Our take

A wearable AI voice ring sounds like science fiction, but that's exactly what makes it compelling. Leading product design for Stream means defining entirely new interaction paradigms at the intersection of AI and wearables — the kind of 0-to-1 work most designers dream about.

About Sandbar

Sandbar is an interface company in New York City. We aim to augment individuals in an agentic world—to think, act, and move freely. Our team has built SW, ML, and HW products across Meta, CTRL-labs, Google, Apple, Fitbit, Peloton, and Equinox.

Our first product, Stream, is a new human-agent interface—a private voice ring and conversational computer. Stream has been featured in WSJ, Bloomberg, & Wired, and begins shipping in Summer '26.

Join us in creating a new interface for self augmentation.
