News for hackers. Stuff that matters.

You can but don't you think that these days our brains are too precious to think about small stupid things

I'd rather listen to an AI for small things and use my brain on smth big and creative that AI cannot think about

Show HN: Omi – watches your screen, hears conversations, tells you what to do

https://github.com/BasedHardware/omi

Spent 4 months and built Omi for Desktop, your life architect: It can see your screen, hear your conversations and will advise you on what to do nextBasically Cluely + Rewind + Granola + Wisprflow + ChatGPT + Claude in one appThe hardest part was to nail proactivity - after trying 20+ simillar tools I didn't find a single one with smart proactive notifications based on your screen. I made it...

Omi | https://omi.me | Founding Engineer | SF, can start remote | Full-time | 1-10% equity | $120k+/year

Omi is a wearable AI memory that helps you recall everything important and make decisions. Put it on, speak, transcribe, summarize, automatically. In 10 months, we hit 300k users, 100M+ views, shipped 3 hardware prototypes and raised $2m from Tim Draper.

I'm Nik (Thiel Fellow, sold 2 startups incl. one to Toptal after scaling to $4M GMV). Omi is fast-moving, and looking for a founding engineer to join me. Ideal background: built/architected real products at scale (consumer or hardware).

Stack: Flutter (need to move to React Native) and C.

We move fast. You'll shape the future of wearable computing.

It's called "implied consent"

As long as you show people you are recording - it's legal

The necklace has a visible light when listening

Similar but different: this is a productivity tool, it improves your life but doesn't replace your friends

Hi, HN! I built a proactive open-source AI necklace that transforms your conversations into summaries, proactive feedback, and insights

I built this because I want to use it myself: many companies are advertising such technology but no one is shipping

The app can work with or without wearables so you can try the experience without buying anything

--- Update: wasn't expecting this post to get attention, so please let me know if I need any special tags like Show HN

Do you tell the same to millions of people who wear headphones and Meta Raybans?

Right now it connects directly to the internet! Still have to finish bluetooth stuff so that it could connect to the phone directly

Hey everyone! Nik, one of creators of Whomane here! Never expected to see a post on HN about our own product - thank you!

Stack: Hardware Setup: Raspberry Pi, Pi sugar battery, V2.1 camera and button Software: Firebase + python + nextJS

You can try it out here without any registrations: https://whomane.com/

Github link: https://github.com/Whomane/Whomane

Announcement: https://twitter.com/kodjima33/status/1765856439413964943

Oh this is pretty cool actually! I recently build similar: https://www.linkedin.com/posts/nik-shevchenko-08565b18b_no-o...

Just reached out to you on LinkedIn and email!

Not yet. Which apps would you like to see?
Damn these are amazing use-cases that we didn't even think of! Thank you so much for posting this

Will study thoroughly and implement it

We don't yet use RAG and collect memories time-based. Hoping to implement RAG soon For data privacy, we are adding 2 options to store your data: locally and on the server
We are adding a feature where you can select to only record your voice - other voices will be ignored

How: you'll calibrate your voice when opening an app

Thank you for pre-ordering, but as I mentioned in the post, the main difference is that it's just 7x cheaper than alternatives and already live (i.e. you can try it, versus other products you can't try yet cuz they are not released)
this is a great idea This is how we would solve it

1) We probably wouldn't add "modes" but we will add different "coaches" with different styles => for example if you need sales/pitching, you'll select "Tony Robbins", if you need a business person, you select Elon Musk

2) We will be able to solve your problem with "request'" So if you say "Hey Sama" and then, tell "Sama" to become "masterful negotiator coach" until the end of the day => it will become one

Hey! yes, this is on our roadmap for the next week! We plan to use Whisper and will calibrate with your voice like Siri does it.

We believe it's one of the most important features

we also want to make sure that everything Is privacy preserved and we don't record conversations other than the user's

Hi HN community, I'm Nik, Anhphu and Ansh

We built a proactive AI mentor that records your memory via iOS app or hardware and gives you feedback

Remembering real-life conversations and gaining insights from them is challenging. Whether it's for personal growth or effective communication, losing track of important details can be frustrating and counterproductive.

We built this app because we saw lots of wearable hardware but always wondered why you can’t use your phone to record memories and try this experience on the hardware you already have (your phone) without buying anything

Sama AI is an iOS app that listens to your conversations, offers feedback, and helps you retrieve specific details later. It's designed with a focus on privacy, ensuring only textual summaries are stored to respect user consent.

The main difference from other solutions is that it’s already a working product you can already try it on your phone before buying any hardware.

We plan to make money by offering subscriptions for additional features later. We also offer hardware “AI Pin” for $99 which is 7x cheaper than existing alternatives

We're here for your thoughts, experiences, and feedback. How can Sama AI better serve your needs? What features would you like to see? Thank you for any insights you can provide!
