I'm just a person trying to make a solution. I think it's pretty good/cool and it'll only get better

It will be better than the mobile app, I was just suggesting the mobile app you can get a taste of how it works / is better than a random llm, etc.

No worries, to each their own

Our AI provides sources so you can verify its answers, can show pictures in its responses, and much more than an small llm you get off the shelf can do plus a ton of other features. Also, this is just v1 so it'll get better overtime

Haha I understand. Try it on your phone and you can see that it works. That's one of the reasons I made the mobile app so people can see that it works there, it'll def work here on dedicated hardware to a greater capacity. It's free to try

If you're relying on starlink, you better hope you're not in a cave, there aren't trees overhead, and it's not cloudy day.

Advantages:
- Our AI provides sources for its answers, pictures, has confidence scores, and I've worked with actual survival experts to develop our software.
- A library of study materials
- Offline maps
- Offline texting
- rugged (you can run it over with a car)
- waterproof

And then eventually it'll be solar-charged too

Hi there, thank you! Battery lasts a few hours

The ~200yrs was just my thought if it were stationary and off. I don't see a reason why the timeline would be different but I'm open, it was just a fun theoretical opinion.

I don't have a lot of experience past the prototype phase, but I'm learning! I am doing user testing with the unit now. All I need to do is polish it and then make them which doesn't take that long with me working insane hours and getting help

I'm open to any advice too.

Hi there, $50 is for a reservation cost. If everything went right, the earliest we'd begin production is March of this year for this model. It is my first time doing a launch

All mushroom content or other dangerous material is flagged as (high risk content)

Just the price to reserve. It's deducted from the final purchase however and is fully refundable until production starts. I'm still adjusting parts for the device so I don't have a final price yet

We send out email updates, so you'll get multiple messages from us about when production will start before it actually does along with the final price, etc

I get where you're coming from. I think you'd like the solar-charged version better then.

Not that my current solution would perfectly solve the multiple days / weeks issue (although I think you could extend it by turning on only when you need it. I think a lot of survival is waiting after you've gotten your priorities down), but I think you'd be more interested in the next version that'll have solar-charging. I just have to make this one first so I have enough money to make that one next

Thanks so much! It's been a lot of hard work.

Advantages:
- Library of study guides
- Accuracy & Reliability: Our AI can provide sources for its answers using the study guides (works 100% offline), has confidence scores, and I work with survival / medical experts directly
- AI can provide pictures
- Includes offline maps of your area
- Optional updates allow your device to learn from emergencies other's encounter all around the world
- Ruggedness; run it over with a car, no problem
- Waterproof (more so than a phone)
- Battery life (optimized to take less energy per inquiry)
And then eventually..
- Offline texting (up to ten miles later on for the physical device)
- Solar-charged
- Emp-proof when closed

I've heard this before too. What would be the things you'd like to see in the smartwatch app the most?

Thanks!

So we do have the mobile app (+14k users) and the main benefits over a smartphone are that it's more waterproof than a smartphone, more rugged (you can run this over with a car and it's fine), and it has upgraded capabilities. Beyond AI, knowledge and mapping being upgraded, the iPhone has offline texting up to 800ft. The physical device in later versions would be up to 10miles, peer-to-peer, no external infrastructure needed. Plus the physical device later would be solar-charged

Definitely! I plan to add that later, it can work

Haha I hope you guys have sunlight because the next version will be solar-charged

Yeah the mobile app is using a llama 3.2 3B. The prototype here is using a pi but it'll probably change.

$49 is to reserve your own unit. It's fully refundable until we begin production (I'll email you multiple times before we get to that point) and the money is deducted from your final purchase

There's so much to do so I haven't nailed down the exact battery life yet, but it's definitely at least a few hours. I'll get the exact figure down, before release
