I have been using it on and off for a few months since getting the device delivered through the kickstarter funding campaign . The code base keeps changing frequently and isn’t stable . But there is an active and helpful discord channel . Initially there was an option to bring your own API keys from open ai and deepgram . But now the ability to bring own api keys seems to be gone and that will concern me about privacy etc .,
. The design is simple , device collects the voice sends it to deepgram , transcript is stored on device and then shared with open ai with relevant prompts to summarise the discussion and do what ever you want through plugins that can be configured. Use it primarily as a backup / secondary notes taker in meetings . Think of it like a Microsoft teams copilot or firefly equivalent for zoom etc There is a option to store the voice and transcripts to your own gcp bucket which is nice if you want to remember / do any prompt engineering on your meeting transcripts Something like this will replace the expensive meetings / note taking apps The integration with outlook / calendar apps is flaky and the level of details and ability to setup next steps / meetings schedule through transcripts is weak
So not only does it record everybody you talk to without meaningful consent or any realistic way to escape it, but it also uploads the results to a bunch of cloud services run by sleazeballs and idiots.
