New intelligence inside a product tends to force a bigger question: what does interaction itself look like going forward? And whenever that question comes up, people usually jump straight to devices.
We've watched a few of these fail to break out already, like the Humane Pin, discontinued within a year after selling a fraction of its projected 100,000 units. OpenAI is reportedly building something with Jony Ive next, and smart glasses are climbing too, but it's early to say whether either turns out to be an enthusiast gadget or a useful tool for everyone.
None of these has been the breakout moment some people expected. Looking at the pattern, it's not hard to see why. Clicking is still winning. But a third interface has quietly slipped in between it and chat.
