It can be worn as a necklace or attached to the user's head, responding to voice commands and potentially understanding when users are talking to it through a "brain interface." Initially marketed as “Friend,” the device was renamed after a naming conflict. Priced at $89, Omi can summarize conversations, create to-do lists, and is built on an open-source platform, allowing developers to create apps for it. Founder Nik Shevchenko acknowledges privacy concerns and emphasizes that human oversight remains essential in productivity roles.
