先造一个入口，再把 AI 慢慢塞进去。
这周苹果发了新一代 HomePod mini，149 美元，10 月 30 日开卖，真正的新 Siri 要等之后的软件更新才到。科技巨头正抢着在假日季前，把 AI 小设备摆上货架。
大公司的打法很统一，先造一个入口，再把 AI 慢慢塞进去。但这周名单里的产品，走的是另一条路。NOPIA 把乐理做了只有一个八度的键盘，按一个键出一整个和弦。InstaSpot 把超声波清洗机缩成一支 65 克的笔。Nothing 在耳机上加了一个物理开关，可以一键切换道监听调音模式。这些原本属于专业设备的能力，正在被一件件压进可以随手带的小东西里。
而且它们做的方向越来越窄，这样意味着不用跟大厂比算力，只要把一个小痛点解得足够深。众筹页上的数字也说明有人买单，NOPIA 的目标是 5 万美元，最后筹到 161.9 万。不过用户得足够认这个痛点，才肯为一件只做一件事的东西付 650 美元。在众筹之后更考验小公司的是交付能力，NOPIA 要等到 2027 年初才发货。把能力下放到口袋里不难，难的是让它在口袋里待得住。
以下，是「造物 100」栏目第 9 期推荐的最新造物。
降噪耳机 Nothing Headphone (1) Pro：每边三个单元，价格涨了 100 美元
Nothing 9 月 28 日发布了头戴降噪耳机 Headphone (1) Pro，399 美元，比一代贵了整整 100 美元，9 月 29 日起在官网、亚马逊和 Best Buy 开卖。Nothing 在告诉音乐人，这副耳机也可以拿来干活，不只是拿来好看。
这 100 美元花在哪了？最直观的是发声单元，每边从一个 40 毫米动圈，变成了三个：一个管低音的动圈，一个管中频的动圈，再加一个 xMEMS 高音单元，等于每边请了三个人分工。降噪麦克风从六颗加到十颗，官方称平均降噪量强了 5 分贝，覆盖的频段宽了 40%。电池 1060mAh，官方称开降噪能用 30 小时，关降噪 68 小时，充 5 分钟能听 2 到 4 小时。另外支持 LDAC 和 Hi-Res，蓝牙 6.1，带 Auracast。
外观还是那个透明的路子，但材料升级了。铝合金框架配钛合金头梁，透明耳罩换成了 9H 的熊猫玻璃，9H 说的是耐刮硬度，对一副要天天丢进包里的耳机来说，这个升级很实在。
软件和调音是和伦敦的 Metropolis Studios 一起做的。左耳罩上有一个 Flat EQ 的物理开关，一拨就切到不加修饰的平直调音，想听原汁原味的时候不用打开 App。另外有五种动态空间音频，支持头部追踪。官方直接点名对标 Bose QuietComfort Headphones 二代和 Sennheiser MOMENTUM 5，等于一上来就找两位老大哥过招。
不过续航退步了。官方的 68 小时对不上一代的 80 小时，但要注意一代的数字是 SoundGuys 实测，Pro 的是官方标称，两边口径不一样。399 美元已经站到了 Bose 和 Sennheiser 的门口，Nothing 的品牌力够不够，或许得等评测出来才知道。
奥特曼 AI 互动对话器「光之召唤」：计时器挂在身上，还能打电话、组队
「光之召唤」是 AI 玩具公司 Haivivi（跃然创新）的第三代 AI 互动对话器，造型取自奥特曼经典的彩色计时器，有能量光效、实体按键和一根安全挂绳。孩子可以和奥特曼角色聊天，也能进入由自己选择走向的互动剧情，还支持蜂窝通话、好友组队，以及 4G 或 WiFi 下的远距离对讲。官方零售价 599 元，10 月 15 日开售，首批购买赠送流量卡和迪迦主题的 NFC 币。
前两代的玩法是陪聊，这一代多了通话和组队，从一个对着孩子说话的玩具，变成了一个孩子之间互相联系的道具。官方称它基于自家的 H6Infra 云端设备架构和 H6Loop 引擎，新功能可以在测试后继续推送，不用等到下一代硬件。
更有意思的是它的形态选择。毛绒玩具的陪伴有天花板，孩子长大就不抱了，一个能打电话、能组队的变身器，则更接近一个孩子愿意带去学校的东西，这是 AI 玩具往大龄儿童走的一步。
不过电池、重量、芯片这些规格目前都没公布。IP 授权方面，现有报道只说是奥特曼主题产品，没写联名细节。蜂窝通话又牵涉到儿童的位置和通话数据怎么存等家长更关心的问题。
半模块化和声生成器 NOPIA MK1：按一个键，弹出一整个和弦
NOPIA MK1 是一台 41.5×23×3.5 厘米的木头合成器，只有一个八度的琴键，但按一个键，弹出来的是整个和弦。
