In a blend of innovation, humour and sheer convenience, a man from Mangaluru has unveiled an AI-powered gadget that automatically orders food the moment his stomach growls. The wearable contraption has baffled and amused netizens alike but its working will surely grab your attention.
The brain behind this unusual invention is Sohan M Rai, a startup founder and tech-content creator, who sometimes goes by “@zikiguy.” Clipped neatly onto his belt, the device officially named MOM (Meal Ordering Module) is designed to pick up stomach rumbles using a modified stethoscope (yes, borrowed from his sister), then feed the sound data to an AI engine to interpret hunger signals.
Once the AI judges a genuine growl-to-order level, MOM fires off a food order on Zomato, no smartphone tap required. Rai claims the device can even gauge how hungry he is: a soft rumble might fetch a snack, while a deeper growl could mean two pizzas or a full biryani.
As expected, the Internet had a field day. Some praised the quirky creativity, perfect for busy days when you forget to eat. Others were skeptical: Growl doesn’t always mean hungry, one commenter pointed out. Some even labelled MOM as a fun experiment, but questioned its real-world utility.
But love it or mock it, MOM raises some interesting ideas. It’s a cheeky reminder that in our increasingly automated lives, even hunger might soon be outsourced.
Who knows? Maybe someday your belly will place your dinner order for you.
