@AIinAmerica@Scobleizer@Looki_ai Not swappable at home, but hit us up if the battery ever gives out — we'll take care of it through official service. 🤙
Grok says: "One of the most valuable parts of the video (minutes 25–32) is Yang proactively tackling the exact concerns you mentioned in the post: privacy, the “freaky factor,” and security. He doesn’t dodge; he leans in and demonstrates solutions live."
And...
"This video is a compelling pitch not just for the Looki L1, but for the entire category of always-on AI wearables."
And...
"It was genuinely insightful to watch." (Sycophancy alert).

Back in 1995 Microsoft had a research group in San Francisco that was wearing cameras all day long, discovering how an always-worn camera would change human life. I interviewed that team long ago. They called their camera “Sense Cam.”
Today @Looki_ai came to my house to give me one. Here is founder/CEO Yang Sun telling me what it, and the assistant it empowers, does.
And he takes on all the harsh criticism that will come its way. Privacy. Freaky factor. Security.
I have wanted one for 20 years. And now I have it and am honored to be wearing it now.

Daily travel, leisure, or cycling —the L1 records it all with ease.
Its versatile design fits every style and scene, from casual outings to urban adventures.
Magnetic Lanyard ensures a steady hold—no shaky frames, no filming anxiety.
Our recent Facebook Group survey showed 43% want an AI to recap their day—and Looki L1’s AI Daily Recap delivers just that. ⬇️
“Puppy snuggles, cookie moments, morning doodles… Let Looki L1’s AI Daily Recap turn your day’s chaos into a tidy memory reel. ✨”
Just read @kirbyman01's piece — felt like meeting a kindred spirit. Couldn’t agree more: AI needs a body.
I’m the founder & CEO of Looki. We built Looki L1 — the world’s first multimodal AI wearable. Bryan, would love for you to try it!
AI is the most important technology of our lifetimes, and we shoved it in a text box.
Today, most of us experience AI through a single interface: typing. But what would be the best way to interact with near omniscient, increasingly multi-modal intelligence we created?
History says hardware is really hard. Naval calls it impossible. At Snap, I worked in consumer hardware – I viscerally know why people say this. It’s because it’s true.
And yet, I keep meeting sharp, ambitious young founders building in it anyway and it’s simply too compelling to ignore.
They’re working on glasses, pins, rings, lamps, microchips, and devices we haven’t imagined yet. All chasing the same goal: give AI a real presence in our lives.
AI improves exponentially with richer context. Not just the words we type, but what we see, hear, and do. To gather that context, it can’t be trapped in a laptop. It has to move with us.
Big tech should lead here, but won’t. The constraints are too tight. The leap will come from new founders who instinctively understand what people will wear, carry, and love and who will take risks incumbents can’t.
Why this opportunity is hard to ignore, despite my experience:
- Marginal cost of software creation is near zero - now what?
- Context makes AI infinitely more useful + hardware collects it passively
- Social norms evolve fast when the utility is undeniable
We’re at the start of that shift. The form factor is still open. And I am very energized by the founders building in this space.
@lyvidian1@Looki_ai it is 1080p@30fps, we’re using Sony’s IMX681 CMOS sensor, the same one Meta chose for Ray-Ban, so the image quality is more than good enough. And no sub fee by default unless you want access to advanced AI features, more info on https://t.co/l8lyEYYK9F
