2. Company claim

   Omi says summaries, tasks and memories are created automatically, with a recap of the day each evening, and that tasks sync to your to-do app; spoken answers come when you ask Omi or tap the pendant.

   Omi says it does not train AI on user data and encrypts data in transit and at rest, and tells users to get permission before recording others. Layer3 Labs notes Omi's enterprise page lists SOC 2 Type II as still in progress, while the pendant page calls Omi SOC 2 compliant.
