I’m a Humane employee who has worked on nearly all the Ai features in the product. We’re very happy to get this out into the world and start getting feedback!

The Comm Badge was never meant to be a full interaction device, just a point to point communicator. Since it has limited UX capability, a single use case made sense.

Why are you trying to do something totally different with what appears to be an obviously constrained interaction paradigm?

Your AI hallucinated it's answer about the location of the eclipse. Why was this a) allowed to happen, and b) included in the video without fact-checking?

Two questions, with no obligation to answer them:

- What's the argument for using this instead of a full-fat computer with ambient capabilities? (think iPhone/Siri or Android/Assistant)

- How does Humane expect the $699 price point to develop in the future? Is the intention to bring prices down, or capabilities up?

The price point is $700 plus a $24 monthly subscription.

I get that this has and needs a constant cellular connection, which ain't free, but $700 + $300~/year is going to make this niche.

For comparison, my main smartphone is cheaper by both measures. You can go buy an iPhone 13 ($600) and hook it up to T-Mobile's Connect plans for $180/year ($15/month, 3.5 GB/month unlimited talk/text).

This frames itself as a smartphone replacement, but realistically it is a rich person's toy.

So when will it launch in Poland and or Europe?

One question is does it work over Wifi when there is no wireless coverage?

Also what would roaming costs do when you travel?
