Phones at the table are rude. Recording everyone instead? Apparently cool enough to productize.
Prego teamed up with StoryCorps to build a table-top puck called the Connection Keeper that tapes your family conversations, on purpose. Itโs got dual mics, one-button recording, 16GB of storage (~8 hours) and zero Wi-Fi, zero AI. Fewer than 100 exist, so yes, itโs mostly a marinara-friendly PR stunt.ย
Nothing says being present with family like pressing record before your uncle starts yelling about politics.
