Your Finger's New AI Sidekick: The Stream Ring

A group of former Meta engineers have embarked on a new venture, launching a company called Sandbar. Their inaugural product is a smart ring with AI, named the Stream Ring.

How It Works

• Capture Ideas Instantly: Press the ring's button, whisper your thought, and it gets sent to your phone. The app transcribes and organizes it.
• Inner Voice Chatbot: The ring features a chatbot that learns your voice to interact with you. It's a unique and intriguing feature.
• Music Control: Use touch gestures and vibrations to control your music seamlessly.

Pre-Orders and Pricing

• Pre-orders are live, starting at $249.
• Shipping is planned for summer 2026.
• Basic features are free, with a $10/month Pro plan for advanced functionalities.
• Pre-orders come with three free months of Pro.

Why It Stands Out

• Discreet and Privacy-Focused: Unlike AI glasses or bulky watches, this ring is subtle and only records when you press the button.
• Ideal for Creatives: Perfect for writers, artists, or anyone who wants to capture fleeting thoughts quickly.
• AI Assistant: Helps turn random thoughts into organized notes or to-do lists.

Competition and Vision

• Competitors: Meta has Ray-Ban glasses, and Apple might soon release an AI device.
• Sandbar's Edge: Priced like a high-end accessory, not just tech. They believe the future of AI is about subtlety, availability, and quiet interaction.
