When Humane introduced its Ai Pin, it painted a vivid picture of a world filled with dedicated AI devices, an addition to the smartphones we carry daily. However, the initial reception and sales haven't been as stellar as hoped. Returns even surpassed unit sales at one point, leading Humane to lower the price from $700 to $500. Despite the device still being on the market, the future of the company remains uncertain, yet it isn't short on funds with over $230 million in its coffers.

Introducing CosmOS: A Game-Changer

Now, Humane is presenting something fresh - CosmOS, an operating system that holds the potential to transform all our tech devices. In a captivating demo video, it showcased the OS running seamlessly on a car's entertainment system, a smart speaker, a TV, and an Android phone.

What CosmOS Represents

In many aspects, CosmOS gives a glimpse into what Amazon's Alexa, Google Assistant, or Apple's Siri could evolve into when combined with AI agent-like capabilities. It's a voice assistant that can handle complex queries and interact with other apps and services on our behalf. For instance, in the car, one can ask CosmOS to turn up the heat at home and also inquire about when people are coming over tonight. This shows its ability to multitask and understand context.

Based on the Ai Pin's OS

Humane emphasizes that CosmOS is built upon the operating system that powers its Ai Pin. As stated in the video, "This intelligent conductor seamlessly coordinates various AI models, data sets, services, and device capabilities to deliver a fluid, intuitive experience." It's a testament to the company's belief in the power of their existing technology.

Multimodal and Multi-Step Use Cases

On the TV, CosmOS presents a multimodal and multi-step use case. Say you ask how many goals a soccer player has scored this season. The AI assistant can identify the player based on the screen and provide an accurate answer. This showcases its advanced visual recognition and query-solving abilities.

Smartphone Integration

Regarding smartphone integration, the demo reminds us of Apple's pitch for a better Siri powered by Apple Intelligence at WWDC earlier this year. With CosmOS, it understands what's on your screen and can interact with your calendar in the background, enhancing the overall user experience.

Third-Party Developer Potential

Humane claims that third-party developers will be able to create integrations between CosmOS and their "agents, data, and services." This opens up a world of possibilities, allowing for a more personalized and interconnected tech ecosystem. However, the demo video also gives the impression of a sales pitch, as it seems to be testing the waters for potential acquisition and repurposing of the software in other products.