键盘左边有 12 个键的调性选择器和大小调开关，先告诉它你在哪个调，剩下的它来搭。Real 模式按你弹的那个音搭和弦，Static 模式让每个键对应音阶里的一个级数，所以同一套指法换到任何调都能用。
想让和弦更复杂，一个旋钮加九度和十一度，Shift 键加挂留和六和弦，触控板负责拨弦和弯音。机内有 Keys、Bass、Arp、Pad 四个声部，每个声部各有一路 MIDI 输出，USB-C 供电并传输 MIDI。Kickstarter 9 月 15 日开跑，超级早鸟起价 650 美元，标准档 699 美元，预计 2027 年初发货。
做它的是阿根廷的 Martin Grieco 和 Rocío Gal，两位音乐人兼设计师带着一个小团队。原型最早是为现场演出做的 Ableton 效果机架，后来成了乐器设计比赛的暑期项目。2023 年的演示视频发出后，一天 2 万播放，三天破百万，然后整整等了三年，它才终于能下单。这次众筹目标 5 万美元，上线约 24 小时就破了 140 万，10 月 15 日收官，约 161.9 万美元，2473 人支持，超募 32 倍。
学和弦，通常得先过乐理这一关：几级和弦、怎么转位、怎么加延伸音，像背乘法表，背完才敢开口。MK1 把这些规则直接做进了硬件里，不懂乐理的人也能弹出像样的和声，懂的人则省掉了翻和弦表的时间。
更有意思的是它的名字。NOPIA 来自朋友的一句玩笑「这不是钢琴」，在阿根廷俚语里，又恰好是把 piano 的音节倒过来念。机身上没有任何文字标签，只有一块小屏幕告诉你，你刚刚弹了个什么和弦。
不过一段视频红了三年才变成能下单的产品，发货又得等到 2027 年初，小团队的交付能力还没经过检验。650 到 699 美元买一台只管和弦的乐器，这样的人有多少，或许得等首批用户的反馈。
超声波去污笔 InstaSpot：口袋里的 52kHz，专治衣服上的汤汁
InstaSpot 是一支口袋大小的超声波去污笔，约 5.9 英寸长，重约 65 克，前端是一片圆头不锈钢刀片，外壳防水。使用时先往污渍上喷一点肥皂水，按下开关，把刀片在污渍上来回移动。刀片以每秒 52000 次的频率振动，水中产生微小气泡，靠气泡破裂时的冲击把污渍从纤维里震出来。内置 1200mAh 锂电池，USB-C 充电，充满约 30 分钟，宣称不含刺激性化学成分，也能带上飞机。
做它的是旧金山的 FireArt。Kickstarter 9 月 15 日开跑，10 月 15 日收官，筹到约 74.1 万美元，7035 人支持，目标只有 3000 美元，超募近 250 倍，每位支持者平均出资约 105 美元。
出门在外，汤汁、咖啡、口红蹭到衣服上，常常只能先拿纸巾擦，越擦越大，洗衣机又要等回家。InstaSpot 想把一台超声波清洗机缩成一支笔，让你当场处理。
更有意思的是它没发明新原理，超声波清洗是个成熟的工业手段，InstaSpot 做的只是缩小体积、做成能随身带的形态。要拿「世界首款」说事要小心，项目页写的是「首款口袋大小」，市面上已有 Electrolux 之类的超声波去污笔在卖。
不过项目页写的「适用任何面料、新旧污渍都能去」是自述，目前没找到独立评测。没有水和洗涤剂的配合，超声波本身去不掉污渍，所以它更像是一个让你少洗一次的帮手，还不是万能去污器。
围绝经期可穿戴 Peri：贴在胸下，专门盯潮热和盗汗
Peri 是一个专门为围绝经期设计的可穿戴传感器，又小又轻，戴在胸下。公司称这个位置比手腕或戒指更能准确抓到潮热、盗汗这类血管舒缩症状。传感器持续采集生理数据，配套 App 把症状和睡眠、情绪、活动量放在一起，按周、月和月经周期给出规律。售价 449 美元，不收订阅费，可以用 FSA 或 HSA 账户支付，2026 年 4 月 7 日开售。
做它的 IdentifyHer 2021 年成立，创始人是 Heidi Davis 和 Donal O'Gorman，产品 2025 年 11 月官宣，拿过 2025 年 CES 创新奖的数字健康奖项。公司称它的 AI 平台做了五年，只用围绝经期女性的连续数据训练，目标是建立首个大规模围绝经期数据集。
可穿戴行业把心率、睡眠、血氧翻来覆去测了十年，围绝经期这个影响几乎所有女性的阶段，却长期没有专用设备，主要靠患者自己回忆症状。它把传感器放在了胸下。多数可穿戴追着手腕和手指跑，Peri 为症状选位置，不为佩戴舒服选位置。
不过以上数据与准确性论述多来自公司，没有第三方验证。「持续追踪能提前识别心血管、骨密度和认知风险」是公司的推测，目前还不是已验证的功能。

First build an entrance, then put AI slowly into it.
