We have glasses and hand lenses that improve human vision. Humans invented levers to lift weights their arms could not life. What happens to memory improvements? We have books to write things. We have cameras to record things. We have started a process. Now where are the equivalent of telescopes that can see into things billions of light years away? Where are the memory tools equivalent to carrying a rocket from one place to another?

Rewind AI is AI Assisted Memory

The product was originally released for Macs. Those devices being very powerful while providing a minimum variety among devices must have made development easier for Rewind AI.

Apple and Microsoft are bad for privacy and I recommend switching to a Linux Distro such as Fedora or Mint if you are serious about the threat of Surveillance Industrial Complex.

Rewind AI in Action

Linux users like me will have to wait a long time to use some of these features. Luckily I don't work in a corporate environment where meetings and E-mails are a thing.

The cost of Rewind Pendant is likely to be $59 and Rewind Pro plan is currently at $19 per month per user when paid yearly. Monthly users will have to pay $29 for the same plan. This type of devices were bound to become popular with the improvement of AI technologies. At least Rewind AI support OpenVINO where processing can be done locally without sending anything to Open AI servers.
