Covid-era whiz kid is back, and he brought a Friend — a wearable, always listening, $99 AI companion
This isn’t a joke, though it almost seems like one. It uses Llama 3.1, and supposedly the conversation data stays on the device and gets forgotten over time (through what the founder calls a rolling “context window”).
The implementation is interesting, and you can see the founder talking about earlier prototypes and project goals in interviews from several months ago.
iOS only, for now.
