The hardware wave is picking up speed.
Genspark just launched its first hardware, SecondBrain Note, a card-sized thin recorder pairing 35hrs of audio capture with searchable meeting memory.
The 2.95mm, 26g aluminum card uses 4 microphones and 64GB storage for standalone capture.
It hears speakers upto 5m, then sends conversations into SecondBrain for transcription and summaries.
SecondBrain Note treats capture as the first step, then converts speech into reusable context & memory for later work. So past discussions will inform documents, tasks, and searches.
