Rewind AI: Giving Humans Superpowers

Rewind AI is a startup that aims to give humans superpowers through a personalized AI powered by everything you've seen, said, or heard.

The technology combines innovative hardware like the pendant, a privacy-first Bluetooth microphone, with Apple's M1 chip architecture to enable local storage and processing.
