Actually, the way it works is it takes the audio in, it does an AI transcript, and then it tosses out the actual recording so you can't go back and listen to it.

It's far better than the friend pendant.

Have you worn the friend pendant?

Yeah, I lost my friend.

I have actually no idea where I lost my friend, which tells you how good of a friend it was.

I have no idea where my friend has gone.

And for those that don't know, Friend was this AI wearable that I think is still around that you can buy that you would wear on your necklace and it was being marketed as your friend.

And you would be able to press on it and talk to your friend.

But the friend didn't actually talk back.

You would have to go to the app and see what the friend had said back to you.

Difference with the B is it's sort of like a path.

This bracelet that I wore that was always recording was called the B and it was always recording.

I mean, you can tap the button to decide, hey, I don't want to record or I do want to record.

But you basically just leave this passive recording device on all day and it picks up.

Lots of things you say you're going to do and you don't remember and it adds them to your to-do list.

So just like, you know, if I said, oh, you know, Oz, after this, I'm going to send you the address to the Equinox so you can go get your massage.

B would remind me to go do that, right?

And so this passive assistant that's always listening to you, that's always a step ahead, it would summarize my days and these beautiful prose about...

how I was, you know, working with my family and working with my book and these, you know, complicated days of strife, but happiness.

It was like, you know, okay.
