Poem/1, the AI Clock

E-paper clock with a new poem every minute.

Tell the time with a new poem every minute, composed by ChatGPT and direct to your bookshelves.

Featured in The Verge, the New York Times, NDTV, and Private Eye.


From prototype to production

Since the original viral tweet and press, I took the AI clock to Kickstarter, ran a successful campaign, and pre-sold 800 units. I am manufacturing a larger batch to allow for direct sales.

The project had further press in Fast Company, Forbes, Ars Technica, Kickstarter Invent, and TLDR AI.

As of late 2024, the clock is working its way towards mass production in China.

I am collaborating with Approach Studio on industrial design, Tom Armitage on firmware, and a contract manufacturer in Taiwan.
