AI hardware should let users own their context, not lock it in

The article critiques the current monetization logic of AI hardware, arguing that most devices aim to trap user data and context within proprietary platforms. Using the Feishu Voice Recorder as a counter-example, the author suggests the real value lies in letting users export their data (e.g., transcripts via CLI) to their local context. Given the centralization of Agents and fluctuating model prices, locking users into specific model services is unsustainable. Instead, hardware vendors should provide tools that help users bridge their captured context into their own Agent workflows.
