Ring founder and chief inventor Jamie Siminoff discussed the company's first smart lock in an interview with Yahoo Finance. The device features a hand-crank dial designed to solve the dead-battery problem that has limited smart lock adoption. Siminoff said he built the initial version himself overnight using AI tools.
When asked about Apple entering the smart lock market, Siminoff said competition doesn't factor into his decisions. Instead, he focuses entirely on solving customer problems and staying focused on the company's mission. He outlined four principles for moving fast and discussed other smart home products Ring is exploring.
Siminoff also updated Ring's Search Party tool, an AI system that helps locate lost dogs, and explained why he returned to work at Amazon after co-founding Ring.
