AI gadgets like the Ai Pin and the R1 came out earlier than they should have. They're buggy or missing features that were originally promised as a reason why these devices would be better than a smartphone running an AI chatbot app.
The general consensus seems to be that these AI gadgets could 'just be an app' on your phone. Many devices with a single purpose could be an app or have been replaced by an app, but that doesn't mean standalone hardware shouldn't exist for those who prefer it.
It's inevitable that many AI features giving these devices reasons to exist will be integrated into phones. AI has opened the door for companies to experiment with alternative form factors due to voice input.
