"Sandbar is developing an AI-powered smart ring with a single and predominant use case. Its Stream Ring is an AI-powered note-taker and thought organizer that users can whisper into. The accompanying app organizes ideas and lists as the user talks. Then, the ring talks back, and, get this, does so in your own voice."
"Thoughts bubble up constantly, especially when we're on the go. I wanted to capture thoughts or discuss ideas without pulling out a phone or speaking into the void. Importantly, I wanted that experience to feel like inner dialogue, not a conversation with a virtual companion," Mina Fahmi, CEO and co-founder of Sandbar, said in the product announcement's press release."
"The aluminum-clad ring resembles an average accessory, but features a flat crown that serves as a touchpad. Users press and hold it to their mouth to activate the AI. The ring must be pressed to activate the mic. Additionally, the touchpad can be used to control music playing in earbuds."
Sandbar has developed the Stream Ring, an AI-powered smart ring designed to capture whispered thoughts and turn them into organized notes and lists. Users press the ring's flat crown to their mouth to activate an onboard microphone; the app transcribes and organizes ideas as the user talks. The ring can reply using a synthesized version of the user's own voice through an Inner Voice feature. The aluminum-clad device also functions as a touchpad for music control in earbuds. The founders, Mina Fahmi and Kirak Hong, bring neural interface experience from CTRL-Labs. The product targets people who want a discreet, on-the-go inner-dialogue capture tool.