This week, Apple sent a new generation of HomePod Mini, $149, sold on October 30, and the real new Siri waits until the software is updated. The tech giants are rushing to put AI little equipment on the shelf before the holiday season.
Big companies have a uniform approach, build an entrance, then slowly stuff AI into it. But the product in the list this week is going another way. NOPIA made the music only an eight-degree keyboard, pressing one key to produce a whole chord. InstaSpot condensed the ultrasound cleaner into a 65-gram pen. Nothing put a physical switch on the headphone to switch to a listening mode. These capabilities, which were originally specialized equipment, are being squeezed into small things that can be carried on hand.
And they're doing it in a narrower direction, which means they don't have to compete with the big factory, they just have to fix a little pain deep enough. The figures on the press page also indicate that people are paid, and the NOPIA target is $50,000, and eventually 161.9 million. But the user needs to recognize the pain to pay $650 for one thing. After the rally, the small companies test their ability to deliver, and NOPIA waits until early 2027 for delivery. It is not difficult to decentralize capacity into the pocket, but to keep it in the pocket.
The following is the latest product recommended in issue 9 of the "Construction 100".
Nothing Headphone (1) Pro: 3 units per side, $100 price increase
Nothing happened on September 28th, publish wears a Headphone (1) Pro, $399, which is $100 more expensive than a generation and is sold on September 29th on the official network, Amazon and Best Buy. Nothing is telling musicians that these headsets can be used to work, not just to look good.
Where's the $100? The most intuitive is the sound unit, which turns from a 40 mm ring on each side to three: a tube bass ring, a tube frequency ring, plus an xMEMS high-sound unit, equals three people on each side. The noise mics were added from six to ten, and the official claim was that the average noise reduction was 5 dB and the coverage was 40% wide. Battery 1060 mAh, officially known as 30 hours for noise reduction, 68 hours for noise reduction, 5 minutes for hearing 2-4 hours. Support for LDAC and Hi-Res, Bluetooth 6.1, with Auracast.
It's still a transparent way to look, but the materials are upgraded. Aluminium alloy frame with titanium alloy beams, translucent earpieces replaced by 9H panda glass, 9H, which is about shaving hardness, which is a real upgrade for an earpiece that's going to be thrown into a bag every day.
Software and tunes are made with London's Metropolis Studios. There's a Flat EQ physical switch on the left ear mask, which cuts to unmodified flat tunes and doesn't have to open App when you want to hear the original juice. There are also five dynamic spatial audio to support head tracking. The official direct naming of Bose QuietComfort Headphones and Sennheiser MOMENTUM 5, equals two older brothers coming up.
But we're retreating. The official 68 hours do not match the 80 hours of the generation, but it is important to note that the generation figures are SoundGuys, Pro is the official label, with different calibres. 399 dollars have reached the gates of Bose and Sennheiser, and there's not enough brand power for Notting to know, perhaps until the evaluation.
Otman, AI interactive dialogueer "The Call of Light": The timer hangs on his body, and he can call and team.
The Light Call is the third generation AI interactive dialogueer of the Al Toys Company Haivivi, which is modelled from the Ortman classic coloured timer, with energy light, physical buttons and a safety leash. Children can talk to the Ottman character, they can enter the interactive scene of their own choice, and they support cellular calls, friendly teams, and remote conversations under 4G or WiFi. The official retail price was $599, which was opened on October 15th, and the first purchase of gifted flow cards and NFC coins for the Dica theme.
The first two generations used to play with each other, with many calls and teams, from a toy talking to a child to a prop to connect a child. Officially, it is based on its home-based H6Infra cloud equipment architecture and H6Loop engine, and the new functionality can continue after testing without waiting for the next generation of hardware.
And more interesting is its form selection. A velvet toy is accompanied by a ceiling, the child is grown up without hugs, a caller, a teamer, and closer to what a child wants to bring to school, a step towards an AI toy.
However, the specifications for batteries, weights and chips are not currently published. With regard to the IP mandate, the current coverage is simply an Otmann thematic product, with no joint details. The cellular phone calls are also of greater concern to parents, such as the location of children and how data are stored.
