Startup Humane, which was founded by formerApple employees Imran Chaudhri and Bethany Bongiorno presented an unusual gadget - a compact assistant with artificial intelligence.
What it is
During the presentation, Chaudhry wore the devicesmall in size in your pocket and remotely gave it commands as if it were a smart speaker. Only for full operation it does not require a connection to a smartphone or any other device. Apparently, he has access to cloud services, from where he gets information.

The gadget is “awakened” by tapping or gestures.It lacks a screen, but can project an image onto any surface, even onto the palm of your hand. But there is a camera that can identify objects around. For example, the device recognized a chocolate bar in Chaudhry's hands and gave some advice based on the user's diet.
