Exclusive: Neurable's First Brain-Scanning Headphones Want to Fine-Tune Your Focus

WIRED

The company claims that its new device, the Neurable One, can keep you in the zone, calculate the best time to take a break, and tell you when your "brain battery" needs a recharge. Neurable unveiled its very own pair of brain-scanning headphones on Thursday, the Neurable One . The company claims that wearing them helps you concentrate on whatever you're doing--working, studying, or playing a video game. When I spoke to Neurable earlier this year, the company said it planned to license its brain-scanning technology to power a flood of gadgets that were ready to enter the market. But it decided to launch its own hardware first.


OpenAI's Dots Are Always-On AI Agents--and Its Answer to Meta's Muse

WIRED

These cute agents are designed to connect to your apps and tackle multistep tasks. Dots are OpenAI's new always-on AI agents, announced at the company's DevDay 2026 event on Tuesday in San Francisco. These agents complete tasks on a user's behalf and are depicted as cute blobs you can personalize and assign multi-step projects to complete. A core selling point is their "always-on" design--unlike a single-turn chatbot experience, these agents constantly crawl the web and attempt to complete whatever task you assign to them. Dots also pull context from connected apps and learn more about your preferences over time.

Jesse Lyu doesn't think the Rabbit R1 was a flop. Lyu's gadget was among the first in the gold rush to create dedicated AI hardware that acted as a virtual assistant. You could speak into the R1 and ask it to complete tasks for you--book an Uber; order food on DoorDash. After a buzzy launch at CES 2024, it earned scathing reviews.

WIRED

Viture's first display-free smart glasses have bone-conduction microphones to privately record your daily musings. David Jiang, cofounder and CEO of smart glasses company Viture, tells me about how he used to yell at his kid. His 10-year-old son played tennis. During tournaments, Jiang says he had a habit of shouting and criticizing his son's mistakes as he played. He wanted to apply pressure to make him succeed--it was the way he'd been taught to raise kids, after all.
