Rewind AI: A Privacy-First Approach to Personalized AI

Dan, CEO and co-founder of Rewind AI, shares the vision behind their pendant device.

This led him on a quest to explore how technology can augment human capabilities. The pendant is designed to capture and remember everything you see and hear, allowing for perfect memory and improved communication. The focus is on personalized productivity, prioritizing privacy and offering a better user experience.
