ultrahuman, built the Ring AIR, and won a Red Dot for it. This year Project Mirage shipped Dune, a context-aware keypad people actually have on their desks. Now he has raised $5.5M to build the interface that comes after the keyboard and the touchscreen, and he is keeping it in stealth as Aina. I have no idea what the thing is yet. That track record is enough to make me pay attention. @AinaComputer #aina

Remember Humane? Remember the Rabbit R1? Remember how Jony Ive and OpenAI have been promising a device for more than a year, and still nothing? So far, AI hardware is just smoke and mirrors. Here is a new attempt at building something useful: a context-aware hardware interface. It looks like they are thinking about this from an AI-first perspective. Not sure how this will work, but I imagine it would be something like the now-defunct Mac touchpad that used to ship with every laptop? Will see.
After completely switching to a mic to interact with agents, I feel like AI hardware interfaces are about to take off. A space to watch closely, and this team has taken the challenge to rethink the input layer for the AI era. Very curious to see where @AinaInterface takes this.
OpenAI and Worklouder was in the news yesterday for their new hardware and today its Aina. AI is moving out of chat windows and into real-world interfaces. And Aina just raised $5.5 M. 2 years of AI in a chat window and now everyone's racing to devices.
Aina (previously Project Mirage) is building a new kind of interface for the AI era, something beyond keyboards and touchscreens. There's no reason why AI should inherit the old ways of interaction (watch video). I am extremely intrigued to see what this will be like! @AinaComputer

He makes the little keyboard that was ahead of OpenAI's announcement yesterday of a keyboard that does the same (pulls up agents, amongst other things). Proud to be testing his latest.
We raised $5.5M to build an AI hardware interface that knows what you want. The world has changed: we talk to our devices, AI writes our emails, and self-driving cars pick us up. But how we interact with it all, touchscreens and keyboards, was designed for an age of browsing and searching. When we do hundreds of tasks a day, now even more with AI, every unnecessary decision, every step spent navigating instead of acting adds up to real cognitive load. We are building the Hardware Interface, designed for the age of AI. Private Pilot now open. Limited spots. https://www.aina.com/

It has been too long since something sexy has come out of the hardware/wearable space. Very excited to see teams re-thinking HCI
