Humane, which makes the not-so-good AI Pin, wants other companies to build AI gadgets and gadgets that use its CosmoS operating system, and it has done so. released a video That seems to show that the company already has it working on a car, TV, smart speaker and phone.
But note that the video, according to Humane’s fine print, is for “illustrative purposes only”: it shows “working prototypes” and some “simulated experiences,” and the lyrics say that all “designs, features and specifications” are subject to to to change. So don’t take it entirely literally.
In one example, the video shows a person talking to CosmoS in their car (with a blurry logo on the steering wheel) to turn up the heat in their house and find out what time people are coming. They ask their (fuzzy) smart speaker about a guacamole recipe and their TV how many goals a soccer player on screen has scored. The video also shows CosmoS reading an email on the person’s phone and responding to a question about whether they can attend a meeting.
If you’ve been following the recent rumors around AI, especially around agents, none of these examples should seem particularly novel: Humane wants to demonstrate that CosmoOS is capable of powerful agent-like capabilities, and that companies are using it. Consider them as a possible backbone of your devices. But the items in this video are not Humane’s own products, and Humane clearly does not promise to make them. You are creating an SDK so others can do it.
That CosmoOS SDK is not yet publicly available: the company website it just says “coming soon,” although you can click a button to “register to build with us,” which will take you to a form to fill out. Humane doesn’t mention any partners creating devices that rely on CosmoS — the blurry logos on the car and smart speaker suggest the company may not have gone that far yet. We’ve asked Humane if he can share any examples.
