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 touch enabled. It has a huge 27" full 1080p display with 5-point multi-touch across the whole screen. You can control any app with your voice by talking to Albert, our AI assistant that lives inside Duo. You can personalize Albert from its name, gender, accent, and even sarcasm level.
Duo runs HomeOS, our own operating system, and will ship with a handful of really useful native apps like Music, Weather, and Gallery.
If you’re a developer, you can apply for a Development Kit here (https://duo.computer/devkit/) to receive a pre-production unit in July!

@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.

@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.
