On March 1st, engineer Zakwan Ahmad launched his concept for "The One Smart AI Pen" on Kickstarter, debuting a device that looks on a surface level like a standard ballpoint pen but actually packs a battery, microphone, and Bluetooth radio for integration with HearIt.AI mobile control and ChatGPT. Among the smart pen's many functionalities include audio recording for translation in 52+ languages, voice dictation, setting reminders, and ChatGPT-4.0-Mini conversing. A "Writing Mode" also exists to convert handwriting into digital text, which could be useful for those who want to increase their writing time away from screens.
After an hour of charging The One Smart AI Pen, it will be ready for use at up to 10 meters from a connected smartphone for up to 30 hours, thanks to steel and plastic construction and Bluetooth 5.2 support. A MicroSD card slot is also built into the middle of the device for the purpose of storing extended meeting and lecture recordings.
