Idea Details

🕳️ Dead Air Detector – Fill the Silence

Some silences are golden. Others are just painfully awkward.

The Dead Air Detector is a sleek wearable that monitors conversation flow using ambient sound and AI analysis. When the awkward silence stretches past 3.5 seconds, you’ll get a gentle buzz — a nudge to say something (anything).


🔊 Key Capabilities:

  • Measures pause duration & tone shifts

  • Customizable “buzz threshold” for introverts/extroverts

  • Emergency conversation-starter prompt mode

  • Pairs with phone for conversation analysis post-event


Why Use Dead Air Detector?

Because even the best ideas need timing. And silence isn’t always a punchline — sometimes it’s a warning sign.
