Omi, formerly known as Friend.
Good:
- Open source
- about 1/10th the price of an Ai Pin.
But not a similar device to the Pin:
- Always listening (vs the Pin's touch requirement)
- No on-device visual UI (vs Pin's laser ink)
- On-device AI (vs. multiple cloud-based models)
- No cellular service
- Not released for general use yet (a dev kit is not a consumer product)
