San Francisco startup OmiGPT is betting on an $89 AI wearable to stand out in a market crowded with pricey, underperforming devices. The open-source device connects directly to ChatGPT and offers context-aware functionality. Unlike competitors, OmiGPT is launching cautiously with developer kits before targeting consumers.
- OmiGPT is priced at $89, significantly cheaper than rivals like Humane AI Pin ($699) and Rabbit R1 ($199).
- The device is open-source, offers 64GB storage, and works offline with limited functionality until reconnected.
- Founder Nik Shevchenko prioritizes developer feedback before consumer launch, contrasting with competitors' rushed releases.
