To suggest the best makeup color, this AI-driven technology does precise color analysis in 3,448 locations of the face while also utilizing facial recognition technology to analyze emotions.

The service can also be merged with the TONEWORK alchemist, a fully automated multi-category cosmetic manufacturing device, to rapidly produce various personalized products, making TONEWORK what the manufacturer hopes will be the beauty industry's next leading bespoke makeup solution.

6. TTcare could help spot pet health problems early

The pet healthcare software TTcare can identify illnesses and other health problems. Its AI software analyses the image after you take a picture of your dog or cat and alerts you to any potential eye, skin, or other common concerns.

To follow up and ask questions, pet owners can also participate in virtual consultations with veterinarians. Using this preventive care, pets can receive faster treatment, extending their lives and improving their quality of life.

The AI-powered app uses patent-pending technology; it was developed by collecting data from animals and veterinary experts to refine it over the years with a data set including a large number of trials and errors.

The company behind it, AI FOR PET, is a Korean young start-up founded in 2020 and describe themselves as continuing "to learn and explore different paths for what we think would be the best way forward for our beloved companions. 

"We know that nothing is guaranteed in our endeavors, yet we all know that there are some things that we can do for our pet companions to help them live a healthier, happier life, and we thrive to be that channel between our beloved companions," stated their site.

7. Mindbank lets you store yourself for future generations to talk to

Mindbank is an interesting AI-powered app that lets you "store" your consciousness, ready to be accessed by future generations after your death. Inspired by the creator's observation of his daughter talking to Siri, Mindbank has been designed to develop a Siri-like application to allow conversation with the dead.

"Today she speaks to Siri, but one day in the future, I want her to speak to me like this even if I’m not alive,” Mindbank's founder says.

"Our vision is to be the world’s most trusted guardians of your AI Digital Twin and move the human race forward. Humanity’s next evolutionary step is to combine ourselves with Ai and move humanity forward, so we are no longer bound by anything," explained Mindbank.

"As you create your AI Digital Twin you’ll go on a lifelong journey of personal discovery and growth that will allow you to reach your full potential."

So, how does it work? According to Mindbank, its app provides the following functions:

• Guided questions make it easier for your digital twin to learn about your life story so you can use data to live eternally. Each response brings it one step closer to becoming you.
• With the use of advanced cognitive analysis, you'll be able to learn important insights about each response and comprehend how your mind functions.
• Each response will aid in sharpening your thinking and enable you to consider the past. With each interaction, you'll develop your inner fortitude and courage.
• Your data is saved using a distributed ledger, making it exceedingly impossible for someone to steal your personal information or use it to identify you.
• Although initially offered in English and Spanish, it will eventually support more than 46 languages.

8. "HEY MIRROR" could be the only smart mirror you ever need

The "HEY MIRROR" smart furniture item combines a mirror and a display with IoT (Internet of Things) technology. It allows you to control smart homes, utilize different healthcare devices, check information, integrate data management, check the news and weather, and enjoy music, videos, etc.

The idea is that by connecting all of your Internet of Things (IoT) devices with a single "Hey Mirror," you can use them with ease. The AI voice recognition module allows for the natural management of desired functions and the quick review of data gathered by smart devices.

It is fitted with a 5.8GHz radar sensor module to identify the presence of a user's bathroom space, instead of an infrared proximity sensor that would only allow sensing at a short distance or from the front.

It is also easily controlled by touch and AI voice recognition. As a result, the mirror's LED lights, smart fans, and non-toxic LED405 sterilization light can all be automatically controlled.

The LED405 sterilizing light, which is safe for human-body contact, also comes on when no user is detected in the bathroom to keep the area clean. The Anion LED light comes on when a user is spotted and begins to remove airborne impurities for 24 hours.

9. Pontosense is an AI-powered human monitoring solution

The AI-powered sensor from Pontosense changes commonplace technologies to focus on the people who use it.

According to its creators, "wireless Intelligent Sensing drives the future of human-centric technology. ​By using RF sensing to capture the tiniest micromovements, we can understand how feelings are reflected in vitals, providing important health insights to users."

It works using RF sensors that send out mmWaves which are then reflected when they come into contact with objects in its path. Micromovements like breathing or heartbeats will then tend to generate different reflected signals that the AI algorithms analyze to derive critical biometrics.

The company claims its sensor is so sensitive that it can detect the tiny movements made by a sleeping child in a car seat, even through numerous layers of clothes and, more critically, through sunshades and blankets.

To distinguish between humans and objects, the sensor picks up very subtle micro-movements from people, such as breathing and heartbeat.

Pontosense can be used for various applications, from in-car driver and passenger monitoring to health monitoring and intelligent home management systems to help reduce energy consumption.

And that is your lot for today.
