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.

AirGo Vision

The Solos AirGo Vision is an audio-first AI smart-glasses line with a camera, built on the AirGo platform. Its SmartHinge system swaps camera and non-camera frame fronts and arms via USB-C. SolosChat is powered by GPT-4o, cloud-routed through Solos servers ('ask about what you see'). Pricing is $299 standard and $349 for the bundle, with a $149 camera front-plate. It is genuine cloud AI, though reviews note mediocre open-ear speakers and camera quality. Successors include the AirGo A5 (audio) and AirGo V2 (16MP, January 2026).
