The Archive
Thoughts on memory, voice, and the devices quietly shaping how we remember. The Archive is where we explore memory-first technology, voice-based devices, and the form factors shaping how AI fits into everyday life. No announcements. No hot takes. Just ideas worth keeping.
AI and wearables. What is actually changing
A look at how artificial intelligence is changing the role of wearables, shifting them from trackers and dashboards into quieter, more supportive devices that live alongside everyday life.
AI, wearables, and cognitive load. Why this matters for ADHD
A look at how AI-powered wearables can reduce cognitive load for people with ADHD by supporting memory, context, and recall without adding more tools, steps, or distractions.
The first known wearable device
A look at the earliest wearable devices, from 17th-century abacus rings to early electronic and wearable computers, and how the idea of wearables has evolved over time.
Why memory support feels different from productivity tools
Why memory-first tools feel calmer and more effective than productivity systems, especially for people with ADHD who experience high cognitive load and frequent context switching.
The difference between AI pendants and AI rings
A clear look at the difference between AI rings and AI pendants, explaining why rings focus on health tracking while pendants are designed for transcription, memory, and recall.
A look back at Humane, its ambition to rethink screenless computing, and why its journey and eventual acquisition remain an interesting moment in the evolution of AI and wearables.
A comparison of the Rabbit R1 and the Humane AI Pin, two ambitious AI wearable devices with very different interaction models and design philosophies, and what each reveals about the future of computing.
AI assistance devices and ADHD. What actually helps
A look at how AI assistance devices are evolving to better support people with ADHD by reducing friction, capturing thoughts in real time, and helping preserve context without demanding attention.
Why form factor matters for AI devices
A look at how different AI device form factors shape the way transcription and memory fit into daily life, and why necklace-style devices tend to work best when continuity and low effort matter most.
