Carl Pei\u0026#39;s post described a design premise rather than a product: AI should reach the user\u0026#39;s situation without the user first typing context into a chat field. He named the friction of explaining conversational background as the problem, and pointed to email and calendar connections as part of the answer.\u003c/p\u003e\u003cp\u003ePei also set expectations against the wider rush toward AI wearables.
