Well. Color me convinced a bit. I took a little time to compare where your at now to where Ring began with Doorbot. It’s not improbable that this can take off.
I’m not a product guy. Or a tech guy for that matter. Do you have any preparations in mind for Apple’s progress with AI (viz. their partnership with Google)? I don’t even know if the actual implementation would satisfy your vision with regard to everything staying local though.
Starting with an iPad for prototyping made me wonder why this didn’t begin as just an app. Or why not just ship the speaker + the app as a product.
You don’t have sketches? Like ballpoint pen on dot grid paper? This is me trying to nudge you away from the impression I get that the website is largely AI-scented.
After making my initial remarks (a purposely absurd one that I was actually surprised got upvoted at all), I checked your resume and felt a disconnect between your qualifications and the legitimate doubt I described in my comment.
To be honest my impression was mostly led by the contents of the website itself, speculation about the quality/reliability of the actual product followed.
I don’t want to criticize you and your decisions in that direction but if this ambition is legitimate it deserves better presentation.
Do you have any human beings involved in communicating your vision?
