Building things. Exploring what's next in AI.

[Carol Fu @CarolFu0615]

Still figuring out which of these I’d actually use every day.

But I could spend hours looking at all the weird things people are building.

Found anything I should check out?

5/ Echo Time — AI for your bedside table

Amazon introduced a new smart alarm clock with Alexa+.

Probably the most ordinary-looking gadget on this list. But that’s part of the appeal. Not every AI device needs to look like it came from the future.

4/ Rokid Color — Full-color smart glasses

Rokid unveiled glasses with a full-color Micro-LED display.

We’re getting closer to having an actual screen in front of our eyes all day. Not sure whether that’s exciting or slightly terrifying.

3/ Raven Prism — A Linux computer on your face

Standalone smart glasses running Linux, with support for native apps.

Preorders are open. I’m interested to see what developers come up with when they aren’t tied to a phone.

2/ Rokid Ring — Controlling glasses with your fingers

A smart ring that lets you navigate Rokid’s glasses with small gestures.

Honestly, the ring caught my attention more than the glasses. Sometimes you just want to tap something instead of talking to your device.

@pollenrobotics @huggingface cooool! i need one

[Carol Fu @CarolFu0615]

@juliver @dydema Using thoughts as keyboard shortcuts is kinda wild. Wonder how long it takes to get used to that.

[Carol Fu @CarolFu0615]

@markfenner @AarushYadav47 Haha same. I keep telling myself I need to catch up on AI news, but then I find one interesting thing, go down a rabbit hole, and come back to like 20 more things I missed

[Carol Fu @CarolFu0615]

The more gadgets I find, the more I wonder what interacting with AI will actually look like in a few years. Voice? Gestures? Something we haven’t thought of yet? I just hope it’s more fun than staring at another screen

[Carol Fu @CarolFu0615]

Been going down the local AI rabbit hole lately. DGX Spark is pretty cool, but I’m even more curious about the smaller devices people might actually use every day. Love the idea of having AI right there with you, without always relying on the cloud. Feels like there’s still so much room to experiment.

[Carol Fu @CarolFu0615]

Saw someone in China turn a Xiaomi TV remote into a voice controller for vibe coding. Just hold a button and talk to Claude. That’s it. Such a random idea but I love it haha.

[Carol Fu @CarolFu0615]

@adcock_brett Love this idea. The tricky part must be knowing when to jump in and when to stay quiet. How does Hark figure that out? 👀

[Carol Fu @CarolFu0615]

@XREAL_Global Love this approach! Feels way more natural for everyday life.

[Carol Fu @CarolFu0615]

@SavannahFeder I need this so bad🥹 I keep asking claude to build little custom UIs just to make things work better for my ADHD brain

[Carol Fu @CarolFu0615]

@QwenAIFans Can’t wait!! 👀

[Carol Fu @CarolFu0615]

@adcock_brett Was about to give Hark App a try, then found out it’s 18+ 🥹

[Carol Fu @CarolFu0615]

@adolandev @NousResearch love little hardware projects like this🥰

[Carol Fu @CarolFu0615]

@aditya_vellanki Love this approach. Was getting the handoff between the two a pain?

[Carol Fu @CarolFu0615]

@ElevenLabs Oh this would've been so useful last week🥹 I just finished producing a music video with visuals synced to every word and drum hit.

[Carol Fu @CarolFu0615]

Claude and I co-wrote the lyrics. Claude built every scene with Remotion + three.js, synced beat by beat. I kept things moving and weighed in on the big creative calls. I also tried an AI-generated live-action version, but it was burning through tokens 😅 Parked that one for now.

[Carol Fu @CarolFu0615]

Been thinking about local AI lately. There's something freeing about AI that still works offline.

So we made a 3-minute music video around that idea. 🎧

Music by @Mureka_AI. @claudeai directed and coded the visuals. I produced it.
