Inanimate's Promptable AI Devices WORKS Launch November 19, Each Ships With a Preloaded Behavior
genmon · x · 2026-11-01
Inanimate announced WORKS, a limited release of "promptable products" — personal AI devices that transform into whatever you can imagine — launching November 19, with a waitlist opening soon.
The team's design philosophy: hand someone a device that can do anything and you're asking them to invent a use, which is a challenge. So every WORKS device ships with a preloaded behavior, wrapped in a familiar physical form to spark ideas, plus a cone of possibilities to explore. This week the team is dialing in pre-loads in London while presenting at MozFest in Barcelona with Mozilla Ventures.
