Pretty cool concept of using a mirror as a central home computer. Could see a lot of potential with different apps being made for it.

@_jacksmith Thanks Jack, we're really looking forward to pushing the possibilities and boundaries of Duo!

Hi Product Hunt! Great to be here. First things first - Duo is NOT a smart mirror! Rather, it’s a computer with a reflective display. We decided it's the best form factor to blend such a big computer into a home, becoming noticeable only when you need it (who wants to have a massive black screen hanging on their wall?) Duo is voice-activated and fully touc… See more

@jack7kim Looks pretty interesting -- thanks for sharing! - anything special about the mirror surface? My family would have to hire a full-time Duo caretaker to keep the surface of a touchscreen mirror clean. - What home automation integration (smartthings, homekit, ?) is/will be available w/ HomeOS?

@jack7kim why do none of your claimed investors list you on crunchbase? At first I thought this may have been a scam, but I know producthunt does their homework so this has to be legit. Love the product concept! Never cared for Alexa, Home or Siri. This is a game changer.

@epic__miller Hey Eric, we're going through betaworks' voicecamp program, which co-invests with Lightspeed, Launch Capital, etc. It's a small enough of an investment, so I could see them not listing in on their crunchbase. We'll actually clear this up on our About page.

Patrick Montague@pmontee · vp, betaworks
@jack7kim @epic__miller I can confirm exactly what Jack outlines here. I'd also add that funding announcements (and crunchbase profiles) usually take place a few weeks or even months after the financing has been completed.

Cool concept! How can you extend the Duo experience to the whole house without adding more displays around the house?
2·
Jack Kim@jack7kim · Founder @ Duo AI
@kunalslab Yes, HomeOS is built to run on any device with a screen, microphone, and speakers, so you can easily extend it across different devices throughout the house. We're also adding native Alexa integration into Duo, so you can easily plug it into your already existing ecosystem.

Kunal Bhatia@kunalslab · Co-founder & Design Lead @SlidesUp
@jack7kim ahh. I see that in your FAQ now. Perhaps surfacing this information on the landing page might help convince devs to join you to build for the platform?

Jack Kim@jack7kim · Founder @ Duo AI
@kunalslab Do you mean surfacing the Alexa integration or flexibility of HomeOS?
Upvote·
Kunal Bhatia@kunalslab · Co-founder & Design Lead @SlidesUp
@jack7kim I suppose both. HomeOS is quite far down the page and your explanation here was better. Alexa and other upcoming integrations could get a brief plug.

Jack Kim@jack7kim · Founder @ Duo AI
@kunalslab Got it, I agree. Thanks for the feedback, we'll try to implement it into the site + marketing. 🙏

@jack7kim @kunalslab so we could already test HomeOS with any smartphone/tablet/PC?

I'm keen to grab a Dev kit for this but it does seem too good to be true - lots of tech packed in there for not a lot of money, lots of software too! Seems like a large shipment for a new company. Nonetheless, if everything is as it seems, I hope to have several of these in my home!

@nilefrater Same boat - a little hesitant. The demo video is gorgeous and very well done, almost too well done 😬

Jack Kim@jack7kim · Founder @ Duo AI
@nilefrater Hey Nile, we're offering an especially low price to try to get Duo into as many homes as possible first. While hardware is super important, we're almost putting more emphasis on our software and homeOS platform (which can run on other devices).

David Allison@davidsthinking · Founder at SignUpFirst
@jack7kim I think this is a smart idea actually. Once friends see this in action in your living room they will want to know what it is, and I hope... where to buy one. Seeing it in use should sell itself. I love how it's rapport seems very natural.

I've seen a lot of AI products but this seems to come closer to easy human rapport than most, looking forward to seeing how the personalities develop!

Oh wow, this looks incredible. I love the UI concepts. Really impressed with how far along the tech demo seems too

Awesome to see it close to production! First thing I plan to do with one is to build in my IoT curtains and coffee machine heh

@daniel_sykes_turner Can't wait to see the exciting things people will do with Duo, thanks Daniel!

Does Duo (or homeOS) send my information up to a central computer for processing (e.g. Alexa) or does my information stay local on my network?

Jack Kim@jack7kim · Founder @ Duo AI
@calevans Hi Cal, most of the speech processing is handled on a server for maximum speed/accuracy/consistency.

@jack7kim That was what I was afraid of. Thanks for clearing that up.

I'm a little concerned about security because you say it's your own OS. Especially given the recent Tizen security holes.

Would it support android or ios in any way?

This is really cool man! Just wondering how difficult or easy it would be to read fonts or watch movies without any obstruction from the reflection off the mirror in bright light. May be will know only after trying it out 😄 Amazing concept 👍🏻 Loved the personality packs ideas 😉

Micka Touillaud@mickatouillaud · Interaction Designer at Sevenhugs
Look like a promising product! A bit concerned about few things: -First it's a giant iPad without any usability other than voice. Any keyboard in here? -A reflective surface, means that you will only see your face with a lot of finger marks. -What's the value of displaying content in an additional home screen? Can't you do it with your Smart TV + Voice? -… See more

At first I thought this was another version of Google Duo. But it's way better.

@jack7kim - This is cool, the dev options caught my attention immediately. We have a cool use case for some of our clients in Nashville, I just completed the Duo developer application. Would love to connect once you take a look at it. Exciting product...the fact we could develop for such a gorgeous UI without some special OS is extremely appealing. Looking f… See more
