# Tony Fadell Says AI Gadgets Failed. The Bigger Problem Is That They Were Looking for a User

Tony Fadell's critique of the Rabbit R1, Humane AI Pin and Limitless is particularly useful because he argues that the first generation didn't adequately solve a meaningful user problem.

That gives OSIRIS a different hardware thesis.

The first generation asked:
"What if we built a device specifically for AI?"

The next generation is asking:
"Where does AI already belong?"

That's a profound distinction.

AI embedded in:
glasses
phones
cars
homes
televisions
headphones
cameras
industrial equipment

may have a much better chance than another standalone AI gadget.

Newage insight:

AI hardware isn't dead. The standalone AI device is being replaced by AI embedded inside things people already need.
