Architectureepisodic-buffer / Always-listening companion pendant with emotional response
DetailsFriend is a $99 pendant worn on a lanyard that contains a microphone and connects to the user's phone via Bluetooth. It runs Claude 3.5 as its conversational model and is designed as an emotional support companion — recognizing tone and mood and sending proactive messages. Unlike productivity-focused wearables, Friend deliberately does not generate work summaries but functions as an empathetic conversational presence.
