Microsoft - Project Solera

Check out behind the scenes, live from Microsoft!

Microsoft invited me to Redmond for an exclusive first look at Project Solera, a new initiative exploring what the next generation of AI-powered devices could look like.

In this video, I take you inside Microsoft's concept devices, including a wearable AI badge and a desktop AI companion designed to provide quick access to AI throughout the day. I'll show you the hardware, explain how the devices work, and share Microsoft's broader vision for AI agents and dedicated AI devices.

Rather than relying entirely on phones and computers, Microsoft believes AI may eventually be available through purpose-built devices that can help people capture information, access knowledge, and interact with AI more naturally throughout their day.
