We’re honored to share that Subtle Voicebuds were named Engadget’s Best AI Hardware at CES 2026. 🏆 We decided to launch Voicebuds at CES to embrace the chaos. Having people demo Voicebuds at a show filled with whirring electronics, blasting music, and 100,000+ attendees was the perfect way to showcase a voice computing experience that finally works in the real world. Seeing our technology recognized alongside some of the most innovative products and companies in the world is incredibly meaningful for our team. Thank you to the Engadget editors for the recognition and to everyone who stopped by our booth in Las Vegas! Read the full Best of CES roundup here 👇 https://lnkd.in/dWMwrCiJ

The future of computing won’t be typed or tapped. It will be spoken. But voice still fails in the places that matter most — in noise, motion, and quiet shared spaces. That’s why we’re building Subtle Computing. A new generation of subtle voice interfaces that work anywhere you do. Today, we’re excited to announce our $6M seed round - thankful to be supported by incredible investors including Entrada, Amplify Partners, Abstract, and founders of Twitter, Pinterest, and Perplexity. Our first product arrives early 2026. ↓ Join the waitlist ↓ TechCrunch feature
