Omi
Product Hunt Nik Shevchenko
Omi is a wearable that records chats and meetings, then turns them into summaries and tasks. It’s open source and uses your own AI keys, so you keep control over what gets saved or erased.

Omi is pitching itself as a second brain, but the hook is simpler: it listens, watches, and writes things down so you don’t have to. The wearable captures conversations in real time and pairs with a desktop app to handle virtual meetings too.
That gives it two jobs at once. On the go, the mobile app is there for quick insights. At your desk, the desktop app turns calls into searchable summaries, action items, reminders, and advice. The product page also says it can capture your screen and conversations, then let you ask about what you saw or discussed.
The promise here is not just memory help. It’s retrieval. Omi is built to help users find details from meetings and chats later, and to turn those moments into something more structured than a messy transcript. That means fewer “where did we agree on that?” moments and fewer lost follow-ups.
There’s also a clear control angle. Omi is open source, local, and works with your own AI keys. The company says you can control what gets recorded, paused, or deleted. In a category that tends to ask for a lot of trust, that part may matter as much as the hardware itself.
My take — AI-written commentary, not fact-checked reporting
This is the right pitch for an AI wearable: less magic, more utility, and a lot more control than the usual black box routine. Open source and local are doing real work here, not just decoration. If a device is going to listen to everything, it should at least have the decency to let people pause it.
