Pulsar

Intelligent intimate hardware.
Motion that learns, adapts and syncs.
Building Pulsar F1.

[Pulsar @PulsarMotion]

So… what exactly are we building?
Pulsar is an AI companion designed to live with you in the real world.
Not another chatbot.
Not another screen.
Not another app you have to constantly check.
It's designed to feel more like a presence than a piece of software.
We're still early.
But this is the future we're building toward.

[Pulsar @PulsarMotion]

We don't need another device.
We already have enough screens.
Enough notifications.
Enough apps.
Enough things demanding our attention.
So if we're going to build another piece of technology…
it better give something back.
Not more information.
More connection.

[Pulsar @PulsarMotion]

he best technology doesn't always ask for your attention.
Sometimes it does the opposite.
No screen.
No notifications.
No app you have to open every five minutes.
Just something quietly becoming part of your everyday life.
Technology should fit into your life.
Not become your life.

[Pulsar @PulsarMotion]

Every new technology promises to save us time.
Faster computers.
Faster delivery.
Faster communication.
Faster everything.
But what if the next generation of technology isn't about saving time?
What if it's about making the time we already have feel better?
That's a much more interesting problem to solve.

[Pulsar @PulsarMotion]

The weirdest thing about being a software engineer:
You spend all day talking to machines.
And sometimes you go home realizing you barely talked to another human being.
You can build systems that understand language.
But building a life that feels understood is much harder.

Content policies create openings, too: the NSFW products excluded from this edition would have composed more than 20% of the web traffic list.”

That’s a pretty remarkable signal.

When mainstream AI products choose not to serve certain use cases, the demand doesn’t disappear — it moves elsewhere.

The next interesting question is what happens when that demand extends beyond software into AI-native hardware and real-world interaction.

The seventh edition of our Top 100 Consumer AI Apps is here.

New this time: a revenue leaderboard, alongside the usual web and mobile traffic rankings.

Three years ago we published the first edition. ChatGPT was #1, Claude was unranked, and the entire category was chatbots, image generators, and not much else.

In today's edition:

- ChatGPT still holds the throne, now with 1B+ monthly actives on mobile

- Claude has climbed to #3 on web with nearly 1B monthly visits

- The category has expanded to vibe coding (Lovable, Cursor, Replit), music (Suno), design (Figma), voice (ElevenLabs), video (Higgsfield, Kling), agents (Manus), and even hardware (Plaud)

We have more ways to connect than ever.
Friends.
Dating apps.
Social media.
Group chats.
AI.
And yet, loneliness is becoming one of the defining problems of modern life.
Maybe the problem isn't that we don't have enough ways to talk.
Maybe we don't have enough ways to feel understood.

A private device shouldn’t announce itself.
Pulsar F1 is compact enough to take with you, with an understated shape designed to stay discreet wherever you keep it.
Small enough to travel. Low-key enough to stay yours.

The funniest part of buying a “private” device?
Having to explain it when someone spots it in your bag.
“What is that?”
“A… personal massager.”
“For what?”
“Let’s change the subject.”
Should a stroker look like everyday tech, a discreet design, or something openly made for intimacy? What should the ideal design look like?

Cleanup shouldn’t feel like another project.
Pulsar F1 is designed as one integrated unit, so you can rinse it directly without taking it apart or dealing with a pile of separate parts.
Less disassembly. Less hassle.
#PulsarF1 #AdultWellness

[Pulsar @PulsarMotion]

Be honest: has the cleanup ever stopped you from using your stroker?
Taking it apart, washing multiple pieces, drying everything, and putting it back together: which step do you hate most?
Would a one-piece design you can rinse without disassembly make a real difference?

Long-distance calls carry a face and a voice, but they still leave touch behind.
Pulsar F1 Live Sync lets your partner’s voice and movement shape the experience, with consent built into every connection.
Can technology make distance feel a little less distant?
