Core question
“What if you never had to choose between being present and remembering?”
Overview
Hum Industries builds a wearable social-memory assistant on one thesis: the brain was built to create, not to store. A rolling 60-second buffer, on-device recall, and a behind-the-ear river-stone form factor surface names, stories, and commitments through quiet inner-voice cues — so attention stays in the room.
The problem
Staying present and remembering details compete for the same attention. People either disappear into note-taking or lose the thread entirely.
The insight
Memory is the tax on presence. Outsource the storage and presence comes back for free.
