Episode notes
Hearing Loss Sparked The Mission
- Dan Siroker began losing his hearing in his 20s and found hearing aids transformative when he tried them at 30.
- That experience sparked his pursuit of technology that augments human capabilities rather than replaces them.
From Meeting Bot To Personal AI
- Limitless evolved from a meeting transcription bot to a broader product capturing everything you see, say, and hear.
- The company shifted to a cloud model that preserves local-like privacy while enabling powerful cloud AI and unlimited storage.
Only Build Hardware If Needed
- Build hardware only when software platforms prevent core user experiences like always-on capture.
- Aim to stand on others' platforms first, but create matter-based devices when OS limits break the product promise.
