Synchron adds an OpenAI-powered chat feature that suggests replies users select by thought
Synchron announced a chat feature built on OpenAI's generative AI integrated into its Stentrode brain-computer interface. The system generates reply suggestions based on context, including the user's mood state, which paralyzed users select by thought, speeding up texting toward more conversational speeds. Synchron clarified that users' brain data is not shared with OpenAI.
- Feature generates automated prompts for texting and chatting categorized by contextual inputs, including detected user emotion, without voice or eye control.
- Enables faster communication by reducing selection burden; users with severe paralysis can reach near-conversational speeds by selecting AI-suggested replies via thought.
- Privacy safeguard: brain data not shared with OpenAI; companies not in exclusive partnership.
