Wearable voice assistant
Build in progress
A push-to-talk voice-capture pendant. Worn through the day and spoken to on a button press; at end of day it summarises what was said and done, updates a to-do list and surfaces who needs calling back.
Decisions
- Push-to-talk only, never always-on — a deliberate privacy choice, not a battery one.
- Validated the premise cheaply first, running phone-recorded audio through transcription before committing to hardware, then went straight to custom hardware rather than a phone-plus-Bluetooth-button prototype.
- Device captures to onboard SD, pairs to a phone app over BLE, the app holds data locally, and AI summarisation runs when connectivity is available.
- Contacts kept as a user-managed list read by the model at name-resolution time, rather than baked into a static prompt.
