"Roughly 12 to 15 hours of recording. On average, I use it 10-20 times per day to record 3-6 second thoughts. That’s up to 2 years of usage." They really don't seem have tested the battery life, so 2 years is probably the best case scenario here. He says there's no subscription but if you need to buy one every 2 years or less, then that's the subscription. The primary reason given for not having an option to charge is just awful: "You would probably lose the charger before the battery ran out". This is seriously a device for reviewers and youtubers to hype, make a video about it, and then it's gone.


What's unique about this ring that has less features than other "smart" rings?


If you can’t appreciate the value of less is more, this device is not for you.


I don’t know any other smart rings that do what this one does. So not sure what you mean by “less features”


The part where the battery lasts for years? Did anyone see that coming?


The battery lasts for 12-15 hours and how long you manage to stretch that out to is up to you. The site says "On average, I use it 10-20 times per day to record 3-6 second thoughts. That’s up to 2 years of usage."

So, you can use it for 30 seconds a day to get 2 years of usage. They also mention using it to control your music, the lights in your home and are assuming STT accuracy of 100% using a local model. The fallback of having to manually transcribe it from the audio recording if the STT fails is going to happen often enough that it'll get annoying. You're not going to be sending any messages to people as that will take a lot longer than 30 seconds a day.

I suspect the battery will last about 3 months if you just use it how you'd think it can be used. You would need to really discipline yourself to keep to a limit of 30 seconds of use a day.

I think they will need to end up adding some charging contacts to the surface once they start sending these things out into the wild or sales will be very limited.

How do you know how much time you have left on the ring's battery? Do you have to keep checking the app? Why not just use your phone for notes then.


I think I might have the wrong concept of meal planning. For me, it should be simple meals using fewer ingredients and most importantly reusing ingredients you already have. During the meal creation, I asked to keep it to 1 protein source, but it gave me recipes for 4 different protein types. I cannot possibly be buying salmon, chicken and 2 different cuts of meat each week. The other ingredients follow the same pattern.


I'm sorry you hit that as it should definitely respect instructions around things like protein sources and ingredient selection. I'll take a look at that.


Let me know when Brazil + Pix is supported. The feature I have not seen in any of these websites that transfer money between countries is the ability to schedule reoccurring payments. I send money to my family monthly, and it would be nice if I didn't have to do the same exact process each time.


We're literally adding it this week! Give me your email or some place to reach you, i'll notify you

You can also try the dev build at https://staging.peanut.me but it's quite unstable atm

"To plan your trip to Rome, we first need a city in Italy." Eh?


"The trip duration should be 10 days or less." What? Why?


The trip you were trying to plan might be a little confusing . I’m currently fixing the few bugs encountered. Please note that this is a beta version and, for now, trips are limited to 10 days.


Exposing my search here is probably not the best call, but that's fine since I was trying to break it.

1. You don't have enough safe guards in place for the AI. I could chat with it about any topic.

2. I can get better results from ChatGPT directly

3. There's clearly no privacy


Thanks for your feedback. I’m currently making the necessary adjustments to keep Milo focused on travel. As for the results, at the moment the AI model being used is not the most advanced, mainly for cost reasons since the app is free and still in beta.

Regarding privacy (if that’s what you meant), when an error is logged, the content of the last exchanges is indeed included so that we can better understand the source of the problem. That said, you’re right — this point should be mentioned clearly under the chat modal, and it will be implemented in a future update.

Thanks again for the constructive criticism, it’s always appreciated.


Same for me, and ironically the Upgrade to Premium button doesn't do anything :)
