OmiGPT, a wearable AI device priced at $89, offers a lightweight alternative in the AI wearable market. Unlike other costly AI devices, OmiGPT connects to OpenAI's ChatGPT and can be worn on the wrist or as a necklace. Designed with 64GB of storage, it processes conversations and data online and saves information locally when offline. CEO Nik Shevchenko emphasizes a cautious rollout using developer kits to ensure real-world utility before targeting everyday consumers. OmiGPT's features include conversation capture, reminder setting, speech translation, and tone mimicry. It operates offline but functions optimally when connected online. The device lacks a speaker for privacy, with plans for future AI-powered glasses and advanced functionalities being considered. Pre-orders for the device are set to ship in Q2 2025, reflecting a shift toward practicality in the wearable AI sector, as exemplified by the failures of other high-profile devices like the Humane AI Pin and Rabbit R1.
