Editorial summaries

Hey Pocket

Hey Pocket, by Open Vision Engineering (San Francisco, a Y Combinator W26 company; CEO Akshay Narisetti previously built Omi), is a screenless AI voice recorder and 'thought companion'. The 52-gram device works standalone and MagSafe-attaches to the back of a phone, with dual studio microphones plus a contact microphone for calls and on-device storage, running multi-model cloud AI (routing across GPT-5, Claude, and Gemini) for transcription in 120+ languages, summaries, mind maps, action items, and an Ask-Pocket Q&A feature. It sells for $99 at launch against a $199 regular price, with a free core and, distinctively, no subscription required (an optional Pocket Pro plan is $19.99 a month). DEPLOY records it at commercial maturity: a real, shipping product (live iOS and Android apps), not vaporware, and its AI substance is genuine. The editorial throughline is the no-subscription-core posture, a direct contrast to subscription-required rivals like Plaud.

Rokid Glasses

Rokid Glasses are lightweight (49g) AI and AR glasses with a dual-eye Micro-LED display, 12MP camera, and a voice AI assistant that routes to GPT and Gemini, plus fast real-time translation across 89 online and 6 offline languages. They are about $599 internationally (2,499 RMB in China); a non-display, audio-only AI Glasses Style also exists at $299. Rokid has delivered more than 200,000 display units (about 50,000 overseas), making it one of China's strongest verified-commercial AI wearables and the genuine-AI counterpart to Meta Ray-Ban's Western dominance.
