NexMe
Read full descriptionHide full description
NexMe puts AI avatars and smart hardware (AI recording cards and smart rings) in the same chat: meeting transcripts, to-do reminders, and health trends—ask about them and see them right there. AI Avatars Create personal AI avatars (Daily / Health / Work). Chat by text or voice; choose a voice or record your own. Shape them through conversation, material forging, or by editing personality so they feel more like you. Avatar plaza offers official assistants, health analysis, and other roles. Content is generated by generative AI and may be inaccurate—please verify it yourself. Avatars cannot replace a recording card or a ring. Smart Hardware · AI Recording Card After connecting a compatible recording card (REC-NOTE, ClawPin, or power-bank form factor A03), you can record, sync, transcribe, summarize, generate mind maps, and organize to-dos. You can also start group collaboration and schedule pushes of meeting notes and to-dos. Without hardware, you can try recording and reminders on your phone. Full meeting recording, transcription, and file sync require a compatible recording card or the phone experience; the app cannot provide equivalent hardware capabilities when no device is connected. Smart Hardware · Smart Ring After connecting a compatible smart ring, you can view lifestyle data such as sleep, heart rate, blood oxygen, stress, and steps; share with friends; or set a daily briefing. Health analysis provides trend insights by time period. Health data and analysis require a compatible smart ring. This app cannot measure blood pressure, blood oxygen, or similar metrics using phone sensors alone. Smart Reminders & Group Chat Use natural language to schedule daily to-do or health-data pushes. In a group, @ mention the device or avatar before asking a question. Compatibility • AI avatars: available once this app is installed • Recording and transcription: require a compatible recording card, or use the phone experience • Health data: require a compatible smart ring Only one physical hardware device can be connected at a time. Some features (such as avatar forging) may require a membership. Disclaimer: NexMe connects to compatible consumer smart rings (e.g. model CR10) for general wellness and lifestyle insights such as activity and biometric trends. The connected hardware is a consumer electronic device (FCC ID: 2BPUV-CR10; CE RED compliant). It is NOT a medical device and is NOT intended to diagnose, treat, cure, or prevent any disease. Always consult a qualified healthcare professional before making any medical or health-related decisions. Do not rely on this app as a substitute for professional medical advice. Please read the Privacy Policy first. Do not record without consent. Do not use someone else’s voice to impersonate them.
