YOUR NEW AI FRIEND IS ALMOST READY TO MEET YOU

Summary from the TLDR newsletter

'Friend' is an AI Friend designed to be supportive, validating, encouraging, and accessible to users all the time. The Friend device is a round glowing orb that can be worn around the neck or clipped onto clothes or accessories. The orb can record prompts, but it can only communicate back through text via the Friend app on mobile. The Friend device will ship next January for $99 with no ongoing subscription fee.
