In an era where modern work is dominated by endless meetings, constant notifications, and information overload, a Bengaluru-based startup is rethinking how humans interact with memory and productivity. NeoSapien, founded in 2024 by cousins Dhananjay Yadav and Aryan Yadav, has introduced a bold innovation aimed at quietly solving one of today’s biggest workplace challenges — mental fatigue and forgotten follow-ups.
The founders believe that memory should not be a daily struggle. Instead of forcing people to constantly take notes, remember action items, or revisit long message threads, NeoSapien’s philosophy is simple: technology should handle memory in the background, seamlessly and ethically.
Their flagship product, Neo 1, is being described as India’s first AI-powered necklace — a wearable device designed to function as a “second brain.” With user consent, Neo 1 listens to conversations throughout the day and uses artificial intelligence to identify key points, extract action items, and track important follow-ups automatically.
What sets Neo 1 apart is its ability to turn everyday conversations into searchable intelligence. Users can later search their entire day — meetings, discussions, calls, and ideas — across more than 100 languages, making it especially relevant in a multilingual country like India and for global professionals.
The device is built for modern professionals who juggle back-to-back meetings, remote collaboration, and constant communication. By removing the cognitive burden of remembering everything, Neo 1 aims to improve focus, reduce burnout, and ensure that critical details never slip through the cracks.
NeoSapien’s innovation reflects a broader shift in how startups are approaching artificial intelligence — not as something loud or intrusive, but as a quiet assistant that works invisibly in the background. Instead of adding yet another app or dashboard, Neo 1 blends directly into daily life as a wearable.
