With ChatGPT integration on anything, anywhere, all at once, it's only a matter of time before an AI chatbot lands on smartwatches.
Smartwatch maker Amazfit posted a video of Amazfit GTR4 with the ChatGPT version listed as 'ChatGenius'. In a demo posted on LinkedIn, the device is asked "How can I improve my driving performance?" A few seconds later, it returns with an AI-generated buzz response so the user can move around with the crown.
Few details remain about the GTR4's ChatGPT features, but it can be claimed to be the first smartwatch with a built-in OpenAI chatbot. We doubt it will last long.
In fact, there is already a third-party ChatGPT app available for the Apple Watch called WatchGPT.
Do we need artificial intelligence in smartwatches?
With the release of the ChatGPT API, Open AI conversational intelligence has become a modern technology suitable for applications and devices everywhere.
Some, like Snapchat, seem to use it just for fun (users can send AI-generated haiku to each other), but others actually use it to improve their performance.
Although only a demo, this artificial intelligence app seems to be on the inspired end of the spectrum.
As is often the case with AI chatbots, the answers in the demo were pretty vague and made more sense like "focus on nutrition and hydration" rather than specific, actionable advice. Of course, this wouldn't bother someone like Siri who has access to the internet and can perform tasks like texting.
However, if AI responses could be customized for each user, based on metrics that most of the best smartwatches measure, and then translated into specific recommendations, it could be a game changer.
Ask your watch how to run a 10k and notice that the first 5k is quicker than the second and it tells you to pace yourself. It can also provide real-time feedback, prompting you to speed up or slow down to maintain a certain speed.
Voice feedback is clearly important Given the small screens of most smartwatches and the tendency for owners to use them while they're active, the last thing anyone needs to do is scroll through text while driving.
We don't know if everyone wants to chat on their wrist while trying to traverse the local park.
