Ex-Anker CMO's Memoket Launches 11g AI Wearable Recorder with Privacy-First Manual Trigger
Memoket releases the 11g Gem device, using the KITE engine to link real-world conversations to AI context while strictly requiring manual activation for privacy.
Memoket, a startup founded by former Anker Chief Marketing Officer Terrence Wang, has launched its first AI wearable device, the "Memoket Gem." Weighing approximately 11.3 grams, the device aims to serve as a "context layer" between the physical world and AI. It records meetings and daily conversations, utilizing its proprietary long-term memory engine, "KITE," to connect disparate dialogue fragments and provide background information to AI assistants like ChatGPT or Claude.
Unlike many traditional recording devices, Memoket explicitly chose not to develop an auto-start recording feature. CEO Terrence Wang stated that while technically feasible, the decision was made due to high sensitivity regarding data security and privacy among consumers in Europe, the US, and Japan. The company decided to leave the control of starting and stopping recordings entirely to the user. The device features a red LED light during recording to ensure those nearby are aware, balancing convenience with social etiquette.
The Memoket Gem supports multiple wearing options, including attaching directly to Apple Watch bands, addressing the issue of limited wrist space for users. Its core selling point is the "KITE" engine, which does not rely on traditional vector retrieval but instead organizes speech into facts and establishes links, significantly reducing token consumption when answering queries. The product is currently available in the Japanese market for ¥31,980 (tax included), offering 300 minutes of free monthly transcription.
