Why it’s a failure
- Claims it will “operate your apps for you,” then admits it only speaks Booking.com and DoorDash on alternating Tuesdays
- Requires a monthly AI subscription so you can experience the thrill of asking for Uber and getting weather
- Touchscreen looks like it was borrowed from a 2011 gas station pump
- No phone integration, no contacts sync, no offline mode—but hey, it comes in safety-cone orange
- Marketing demos use pre-scripted videos because live ones keep defaulting to “Sorry, I didn’t catch that”
- The more you use it, the clearer it becomes that a $10 dumb phone from 2004 still does your basic chores better
What the fans say
“It’s like having a personal assistant in your pocket!”
“Which is true, if your assistant is unpaid, forgetful, and allergic to follow-up questions.”
Bottom line
If you want to talk to a tiny AI that can’t text your friends, open email, or play music, just whisper your to-do list into a banana. Same feature set, less monthly billing.
