I recently bought a Pocket AI device Because it looked like it could be really useful if I am at a Doctor appointment or something where I could really bebefit from some good notes after the fact.
- Form Factor: A tiny, minimalist device that often attaches to the back of a smartphone (via MagSafe) or clips to clothing.
- Key Functionality: It uses a combination of standard and “contact” microphones to record in-person meetings and phone calls natively (bypassing smartphone OS recording restrictions).
- AI Integration: It syncs with an app to provide instant transcripts, summaries, and action items using models like GPT-4o or Claude 3.5.
- Best Use Case: Professionals who want to automate note-taking for client calls, interviews, or spontaneous brainstorming sessions.
My first test of the device was when my wife and I sat down for dinner and watch an episode of the Netflix series Vikings.
The result was absolutely hilarious. I’d post it here but without context it would be meanlingless.
But believe me, reading its summarization of a 10 minute segment of the show produced the most hilarious commentary I could believe.
These devices are very new, and I am sure mine will be outdated within months. But I would suggest you try one out, you will not be disappointed.
I wonder, if there is an opportunity here? Could this be turned into a Party Game? The way it crossed conversations and meaning was so hilarious I imagine new products along this vein.
