    Wait, There’s A Robot Dog That You Can Teach New Tricks?! 🤖

    Yep. Physically guide Quaddle through a motion, and it remembers what you taught it and can replay it. No coding required.

    But teaching it tricks is just the beginning.

    Quaddle can walk, flip, skate, crab-walk, and even right itself if it falls over. And apparently regular floors weren’t enough. It can walk upside down on a magnetic ceiling using magnets in its feet.

    Four legs are just the starting point.

    With accessories, Quaddle can transform into a biped, a tricycle, or even a four-wheeled car.

    It can copy your movements.

    Using a webcam, Quaddle can track your pose and mirror your movements in real time. Raise an arm, shift your body, or strike a pose, and Quaddle follows along.

    You can make your own accessories, too.

    Quaddle is designed for tinkering. You can 3D-print shells, mounts, and accessories, and it even has LEGO-compatible mounting points for adding your own creations.

    Quaddle is built for learning robotics and coding.

    Beginners can start with block-based programming, then move into Python and C++ as they learn more. Underneath it all is Petoi’s open-source OpenCat platform, so there’s plenty of room to experiment.

    So, when can you get one?

    Quaddle is currently live on Kickstarter, with Petoi targeting early December 2026 for delivery.

    Tiny robot dog. Big overachiever.

  • Wait… Wearable AI That Remembers Your Conversations?! 🧠

    Wait… Wearable AI That Remembers Your Conversations?! 🧠

    Because apparently remembering what you said five minutes ago is now a wearable technology problem.

    Meet Fieldy 3, a tiny AI notetaker you can wear around your neck or on your wrist. Start a recording, have your conversation, and Fieldy turns it into transcripts, summaries, reminders, and action items.

    In other words, someone finally invented a wearable for people whose brains have 47 tabs open.

    Okay, But Why Would You Wear Your Notes?

    Taking notes can pull you out of the conversation, and relying on yourself to remember everything later is a gamble most of us have already lost.

    Fieldy can transcribe conversations, create summaries, pull out action items, and turn things you said into reminders. It supports more than 100 languages, and you can wear it as a pendant or on your wrist.

    Basically, it’s the memory upgrade your brain forgot to install.

    Who Is This Actually For?

    Writers, students, journalists, professionals, chronic note-takers, and anyone whose brain routinely says, “Don’t worry, I’ll remember that.” It’s especially appealing if you’d rather pay attention to the person in front of you than divide your attention between the conversation and taking notes.

    So… Is It Listening All the Time?

    No. You start a recording when you want Fieldy to capture something, rather than having it continuously record everything around you. The original audio is deleted after transcription, while the resulting text is retained.

    Why It Made Us Say Wait… What?!

    We’ve seen AI notetakers before. We’ve seen wearable tech before. Putting the AI notetaker around your neck like a pendant is where Fieldy earns its “Wait… they make that?!”

    It’s weirdly futuristic, genuinely useful, and just unusual enough that someone is definitely going to ask, “What is that thing you’re wearing?”

    Want One to Remember for You?

    Fieldy 3 is available directly from Fieldy. We just think wearable AI that turns conversations into organized notes qualifies as something you should know exists.
