Avi Schiffmann, a 21-year-old Harvard dropout, recently brought a new wearable AI product calledTab AINecklace. Users can hang this necklace around their necks, which uses a microphone and battery to record conversations around them 24 hours a day for 30 hours, and transmit the audio to their phones and the cloud via Bluetooth.
Since it began accepting pre-orders in October 2023, Tab AI has successfully attracted $100,000 in pre-sales, with each unit priced at $600, including a one-year service fee of $50 per month. The product's differentiation strategy is to monitor the user's voice 24/7 and analyze the user's entire life content through large model technology, aiming to become a smart life companion, which is different from traditional sports and health tracking devices.
Avi Schiffmann created a successful COVID-19 tracking website at the age of 17, and founded the non-profit website "Ukraine Take Shelter" to help Ukrainian displaced people at the age of 19. As the founder of Tab AI, he plans to make it a "silently waiting"AI Companion, similar to ChatGPT, can provide a non-judgmental and transparent relationship, becoming the user's creative partner, life coach or therapist.
The design focus of Tab AI is how to transform conversations into valuable insights. Schiffmann said that if Tab AI can provide enough useful information, users will be more likely to accept the reality of being continuously recorded. The successful pre-sale of this AI necklace also highlights the market demand for new smart wearable devices.
