A company called Lingverse (formerly known as Ling AI) says it raised $29 million in funding to build a new wearable AI device it calls the iKairos. Gu and the company aren’t ready to share specific details about what the iKairos will be capable of. In its press release, Lingverse says the iKairos will “continuously observe both you and your surroundings” and “begin to act as a personal AI guardian,” but did not clarify how that would function. iKairos watches for what matters, then seals it.” What that seems to mean—based on the visual imagery on the site—is that when the iKairos is placed in the home, it will capture moments around it and turn them into AI-generated images as memories. When asked how iKairos keeps the generated images from devolving into AI slop, a rep for the company pushed back, saying that the company will check images for quality and let users choose which images they prefer to capture a moment. Lingverse says presales of the iKairos are planned to kick off later this year.
