this guy made $16 billion vacuum cleaners. His next invention is an AI powered toothbrush with a camera in the brush head. The macro lens sits right under the brush head, scanning your teeth at 28 images per second, hunting for gaps where plaque normally forms. The AI's already trained on 470,000 dental images to know what it's looking for. The second it finds a gap, it fires a cone of mouthwash into it within 100 milliseconds. So here's what went into this: six years of development, 661 engineers, 38 patents and 16 million lines of code, all whilst training the AI with 470,000 dental images. I know that sounds like an insane amount of money and time to be putting into a toothbrush, but Dyson just built a wall that is very difficult to copy. So the $499 price tag sounds mental, but you're not paying for bristles, you're paying for six years of R&D that most consumer brands never bother doing. That tiny little camera can't see through regular toothpaste foam, it blinds the lens. So Dyson's already lining up its low foam toothpaste and mouthwash, as well as refill heads that need changing every few months, and a dock that refills the mouthwash in under three seconds. I think that's the real business here. It's the same playbook as your $300 espresso machine that only takes its own pods. Dyson just did it with your bathroom sink. I breakdown tech like this every single week. So if you found this interesting, don't forget to give me a follow.