Semimodular and Acoustic Generator NOPIA MK1: Press one key to pop up a whole chord
NOPIA MK1 is a 41.5 x 23 x 3.5 centimetre wood synthesiser with only an eight-degree piano key, but press one key and eject the whole chord.
On the left side of the keyboard, there are 12 keys to the modem and the size switch, first tell it which button you have, and then the rest of it goes. Real mode uses the chord and string you play, Static mode allows each key to match a level in the scale, so the same set of fingers can be used.
To make chords more complex, a knob plus nine degrees and eleven degrees, Shift keys with hang and six chords, touchboards for chording and bending. There are four sound sections in the machine: Keys, Bass, Arp, Pad, each with its own MIDI output, USB-C powered and transmitted MIDI. Kickstarter runs on September 15, with a super-early bird start price of $650, standard slot $699 and delivery expected in early 2027.
It was made by Martin Grieco and Rocío Gal of Argentina, two musicians and designers with a small team. The prototype was first made of the Ableton effect rack for live performances, and became the summer project for instrument design competitions. After the presentation in 2023, 20,000 a day, three days of breaking a million, and then three years of waiting, it finally came down. The goal of the rally was $50,000, with about 1.4 million going online 24 hours, and on October 15, about $16.19 million, 2473 supporters, 32 times over-mobilization.
Learn chords, and usually go through the music level: how do you change the chords, how do you extend the sound, like a back-script watch, and you start talking. MK1 puts these rules directly into the hardware, so that those who don't know the music can make a decent sound, and those who know it save time to flip the string watch.
More interesting is its name. NOPIA, a joke from a friend, "It's not a piano," and in the Argentine slang, it happens to be the pianos. There's no word label on the machine, just a little screen to tell you what you just played.
But it took three years for a video to turn into a printout, and the delivery to wait until early 2027, the ability of a small team to deliver has not yet been tested. How many people do you have to wait for feedback from the first users?
InstaSpot: 52 kHz in the pocket, cuisine on the clothes.
InstaSpot is a pocket-sized ultrasound defiler, about 5.9 inches long, weighing about 65 grams, with a round-head stainless steel blade at the front end and a shell resistant to water. When used, spray a little soap water on the stain, press the switch and move the blade back up the stain. The blades vibrate at a frequency of 52,000 times per second, producing a small bubble in the water, causing the stains to come out of the fibre by the impact of the bursting. Inline 1200 mAh lithium batteries, USB-C charged, filled with approximately 30 minutes, declared free of irritant chemical components and also capable of taking on board aircraft.
It's done in San Francisco FireArt. Kickstarter ran on September 15th and collected some $741 million on October 15th, supported by 7035 people. The target was only $3000, nearly 250 times more than that, with an average of $105 per supporter.
Outside, the soup, coffee and lipstick are rubbing on clothes, often with paper towels, and the washing machine is waiting to come home. InstaSpot wants to condense an ultrasound cleaner into a pen, so you can handle it on the spot.
What's more interesting is that it didn't invent new principles, that ultrasound cleaning is a mature industrial tool, that InstaSpot does just to reduce size and make it a morphous form. If you want to be careful with the "first paragraph of the world", the project page says "first pocket size" and there are ultrasounds like Electrolux on the market to sell the stains.
However, the project page, which states that "any fabric, new and old stains will be applied" is self-evident and no independent evaluation has been found. Without water and detergent, the ultrasound itself can't get rid of the stain, so it's more like a helper who lets you wash less than once, than a decontaminator.
I can wear it during menopausal period.
Peri is a wearable sensor specially designed for the menopause period, which is small and light and is worn under the chest. The company claims that the position is more accurate than the wrists or rings in capturing blood-shrunk symptoms such as heat and sweat. The sensor continuously collects biological data, which combines symptoms with sleep, emotions, activity, and gives a pattern by week, month and menstruation cycle. The sale price is US$ 449 and is not subject to subscription fees. It can be paid in the FSA or HSA account on 7 April 2026.
Founded in 2021 by Heidi Davis and Donald O'Gorman, the product was announced by the government in November 2025 and won a digital health award for the CES Innovation Award in 2025. According to the company, its AI platform has been operating for five years, training only on continuous data for women in the menopause, with the aim of establishing the first large-scale menopause data set.
The wearable industry has been measuring heart rate, sleep, blood oxygen for 10 years, and the period of menopause, which affects almost all women, has long been devoid of specialized equipment, mainly by the patient's own memory. It puts the sensor under the chest. Most of them can use their wrists and fingers, and Peri picks the position for symptoms, not the comfortable position for wear.
However, most of the above data and accuracy discussions are from companies and are not validated by third parties. "Sustained tracking allows for the early identification of cardiovascular, bone density and cognitive risks" is a company presumption and is not yet a proven function.
