Jinni It is waterproof, magnetic and can be mounted or carried on almost any garment or in any vehicle.
The developers of Jinni explain more about its inspiration and features, “Jinni is a lot like a Sci-Fi Communicator that integrates Okay Google, Alexa, and Jinni (Android) – or Siri (iOS). Jinni allows you to experience all the great things about your favourite virtual assistants without having to pick favourites. It is the best of both worlds. Jinni is a small Bluetooth button that integrates the power of Alexa and Okay Google into one portable device”.
