DIYer turns vintage rotary phone into AI assistant
Technology
Pankaj from Bengaluru just gave his grandfather's 1970s rotary phone a serious upgrade: it's now an AI assistant!
Still rocking its classic look, the phone answers to "Hey Kiri" and can book cabs, set up meetings, and even turn off lights.
All this magic happened on a budget of about ₹2,307, and once Pankaj shared a demo online, it quickly caught the internet's eye.
People are calling it both clever and inspiring
Tech fans and social media users are loving how Pankaj blended nostalgia with smart tech.
People are calling it both clever and inspiring: proof that old gadgets can get a cool second life with some creativity.
