Sequoia and Linear Capital place bets 54 g AI Personal display raises several hundred million yuan before launch

Beating AI Newsflash, Shenzhen AI hardware company Luke Technology (NOOKLAB) has completed several financing rounds, with investors including Sequoia China and Linear Capital, raising a cumulative several hundred million yuan CNY, with a valuation approaching 100000000 USD. Two financing rounds were concentrated at the beginning of this year. At that time, founder Zhao Yue had left ByteDance only about 3 months earlier, and the company had not yet launched a product.NOOKLAB's first product, Moonphase Flip, is a AI e-ink display that magnetically attaches to the back of a mobile phone. It weighs 54 g and is 4.65 mm thick, equipped with 6 microphones and offering battery life of more than 2 days. According to the official introduction, after users enable recording,AI can extract schedules, commitments, and to-do items from conversations and display them directly on the rear display. Users can view them simply by turning over their phone, without opening an app to search for records.

It also plans to combine calendars and historical conversations to prepare meeting materials in advance, generate meeting summaries, and draft follow-up emails. The product is expected to be sold in small batches December, and independent testing is still lacking.

Similar products have already emerged. Flowtica's Verso likewise combines recording and an e-ink display, but weighs as much as 98 g. Moonphase Flip emphasizes a lighter, thinner form factor and fewer notification interruptions. Whether AI can accurately identify users' commitments and complete follow-up tasks still requires real-world verification.
