I agree the title was a bit confusing. There were actually two separate AI pendant products, both named Friend.

My understanding is that this is one of them, and they changed the name shortly after the other was released.

Edit: ah seems the title has been updated

Why did they back down? The other one just stole the name and bought friend.com ? Even the best lawyers cant justify banning the original inventor?

I think they mean "Friend-like" pendant. This appears to be an open source implementation of the Friend pendant.

This renamed from Friend, and still (as of this comment) refers to itself as Friend in the home page footer links to the two variations of the product, Friend and Friend Dev Kit.
