1. 

   Vera Bullock · Co-AnchorAmazon launched two new AI devices this afternoon: a silicone wristband that clips to your clothes, and a disc that sticks magnetically to the back of your phone.

   Vera Bullock · Co-AnchorThis morning four companies told Fortune how they're rebuilding work around AI, and now there's a gadget that sits in the meeting for you.

   Vera Bullock · Co-AnchorWith us is Maxwell Tarrant, managing partner at Tarrant Obvious Strategy Group. Maxwell, should people wear a listening wristband to work?

   Maxwell TarrantPut differently, should a person wear a listening wristband to work? That is the right question, and my firm bills four thousand dollars an hour to ask it.

6. 

   Vera Bullock · Co-AnchorThat was my question. You said it back to me.

7. MT

   Maxwell TarrantPut differently, I said it back to you. And that, Vera, is called alignment. Clients pay a lot for alignment.

8. 

   Vera Bullock · Co-AnchorSo what would you tell a company that wants everyone clipped with one of these?

9. MT

   Maxwell TarrantPut differently, what would I tell a company that wants everyone clipped? I would tell them to think about clips. Carefully. Over several quarters.

    Maxwell TarrantAnd I just rang up eleven minutes of it. Do you take notes on your meetings, Vera? Because this thing does it for you.

12. 

    Vera Bullock · Co-AnchorI do, Maxwell. And what do you use? Be honest, do you wear one of these yourself?

13. MT

    Maxwell TarrantPut differently, do I wear one myself? I use a napkin. A good napkin, from a very nice diner. Please don't tell my clients.

14. 

    Vera Bullock · Co-AnchorSo a silicone wristband does your whole job and it doesn't send an invoice. What do you charge it?

15. MT

    Maxwell TarrantNothing, Vera. It works for free. That's the part that scares me.
