Smart application scenarios causing silly jokes is nothing new. For example, if you say to a speaker, "I want to hear Jack Ma sing," and then find it unpleasant and want to change the song, saying "I don't like it," the speaker might not respond to your command at all.



Currently, single-function smart products are becoming increasingly common. But when it comes to making application scenarios more practical, shopping is definitely one of those categories.



Recently, on a crowdfunding platform, a voice-controlled device that reminds customers to buy groceries on their way home was unveiled.





For those single people who cook for themselves, ensuring an adequate supply of ingredients at home is important. Lystr allows you to say goodbye to paper lists or note-taking apps and easily automate this process.





Simply put, Lystr is a bit like a supermarket barcode scanner, but it's further miniaturized and has built-in WiFi and voice reception capabilities. It's just over 6 centimeters in diameter and can be plugged into a kitchen outlet for use.



When you need to replenish food, you can scan the barcode of the food with Lystr to generate a relevant shopping list. If you don't want to specify a brand, you can also give voice commands directly to Lystr, such as: "Lystr, remind me to buy bananas."





Any object with barcode information that comes close will trigger Lystr's sensor. After scanning, Lystr will search for product information in its database and add the product to your shopping list. You can view the items you need to buy anytime in the companion app.







Lystr is always on standby, allowing you to add items to your shopping list by voice while cooking in the kitchen. It claims to provide a more comprehensive database than the Amazon Dash Wand and can also provide shopping routes based on shelf locations, so you'll never forget what you need to buy again.
