absolutely magical to be in the moment with these views while still being able to capture the memory, all while not being distracted by my phone
these photos! 😍
fun fact: before joining
@Humane
I was a prototyper on the team that made the vision pro! huge congrats on launch - it’s impressive, kudos to an incredible team 🎉
Both products seem so dif. But at the core we are united in redesigning the role of tech in our lives. Thats 🪄
wanted to share a sneak peek of 📆 calendar integration- coming to your

Ai Pin so so soon!
I swear I will never be late to a meeting ever again (or i’ll dial in while 🛴ing) 🤟🏻

this time, on the streets of barcelona 🇪🇸
you can now search the world around you with
@Humane
ai pin 🗺️ this was a fun feature to add in 😌
"coffee shops near me?”
“any jazz bars around here?"
"smoothies. I want. where"
"im in the mood for dancing, where nearby?”
“where can I see cute dogs?”
happy exploring! 🌎🌏🌍
This week's lineup of Ai Pin improvements:

nearby!! my favorite feature ❤️🔥 (a bit biased - I designed and even engineered it)
came from a love of travel, culture, architecture, and loads of wandering neighborhoods. exploring will never be the same 🌎🌍🌏

ai pin are such a vibe! i’m obsessed
obsessed enough to make this whacky 🤪 vid and post it on here
enjoy 🤟🏻🫶🏻
all ai pins internally + a small number externally are now running gpt-4o!
still early, but so far lots of great improvements:
14% decrease in latency
28% shorter answers
33% fewer bad answers
beyond the numbers, everything just feels smarter and more accurate (as expected)
mwc. barcelona. half way done. 2 more days to come see the pin. we would love to show you while we still have our voices (if you bring us tea, we would love you forever)
idk yall, i still think things are looking up, because we are building to do just that - to look up
everything good takes time, and a moment in the dark too

ooooh la la! this vid 🫶🏻 behind each of these features was many (many) hours of discussion, thought, and experimentation. this team is one of a kind!!
and a small tidbit - that emoji picker was finished at 4 am, i’d pull an all nighter any day for tidbits that bring joy 🥹

on this 🔥
some fun UIs coming up that have been such a joy to create! 😌
right on. if we want to change the tech landscape we have to be brave in putting novel ideas out there. lots of obstacles (like mentioned here) but worth the roller coaster to make the tech world more open and human
humane is just one of these companies, hopefully more to come

just officially launched today and reviews are in. Here's why a non-FAAMG company is going to get bashed by the media:
1. FAAMG drives so much revenue for these tech reviewers, if they say something bad they’ll get blacklisted.
So even when they botch a

at sk telecom, come say hi and to try out the laser!
and, find our other teammates at the qualcomm booth. we have stickers 🙌🏻
(captured on ai pin ft skt’s ai inflection pyramid, how fitting)
but like… what if ai can just design unhinged funny stuff for you… to make fun of whatever thing you want…?
and like can it just drop ship that to you??

@internetvin
@Humane
you can either use ai mic (“capture this”) or double tap with two fingers to take a photo, then the ai photographer automatically edits the photo for you - crops, rotates, grades and makes it look 😍 all to keep you in the moment
Only 4 more days until Silly Hacks! + we have some fun news!
To support more hackers, we're excited to announce satellite locations in San Francisco and Boston for Saturday, alongside our NYC event at Betaworks.
A huge thank you to

for hosting!
an eclipse offers the time to marvel and reflect - on nature, scale, time, presence, change
and oh my, so much is happening this year (like
@Humane
shipping devices!)
what a time to be alive
oh my i never check twitter BUT if you are in NYC or SF I made an app that allows you to see old photos from the public library in your exact location and its ON THE APP STORE! 🎉 🌆 NYC: 🌉 SF: 🎉
@tylerangert
you are spot on - more cooking behind the scenes 😌 def a balance between what is efficient and what we know people would want (like nice ui for stocks) and then the far out vision that new ai approaches enable!
@sethsaler
hey seth - we are working on this (we hear you, would be nice to plug in your existing number)! in a world where different companies control proprietary messaging networks, number sharing and connecting other services is more complex than it seems. but it is in our roadmap!
but the ui work is just one part of the puzzle! it builds off years of iteration, one heck of a location system (our gps team is top notch 🔥), and so much beautiful eng by so many that makes this possible! team work does make the dream work

appreciate the support for team humane 🙏🏻! we have the ability to make a new type of tech company, one that brings people in and listens and builds for all of us. would not be possible without people like you! ✨
@bakewastaken
@Humane
wow i speak fast! fit an explanation of a super magical feature into a < 15 sec span (on international roaming!) all while looking up. if it took as long as searching this on a phone i would have time to show even more ways the pin is amazing! :D
volume is, obviously, adjustable
@sethsaler
for now I personally have a dozen friend/family on there and use my pin for spontaneously calling/messaging them. i find people get used to this pretty quickly!
@TonyJMatos
@Humane
totally!! these tell such a human story - like blinking your eyes and saving that beautiful ephemeral moment (and sharing with friends!)
@lizelle
@Humane
two ways - either through ai mic (tap and hold) and say “capture this” or similar, or two finger double tap on the touchpad 😌 all feels seamless

@onlyfootnotes
@Humane
thanks for coming by, was a joy getting to show you the pin! cant wait for you to get your pin officially so soon and start using it out in the world, really excited to hear your thoughts! 😌
@lachlanjc
yes yes yes love everything you are saying!! def something we are thinking about and would love to hear your thoughts, nav is def on the road map with the first poke at this hopefully coming soon 🙏🏻
@hunter
@kocienda
it feels warm to the touch when it overheats (this only lasts a few min), def not burning. it rarely happens bc main cause is using the laser consecutively for more than a few min, while usual daily use is voice with the occasional laser in. i use my pin all the time w no issues!
