## Common questions

### What is Hey Pocket?

Hey Pocket, by Open Vision Engineering, Inc. (San Francisco, founded 2024; founders Akshay Narisetti, CEO, and Gabriel Dymowski, a former DoxyChain CEO; a Y Combinator W26 company with about $500,000 in seed funding from January 2026), is a screenless AI voice recorder and thought companion. The 52-gram device works as a standalone wearable and also MagSafe-attaches to the back of a phone, with dual studio microphones plus a contact microphone for phone calls and on-device storage, running cloud AI transcription in more than 120 languages with summaries, mind maps, action-item extraction, and an Ask-Pocket question-and-answer feature, with multi-model routing across GPT-5, Claude, and Gemini. It sells for $99 at launch against a $199 regular price, with a free core and no subscription required, and an optional Pocket Pro plan at $19.99 a month, a no-subscription-core positioning that is its differentiator against rivals. The registry's verdict resolves the dispatch's question: Hey Pocket is a real, shipping product, not vaporware, with live iOS and Android apps, recorded at commercial maturity. A lineage cross-link is worth noting: CEO Akshay Narisetti previously built Omi, the open-source AI note-taker already in the registry, before founding Pocket, though the two are separate companies and products. The AI is genuine cloud functionality rather than veneer, while exact unit sales, the world's-first superlative, and real-world speaker-separation accuracy are not independently verified.
