Conversation with Chandler Murch (Co-Founder at TalkGo) and @ianutile
summary
A hardware product called Talk Socket embeds Alexa into a PopSockets-style grip and pairs to phones over Bluetooth to wake locally and forward requests to the Alexa app; a live demo shows the wake word works but a Wi‑Fi connection stops full responses. Claims include 220 million pop grips sold, partnerships with PopSockets, Otterbox and Amazon, an Indiegogo pre‑order at $80 vs $129 retail, a StartEngine raise capped at $1.07M and a $7.5M valuation, and active hiring for acoustics/embedded engineers.
