AI-powered chatbots are becoming a part and parcel of our daily lives, making it difficult to predict the full extent of their future capabilities. Among the latest innovations embracing AI and its practical applications is Jethro V1, a device that aims to go beyond the traditional market offerings. The Jethro V1 is a wireless mouse recently launched on Kickstarter by Virtusx − a team of AI experts from Kansas City − that offers a range of dedicated features designed to boost productivity with a simple click.

Thanks to the integration of ChatGPT, the AI- and machine-learning-based chatbot developed by OpenAI, the Jethro V1 features an AI microchip and microphone capable of capturing speech, transcribe voice commands, and relay them to the chatbot for tasks such as text processing, creating PowerPoint presentations, translating text, summarizing documents, and much more – all without the need for subscriptions or accounts. Most importantly, it guarantees complete privacy, thanks to Virtusx's Virtusx Ultimate V-AI software powered by OpenAI’s GPT.
 

This innovative device is more than just a mouse; it's a smart desk assistant designed to enhance efficiency using cutting-edge technology. It features three pre-programmed buttons: an AI button to access AI chatbots and assistants, a Voice Button to enable voice typing, and a Smart Toolbar Button that offers instant translations in over 100 languages, along with rewriting and summarizing functions.

Jethro V1 is set for global release in December and is available for pre-order starting at $89.
