Hi HN! We built Blue, a voice assistant that can use any app on your phone via a tiny USB-C hardware “hand” we call Bud. Here’s how we went from concept to 100 working units in 55 days for YC Demo Day.

About me: I’m a robotics and product design engineer focused on building thoughtful tools for the world. I hold dozens of patents in hardware and manufacturing, and I care deeply about how things are made and who they’re made for.

For over a decade, I’ve worked across robotics, wearables, and consumer electronics. As one of the first engineers on the Apple Vision Pro, I took it from concept to mass production.

Impressive. Hardware like this is only necessary on iOS because it doesn't have software accessibility features like Android, right?

Was thinking the same thing. This is a risky ecosystem play where the owners of said ecosystem can (and are motivated to) make you irrelevant.

It eventually needs to do something the phone software cant do itself. For example more powerful AI chip than the phone has.

Listen, man, this seems like absolute magic to me. Obviously you already knew your Taiwan team and I'm sure a hard part is getting a good hardware partner, but the execution on this seems nigh godlike to get such a high quality device in the hands of people that fast.

This is seriously impressive. You guys did more in 8 weeks than some teams will accomplish in a multiple of that.

Please stop multitasking while driving.

The tech seems neat and all but please stop multitasking while driving, encouraging others to multitask while driving, and building products specifically designed to encourage multitasking while driving.
