The Next Interface Hackathon: Rethink how we talk to AI
For three years, using AI meant typing into a box and waiting for text to come back.
That era is ending.
The next interface isn't a chat window. It's worn, spoken, and always on.
Glasses that listen.
A pendant that remembers.
A tracker you never charge.
A second self that watches your screen and acts before you ask.
We're putting the founders building that future in one room with the people who want to build on it.
Half a day in San Francisco.
Real hardware on the table. Working demos, not slideware.
The lineup is a short list of founders shipping the wearables that are pulling AI off the screen.
The founders in the room:
Adam Cohen Hillel, Secondly - a personal AI "second self" that sees your screen and acts across every app you use. The chat box becomes a presence.
Nik Shevchenko, Omi - the open-source AI wearable necklace, with 250+ developer apps already built on it. Always listening, always yours.
AnhPhu Nguyen, Mira - AI smart glasses with no camera. They hear what you hear, recall every name, and translate 60+ languages in under a second. AnhPhu is the Harvard builder behind last year's viral I-XRAY demo.
Andy Kong, Chargerless - a 7-gram health tracker powered by daylight. One minute of sun a day and it never needs a charger.
What you'll build: pick a device, an API, or a live sensor stream.
Ship something a person could actually wear or talk to by the time we demo.
The strongest builds demo to the founders in the room.
This is for builders, hardware hackers, AI engineers, and designers who think the keyboard is a temporary technology.
