$400 Keychain Pet Does Absolutely Nothing

Starboy is a $200–$440 star-shaped keychain with an OLED face, camera, and sensors that reacts to gestures like being flipped off or shaken — but deliberately does nothing useful. It has no app, no phone connection, and no subscription, by design. Creator Daniel Kuntz positions Starboy as a philosophical pushback against AI gadget culture, calling it a "f*ck you" to failed devices like Humane's Ai Pin. Despite using machine learning for face and gesture recognition, the team avoids the "AI" label entirely, marketing the toy as something that proudly promises not to change your life.
